China to boost offshore wind power

BID Consulting Group — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:29:40 +0000

NANJING — China will increase its offshore wind power installed capacity to 5 gigawatts (GW) by 2015 and 30GW by 2020, the National Energy Administration said Wednesday.

The public tender for the second round of offshore wind power concession projects with a total installed capacity of 1.5GW to 2GW will be completed during the first half of 2012, the administration said at a meeting held in the city of Nantong, Jiangsu province.

Liu Qi, deputy director of the administration, said that relevant departments should recognize the importance and urgency of developing offshore wind power.
The country often faces severe power shortages in summers, with power generation and transmission systems unable to cope with rising demand.

China faces a 30GW power shortfall this summer, according to data from the China Electricity Council.

Liu said the country should expedite the establishment of an advanced and fully-equipped offshore wind power industry to boost its large-scale development.

In June 2010, Shanghai’s East Sea Bridge’s 100MW offshore wind farm project was complete

Bright future for biomass power in China

BID Consulting Group — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:25:24 +0000

China plans to expand its installed generation capacity of biomass power to 13 million kilowatts by the end of 2015, China Business News reported on Monday.
The figure doubled the former goal proposed by the China Electricity Council, and is even higher than the planned installed capacity of solar power, which will grow to 10 million kilowatts by the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), according to Liu Tienan, the head of the National Energy Administration, who made these remarks at the national rural energy conference.
China’s present installed capacity for biomass power, of which marsh gas generation and garbage incineration are project examples, is about 5.5 million kilowatts. Wu Youqing, a professor with the East China University of Science and Technology, said at the conference that China should produce 5 billion tons of biomass power every year theoretically, which equals 10 percent of the country’s total coal production.
The on-grid price of biomass power is now set at 0.75 yuan ($0.12) per kilowatt-hour. Analysts said that biomass power stations may make profits due to recently released policies.

China’s National Energy Administration may reinstate its control over onshore wind-power projects with less than 50,000 kilowatts of capacity, the China Securities Journal said, citing an unidentified person.
Currently, wind power farms of less than 50,000 kilowatts are approved by provincial governments and only larger facilities need approval from the central-government agency, the Beijing-based newspaper said Wednesday.
