Energy storage subsidy policies are released in many places, and the industry is expected to usher in large-scale development
Recently, Guangdong Zhaoqing High-tech Zone issued several measures to save electricity and support the development of the manufacturing industry. The document proposes to vigorously promote the construction of photovoltaic power generation projects, and focus on the construction of energy storage and ice storage projects. For enterprises in the zone to construct energy storage and ice storage projects, they will receive a subsidy of 150 yuan per kilowatt after they are completed and put into use, and the maximum subsidy for each zone enterprise is 1 million yuan.
Not long ago, Wenzhou, Yiwu and other places have also issued energy storage subsidy policies. Yiwu will provide energy storage operators with a subsidy of 0.25 yuan/kWh for the energy storage system that receives the overall planning and dispatch of the power grid according to the actual discharge capacity of the peak period, and the subsidy is two years. For actual energy storage projects put into operation, Wenzhou will give energy storage operators a subsidy of 0.8 yuan/kWh according to the actual discharge capacity. This subsidy is unprecedented and will stimulate enterprises to participate in exploring new ways of market-oriented operation of energy storage projects.
Since the second half of 2021, many regions in the country are facing power shortages, and the contradiction between power supply and demand has become more and more obvious. On September 28, the National Energy Administration issued a notice on "New Energy Storage Project Management Regulations (Interim)". The document stated that grid companies should provide grid access services for new energy storage projects in a fair and non-discriminatory manner. The biggest change in this document is that the “energy storage projects that provide services to the outside world” are defined in the scope of application and managed through the boundaries of energy storage services, which provides more flexible development space for energy storage.
Traditional thermal power has obvious advantages. It can be matched to power generation according to electricity demand. However, in the context of peaking carbon, the proportion of coal power will undoubtedly show a downward trend. In the future, with the advancement of new power reforms and the advent of the energy Internet era, coordinated development of various energy sources and multi-energy complementation are a general trend, and the advantages of the joint development of coal power and photovoltaic energy storage will gradually appear.
