[The total planned scale of Fengscenery base is 450GW]On November 29, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a paper titled "Remarkable Results of Green and Low-carbon Energy Transformation Action -- Progress of Ten Actions to Reach the Carbon Peak (I)", which pointed out that the planning and layout of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on desert, Gobi and desert areas, with a total planned scale of about 450 million kW, should be implemented. At present, the construction of the first batch of 95 million kW base projects has all started. The list of the second batch of projects has been issued, the preliminary work has been accelerated, and the third batch of base projects have been organized and planned. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
The latest simulation study shows that the Australian national electricity market can achieve nearly 100% renewable energy supply with only 24 gigawatts/120 gigawatt hours of energy storage, of which renewable energy accounts for 98.5% and the remaining 1.5% is supplemented by other energy sources. This simulation is based on actual electricity data since August 2021, scaling wind and photovoltaic power generation to 60% and 45% of annual demand, respectively, and utilizing existing hydropower synergy balance. The estimated power supply cost is $126 per megawatt hour, which is equivalent to the wholesale electricity price level in the past five years.Editor/Yang Meiling
In 2025, the EU will add 27.1 gigawatt hours of battery energy storage capacity, a year-on-year increase of 45%, setting a historical record. Since 2021, the total scale of energy storage in the European Union has surged from 7.8 gigawatt hours to 77.3 gigawatt hours, an increase of nearly tenfold. The report points out that public utility scale projects have become the main force, accounting for 55% of the annual new installed capacity, indicating a significant shift in market structure. To meet the energy flexibility needs by 2030, the EU needs to increase its energy storage capacity tenfold to approximately 750 gigawatt hours to support large-scale integration of renewable energy.Editor/Yang Meiling
