Installed clean energy sources in national power investment exceeds 50%.

Four years ago, the State Electric Power Investment Group Co., Ltd., which was reorganized by the former China Electric Power Investment Group Company and the State Nuclear Power Technology Company, has become the first enterprise in the five major power generation groups in China to install more than 50% clean energy. At a recent conference of the State Power Investment Corporation's Social Responsibility Report held in Beijing, the company announced that as of June 30, the total installed capacity of the State Power Investment Corporation was about 145 million kilowatts, of which 72.63 million kilowatts were installed for clean energy, accounting for 50.14%.
It is indicated that the state power investment has changed from a traditional thermal power-based energy enterprise to a green power-based energy enterprise, completing the goal of "2035 first-class strategy" that the proportion of clean energy will be more than half by 2020 one year ahead of schedule. After the restructuring of the two major groups, the development of clean energy in the State Electricity Investment Corporation has been accelerated. The installed capacity of clean energy increased by 37.4685 million kilowatts compared with the initial restructuring in May 2015, an increase of nearly 10 percentage points. By the end of 2018, the total scale of clean energy assets of state power investment has reached 592.9 billion yuan, accounting for 51.85% of the total assets, ranking first among the five power generation groups. "2035 First-class Strategy" readjusts the strategic development direction of national power investment from "Comprehensive Energy Group" to "Clean Energy Enterprise", and puts forward three-step goals: the proportion of clean energy installed in 2020 is over 50%, the proportion of clean energy installed in 2025 is up to 60%, and the proportion of clean energy installed in 2035 is up to 75%.
According to the data disclosed at the press conference, in the first half of this year, the national electricity output reached 261.9 billion kWh, up 15% year-on-year, 10 percentage points higher than the national level; business income reached 143.8 billion yuan, up 28.2% year-on-year; total profit was 76.2 billion yuan, up 57.9% year-on-year; new electricity installed in the first half of this year was 4.7 million kWh. Among them, clean energy accounts for 86%.
State Electricity Investment Corporation (SECI) has nuclear power, thermal power, hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power generation and other types of power generation. Among them, SECI is the third "license" holder of nuclear power operation in China besides China Nuclear Group and China Canton Nuclear Group, which is different from other power generation groups. The State Electricity Investment Corporation also takes the lead in organizing and implementing two major national science and technology projects, namely, large advanced pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant and heavy gas turbine.
It is reported that in the field of nuclear energy, with the first four AP1000-based projects in the world, Sanmen Nuclear Power 1, Haiyang Nuclear Power 1, Sanmen Nuclear Power 2 and Haiyang Nuclear Power Unit 2, all four units have been commercially operated, the installed capacity of national power plant reaches 69.75 million kilowatts; in the field of photovoltaics, the installed capacity of national power plant reaches 16.457 million kilowatts, which has been turned over in three years. In the field of wind power, the world's largest single wind power base, Ulanchabu, Inner Mongolia, has been approved for its 6 million kilowatt fair-price grid-connected demonstration project, which is expected to be completed and put into operation by 2020. In addition, the offshore wind capacity has reached 8.22 million kilowatt, with the largest grid-connected unit in Asia and the farthest offshore and domestic construction in China. In the field of hydropower, hydropower installed has reached 23.946 million kilowatts, forming two basins of hydropower cascade clean energy base, and pioneering the intelligent centralized control of hydropower across provinces, basins and dispatches in China. At the same time, the state power investment has accelerated the clean transformation and upgrading of coal and electricity, actively carried out the flexible transformation of units, energy saving and emission reduction, low carbon and high efficiency and other technological reforms. Compared with the beginning of 2018, the coal consumption of power supply has decreased by 335 g/kWh. In the first half of the year, the loss of coal and electricity sector has decreased by 727 million yuan, and the proportion of clean thermal power has reached 73.49%.
