New energy transmission replaces energy storage

How is China transforming traditional energy industries into integrated energy systems?

China has been transforming traditional energy industries into integrated energy systems. It has taken steps to implement wind-solar-hydro (plus storage) and wind-solar-coal (plus storage) hybrid systems in resource-rich areas.

What is the relationship between traditional energy and new energy?

Traditional energy and new energy constitute a relationship of complementarity and substitution. While making great efforts to boost the development of new energy, China also fully utilizes the supporting and safeguarding role of traditional energy so that new energy and traditional energy can work in synergy.

Where have new energy power generation projects been built?

New energy power generation projects have been built in places such as coal mine industrial sites, coal mining subsidence areas, idle spaces at power plants, and oil and gas mining areas.

Why is China moving faster to build a new energy supply system?

III. Moving Faster to Build a New Energy Supply System China is committed to striking a balance between traditional and new energy sources in order to facilitate its energy transition while ensuring a stable energy supply tailored to the country's national conditions and development stage.

Why do we need a transmission network?

A vast system of cables, transformers, substations, switches and communications equipment, this network keeps our energy system in constant balance. Thanks to our transmission network, when demand for electricity spikes, we can fire up far-flung power plants, letting huge regions rely on a shared electric grid.

What happens if we don't grow our transmission network?

Without a plan to swiftly grow our transmission network, the transition to clean energy will be harder and more expensive. Whatever electricity we don’t supply with long-distance transmission, we will have to generate locally.
