In the green transformation journey of the five major power generation groups, the State Power Investment Group Co., Ltd. continues to lead, and is far ahead of the same type of energy central enterprises. On November 30, the first phase of the full-capacity grid-connected and concentrated production ceremony of the first phase of the Guangdong East and West Guangdong Offshore Wind Power of State Power Investment Corporation was held in Guangdong. Among them, the full-capacity grid-connection of a 315 MW offshore wind power project in Shenquan, Jieyang, Guangdong, marked that the installed capacity of SPIC’s clean energy exceeded 60%.

State Power Investment Corporation was established in July 2015 by the reorganization of the original China Power Investment Corporation and the State Nuclear Power Technology Co., Ltd. According to news reports, as of now, the total installed capacity of SPIC has exceeded 190 million kilowatts. Among them, the installed scale of photovoltaic power generation exceeds 38 million kilowatts, the installed scale of new energy power generation exceeds 75 million kilowatts, and the installed scale of renewable energy power generation exceeds 100 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world.

When it was reorganized in 2015, the group’s installed capacity for clean energy accounted for less than 40%. Since then, its green power assets have continued to expand: clean energy installed capacity accounted for 43.30% in 2016 and 45.23% in 2017. In the past five years, the group has invested a total of about 430.5 billion yuan to promote the proportion of clean energy installed capacity to reach 49.20% in 2018 and 50.58% in 2019, becoming the first central energy enterprise of the same type to account for more than 50% of clean energy installed capacity. For enterprises, it will reach 56.09% at the end of 2020 and has exceeded 60% so far. The proportion of clean energy installed capacity has rapidly increased by 16.8% in five years, which has laid a solid foundation for SPIC to achieve the goal of peaking domestic carbon in 2023.

According to news observations, compared with peers, SPIC’s clean energy development is characterized by the combined efforts of wind and solar power, especially the continuous expansion of photovoltaic and wind power. According to the industry’s consistent division method, the five power generation groups formed by the splitting of the power generation assets of the original State Power Corporation during the power reform in 2002 are collectively referred to as the five major power generation groups. According to the statistics of the energy industry media “Visible”, as of the end of 2020, among the “Top Five Power Generation” (including the subsequent reorganization of central enterprises), SPIC, Huadian Group, Datang Group, Huaneng Group, and National Energy Group accounted for the proportion of clean energy installed capacity They were 56.09%, 43.4%, 38.20%, 36.5%, and 26.59%, respectively, which increased by 5.59, 3, 5.69, 2.5, and 1.69 percentage points respectively.
