National Energy Administration: Optimize the power structure and storage configuration ratio of the "Sha Ge Desert" new energy base, and construct adjustable power sources such as solar thermal power generation according to local conditions.

The National Energy Administration released guidance on promoting the integrated development of new energy. It pointed out the need to enhance the level of coordinated development of multiple types of new energy. It also emphasized the optimization of the electricity supply structure and energy storage ratio of the "Shahe Desert" new energy base. It called for the construction of adjustable power sources such as solar thermal power generation according to local conditions, the rational control of the installed capacity demand for coal power in new bases, and the encouragement of methods such as molten salt thermal storage for peak shaving and on-site green ammonia co-firing to improve the deep level of synergy between new energy and coal power, and increase the proportion of green electricity in the base. The guidance also supports fully utilizing the support and adjustment functions of solar-thermal power generation, pumped storage energy, and new types of energy in areas with conditions, and exploring the creation of 100% new energy bases. It emphasizes harnessing the large inertia, rapid start/stop, and precise adjustment characteristics of hydropower and actively promoting the integrated development of water, wind, and solar energy in major river basins. It advocates the exploration of new water-wind-solar integrated bases driven by adjustable power sources such as pumped storage energy and new energy storage, to promote large-scale high-quality development of surrounding wind and solar resources. Taking into account regional resource endowments and system adjustment support needs, the guidance also promotes the coordinated development of centralized new energy projects such as wind, solar, and gas storage within the province.
