Guodian Power Yunnan Wind Power Project Approved

After a one-year suspension of Yunnan's wind power construction and approvals have recently resumed, Yunnan’s “wind-water complementary” energy structure will be further revealed.

On May 13, the SASAC official website showed that in recent days, Guodian Power Yunnan New Energy Development Co., Ltd. in Zhuoganshan wind power project in Kunming, was approved by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. The project has an installed capacity of 36,000 kilowatts, and it is estimated that the annual average on-grid electricity of the wind farm will be about 83.01 million kwh.

In March of last year, a document in Yunnan Province required all wind power projects in the province to stop construction and approval. Judging from the approval of the State Power Yunnan project, wind power policy in Yunnan province has ushered in a turn.

“Yunnan has great advantages in the complementary regulation of wind power and hydropower.” Han Xiaoping, chief expert of China Energy Network, told the reporter of “Daily Economic News” that after the suspension of wind power construction in Yunnan, it was largely due to the issue of consumption, and with the The opening of China-Myanmar oil and gas pipelines and the exploration of the "feng shui complementary" model, Yunnan's ability to adjust its energy structure has continued to increase, and the issue of power supply coordination has not been as severe as it used to be.

At the end of 2013, a series of favorable wind power policies were introduced. Accompanied by the rising profits of wind power companies, the emergence of wind power cost advantages, and the ease of wind curtailment, the industry pointed out that after two years of winter, the wind power industry “worsed up as a whole”. . However, at the beginning of last year, a paper document by the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission made this warm wind suddenly stop on the way to Yunnan.

Sudden documentary notices “frozen” Dali Prefecture, which accounts for more than 60% of the total wind power project in Yunnan. “We all stopped construction in accordance with the requirements of the province. All large and small projects in the province were closed.” At the end of 2013, internal sources from the Dali Prefecture Energy Bureau in Yunnan Province told reporters.

One year after another, Yunnan Wind Power Enterprises and the City Government finally ushered in a turn for the better. The reporter confirmed from the Dali Prefecture Energy Bureau in Yunnan Province that the Yunnan wind power project has been gradually restored to construction and approval. According to the official website of the Dali State Development and Reform Commission, the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission recently issued the “Notice on Restoring Wind Power Construction Issues in the Province”, and the province’s wind power project was resumed.

In addition, the wind power resources in Yunnan Honghe Prefecture, Wenshan Prefecture and other major wind power resources have all been published on the official website. The reporter called the Department of Hydroelectric Power and New Energy of Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission to verify the matter, but the telephone has not been connected.

On March 30, 2013, the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the “Notice on Temporarily Relieving the Construction of Wind Power Projects under Construction” and the “Circular on the Comprehensive Assessment of the Wind Farms Put into Operation across the Province”, requiring 11 cities and provinces from the A total of 41 projects and 1,953,500 kilowatts of wind power projects under construction have been suspended.

For the reason why the wind power development was stopped, Yunnan Province officials stated that it was due to environmental issues. Most experts believe that the main factor behind the halt is the energy consumption in Yunnan.

“Consumption is the main problem in Yunnan.” Han Xiaoping told reporters that with the development of energy structure adjustment, state subsidy policies, and power grid technologies, the “feng shui complementary” model in Yunnan has great advantages, and Yunnan’s high-quality wind power resources are also Should be vigorously developed.
