China Economic Weekly-Economic News On October 23, the "Building a World-class Low-Carbon Enterprise" Development Forum and the New Strategy Conference of China Power corporation jointly sponsored by China Power International Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Power") and China International Capital Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as "CICC") was held.

Qian Zhimin, secretary of the party group and chairman of the board of directors of the State Power Investment Group, delivered a welcome speech. Qian Zhimin introduced that at present, the installed scale of photovoltaic power of has exceeded 36 million kilowatts, the installed capacity of new energy power generation has exceeded 70 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world. China Power is the flagship listed company of the group company, and holding this new strategic conference is an important measure for China Power to implement the "double carbon" goal.

The State Power Investment Group has given China Power the strategic positioning of the group company as the main force of "building a world-class clean energy enterprise", and the strategic transformation and development achievements of China Power's new senior management team since its establishment prove that China Power has fulfilled its mission.

Focusing on the release of the new strategy, He Yi, chief engineer of new energy of and chairman of the board of directors of China Power, delivered a keynote speech, focusing on the theme of new mission, new positioning, new track and new value, and great ecological achievements, and shared with the participants the major strategic direction and implementation path of what kind of company China Power should become in the new era. He said that under the background of the new era of "double carbon", China Electric Power will uphold the original intention and mission of "daring to be the first, serving the country with industry", determined to lead the times, take the initiative to surpass itself, and strive to become a tide maker in the new era.

Under the new strategic framework, China Electric Power will take "low-carbon empowerment of a better life" as its mission, adhering to the core concept of "green empowerment, intelligent innovation and common achievements", based on the "trinity" positioning of clean and low-carbon energy producers, green energy technology service providers, and double-carbon ecosystem integrators, and strive to promote the development of clean and low-carbon energy such as photovoltaic, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass energy, etc.; and actively cultivate green emerging industries such as energy storage, hydrogen energy, green power transportation, and comprehensive smart energy. Implement the "two-wheel drive" of clean and low-carbon energy and green emerging industries, strive to achieve the "double-first-class" growth of "from China's first-class to world-class", and strive to create a "world-class green and low-carbon energy supplier".

In terms of strategic implementation arrangements, by the end of 2023, China's installed clean energy capacity will account for more than 70%, and clean energy revenue will account for more than 50%; Comprehensive smart energy revenue accounts for more than 15%, and more than 100 cities and counties have landed strategic major customers and strategic cooperation; By the end of 2025, domestic clean energy installed capacity will account for more than 90%, and clean energy revenue will account for more than 70%; Comprehensive smart energy revenue accounts for more than 25%, and more than 200 cities and counties have landed strategic major customers and strategic cooperation. To become the leader of China's green electric transportation and energy storage power station, the pioneer of low-carbon zero-carbon beautiful countryside, the builder of new hydrogen energy ecology, green electric transportation, energy storage and hydrogen energy have built a number of pilot demonstration projects abroad.

It is reported that China Electric Power has been actively promoting strategic transformation, laying out new industries and leading new tracks. In 2021, the clean transformation pressed the "fast forward button", as of now, nearly 10 million kilowatts of photovoltaic wind power projects have been landed, 20 million kilowatts of wind and photovoltaic project resources have been locked, and 30 million kilowatts of wind and photovoltaic projects have been discussed, achieving a virtuous cycle of "landing a batch, locking a batch, and reserving a batch". At the same time, China Electric Power has achieved good results in the precise layout of emerging industries such as energy storage, hydrogen energy, green electric transportation, and rural revitalization.

Focusing on achieving the goal of "double carbon" and building a new power system and a low-carbon green transformation for enterprises, Yu Bing, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said that it is necessary to continue to increase support to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of electric power. Do a good job of planning guidance, policy guidance, macro-control, create a good policy and market environment, and further stimulate the initiative, enthusiasm and creativity of enterprises in low-carbon and zero-carbon transformation. It is necessary to coordinate development and security, ensure national energy security, and ensure that the dual-carbon target is achieved as scheduled. It is necessary to increase the intensity of scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the planning and construction of flexible regulation of power sources, promote the interactive integration of "source network, load and storage", explore the development of advanced renewable energy and other technologies and carbon reduction and zero-carbon technologies, promote the integration of interconnection and development, and actively build a new power system。

Li Junfeng, senior adviser of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation, pointed out the issues that enterprises need to pay attention to to achieve the "double carbon" goal. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish between the different concepts of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and achieving "carbon neutrality" mainly depends on technological progress. As an energy enterprise, we must meet the objective energy needs of our social economy and people's living standards in accordance with the needs of the market. At the same time, it is necessary to learn from advanced experience in a timely manner and solve problems in the course of development.

Wu Yin, academic advisor of the China Energy Research Association and former deputy director of the National Energy Administration, showed the participants plant energy, a new field of energy development, and a new way to build first-class enterprises, with the title of "Exploring the Development of Plant Energy and Helping the Construction of First-class Enterprises". He said that the focus of achieving the double carbon target is on the development of renewable energy, and the new growth point for the development of renewable energy is plant energy or energy plants. He hoped that in the process of carbon reduction of energy and power enterprises, they can actively explore the development of plant energy and help the construction of world-class low-carbon enterprises.

Industry insiders believe that China Power's new strategy, from concept to practice, has a solid foundation and rich reserves, and is forward-looking, leading, strategic and constructive. Clean development and strategic transformation are inseparable from the joint efforts of the industry. At this press conference, China Electric Power has repeatedly emphasized the great significance of jointly building and sharing a green and low-carbon industrial ecology.

On the same day, China Power and Tencent Cloud Computing Signed a strategic cooperation agreement to carry out in-depth cooperation in the fields of smart cities, rural revitalization, low-carbon data centers, and the construction of smart enterprises.

At the same time, the meeting also held the unveiling ceremony of "China Electricity Agricultural Innovation" Company, which was jointly built by The New Agricultural Innovation Group, a leading enterprise of China Electric Power and Rural Revitalization, to help rural revitalization and common prosperity.
