China should accelerate the pace of construction of western photovoltaic energy base

On March 2, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee, Tong Wei Group Chairman of the Board Liu Hanyuan held a news conference in Beijing. On the current national "two sessions", Liu Hanyuan again the attention focused on the new energy industry, it is recommended that China should accelerate the development of the photovoltaic industry.

Relative to major countries in Europe and the United States, the development of China's PV market overall is also lagging behind. The total installed power generation capacity is only 1/7 of our German photovoltaic installed capacity in the past five years the rapid growth, especially in the past three years, an annual increase of more than 7GW up and 2012 solar panel manufacturers power generation accounted for 5% of the country's generating capacity. Liu Hanyuan particular example, in the noon of May 26 last year, the German photovoltaic power generation peak reached 22GW, equivalent to 50% of the national electricity load.

The other hand, China, in 2012, new domestic photovoltaic power generation capacity is only 4GW, total of 7GW up and, solar power generation accounted for only 0.07% of the national total power generation. Producing countries of the world's first PV module does not match, the match more with our huge energy consumption.

In 2012, China and the European Union, the United States in the field of new energy trade disputes caused widespread concern, trade protectionism, the war has spread to emerging industries, and a tremendous impact on related industries in China. Liu Hanyuan proposal, Europe and the United States jointly "dual" of PV products in China, the domestic photovoltaic solar panels for sale industry suffered heavy losses after 2012 suffered serious loss of not only the component producers or shutdown of a large area, the upstream polysilicon enterprises have also been affected, industry more than 90% of the polysilicon enterprises have ceased production eke a few companies capacity utilization also dropped significantly, production fell 20%, import dependency again exceeded 50%. 

"Over the years the difficult domestic polysilicon industry developed under the comprehensive blockade of the Western technological monopoly, facing the focus back to the starting point, the difficult situation of the re-take the old road, the situation is extremely severe." Said Liu Hanyuan, to accelerate the development of photovoltaic industry, not only to ensure that China's energy security, in the environment also helps to alleviate and eliminate issues such as fog and haze.

If the annual increase of 20% to 30% of the installed power generation capacity to rely on photovoltaic power plant to provide suggestions, proposals, will be formed annually 18GW ~ 27GW of new PV cheap solar panels capacity. That time, the production of PV modules in China not only not too much dependent on foreign markets, but only to meet domestic demand and a huge domestic market of the size of an annual 2 trillion to 3 trillion yuan. 

Liu Hanyuan especially pointed out the importance of the development of the photovoltaic industry in the west. A long time, China's western regions lagging behind in all aspects of social, economic, cultural and other eastern and coastal areas, but this chip area is vast and sparsely populated, solar radiation resource, one of the richest areas in the world.

"The solar PV industry is a large market size, industry wide area, pulling effect is very obvious sunrise industry, should take full advantage of the large number of China's central and western regions of the desert, grassland rich in solar energy resources into the central and western regions in the future clean energy base. "said Liu Hanyuan, which is both the needs of the economic development of the western provinces of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, the eastern, central and western energy balance their own needs.
