On November 27, the 37th National Wind Energy Equipment Industry Annual Conference and Industrial Development Summit Forum, hosted by the Wind Energy Equipment Branch of the China Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, was held in Chongqing. Representatives from across the wind power industry chain gathered to discuss high-quality development strategies under the framework of the 15th Five-Year Plan. Chen Qiuhua, Vice President of Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd., was invited to share insights on the "integrated and synergistic development" of new energy.
Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's electricity demand has continued to accelerate, with consumption surpassing the trillion-kilowatt-hour mark for consecutive months in July and August this year, setting new historical records. According to forecasts by the China Electricity Council, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, annual electricity consumption is expected to grow by 4.6% to 5.4%, further highlighting electricity's pivotal role in socio-economic development.
Data from the National Energy Administration shows that by the end of Q3 this year, China's total installed capacity for wind and solar power exceeded 1.7 billion kilowatts, generating 1.73 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, accounting for 22% of total electricity consumption. As new energy transitions into a primary power source, challenges such as grid stability and market-oriented reforms have emerged, making "integrated and synergistic development" a critical solution.
In response, Goldwind is actively driving the transformation of the new energy sector from "scale expansion" to "quality and efficiency optimization," focusing on five key areas to enhance value: 1. **From LCOE to LCOV**: Shifting the decision-making benchmark from "levelized cost of energy" to "levelized cost of value," leveraging differentiated advantages across the extended wind power value chain. 2. **From Grid-Following to Grid-Forming**: Advancing new energy as a more reliable power source. Goldwind has successfully deployed grid-forming turbines and integrated wind-storage systems, providing robust tools for grid resilience. 3. **From Chasing Wind to Chasing Price**: Transitioning turbines from "generating when windy" to "generating strategically." Goldwind's newly launched "trading-enabled turbines" use smart controls to maximize output during high-price periods and extend lifespan during low-price intervals. 4. **From Single to Diversified**: Creating multi-energy scenarios through "wind power+" models to address curtailment issues and drive low-carbon industrial transformation. 5. **From Maintenance to Operation**: Evolving from an equipment supplier to an energy asset manager. Goldwind offers full lifecycle asset management services, utilizing its "Goldwind Sky Cloud Platform" for precise power forecasting and optimized trading strategies, sharing risks and value with clients.
The 15th Five-Year Plan period is crucial for China to build a new energy system and achieve carbon peaking, marking a transformative phase from "scale" to "value" for new energy. Goldwind remains committed to "integrated and synergistic development," collaborating across sectors to contribute to an energy industry "joint fleet" and broader "value community."
