The first 10 million kilowatts of in-service coal power unit upgrade will start

The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Energy Administration jointly issued a notice in recent days to deploy and comprehensively upgrade the coal-fired power plants. At the same time, they also clarified that the coal-fired power plants will enjoy the support of incentive funds, preferential policies, preferential dispatch, and other support for comprehensive upgrading of coal-fired power plants. policy.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China will adopt advanced, reliable, economically-applicable advanced power generation technologies and management methods to comprehensively upgrade the in-service coal-fired power generation units and launch the first 10 million-kilowatt demonstration projects. Comprehensive upgrades will be carried out in accordance with the principles of “market operations, policy support, pilot implementation, and orderly implementation”. The State encourages the implementation of comprehensive upgrading of coal-fired power generators with a power supply coal consumption higher than the average level of similar units by 5 g/kWh.

The state will focus on supporting the annual implementation plan of the national coal-fired power plant integrated upgrade project that meets the following conditions: a unit with a unit capacity of more than 100,000 kilowatts and less than 1 million kilowatts; a unit that has been in operation for more than two years, 200,000 kilowatts and The following pure condensing units, except for heat transformation, have service life within 15 years; for heating transformation projects, the single unit heating capacity reaches the industrial heat load of 70 tons/hour or heating heat load of 2.4 million square meters or more; The unit is expected to save more than 7,500 tons of standard coal annually.

The country will give top priority to coal-fired power plants with leading indicators and actively implement comprehensive upgrading and transformation of coal-fired power plants. The annual energy saving amount of the comprehensive upgrade project will be 10,000 tons of standard coal, and the scale of the 30 thousand kilowatts of thermal power construction of the enterprise group where the employer is located will be increased accordingly, and it will be used for thermal power projects planned and constructed by the enterprise group nationwide.

For projects that are included in the annual implementation plan of the national coal-fired power plant comprehensive upgrade project, the central government will reward the government according to the results of the actual transformation, in accordance with the “Measures for the Management of Fiscal Rewards for Energy-saving Technical Renovation,” and encourage local governments to actively support them. With the consent of the China Development Bank, projects included in the annual implementation plan will enjoy preferential credit support. In principle, the interest rate will be 10% above and below the benchmark interest rate basis for a term of more than 10 years.
