With the acceleration of the low-carbon transformation process of the power system and the increasing proportion of intermittent renewable energy, nuclear power, as the base load power source of the low-carbon energy system, can support the power grid to absorb a large proportion of non-aqueous renewable energy and ensure the safety and stability of the power grid< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > in 2021, when coal prices soared and power shortages frequently occurred in many places, the cumulative power generation of nuclear power units in operation nationwide was 407.141 billion kwh, an increase of 11.17% over the same period in 2020. Last autumn, after the power shortage occurred in Northeast China due to the shortage of coal, the reduction of hydropower and the new energy power generation not as expected, five units of Liaoning Hongyanhe Nuclear power plant continuously generated power at full power, which played a “ballast” role in stabilizing the power supply. Nuclear power accounts for 2% of China’s installed power capacity and supplies 5% of the country’s power generation< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > “we should base ourselves on China’s national conditions, respond to the new challenges of the external environment, grasp the key points, strengthen energy supply, take precautions to promote the commencement of energy projects with mature conditions and development needs, and promote the continuous optimization of the energy structure. This can also expand effective investment and promote employment, which is beneficial to the present and the long term.” In mid April, the national Standing Committee approved six units at one time. There is another important consideration. As a huge and complex system engineering, nuclear power projects have a large one-time investment, a long industrial chain and a long construction cycle. During the construction process, a large number of mechanical and electrical equipment and architectural, construction and installation and design technical services are required, which can directly and indirectly stimulate a considerable number of industries. A million kilowatt nuclear power unit can provide nearly 10000 jobs and contribute hundreds of billions of yuan to the industrial chain throughout its life cycle, which is conducive to expanding effective investment< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > according to rough estimation, the total investment of six new units in Zhejiang Sanmen, Shandong Haiyang and Guangdong Lufeng is expected to exceed 110 billion yuan< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > according to incomplete news statistics, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Shandong and other provinces have included large-scale nuclear power projects in the local “14th five year plan”< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > in Guangdong, where Lufeng nuclear power project is located, the 14th five year plan for energy development of Guangdong Province proposes to efficiently build Huizhou taipingling nuclear power phase I project on the premise of ensuring safety, actively and orderly promote the commencement of Lufeng nuclear power project, Lianjiang nuclear power project and other projects, and promote the preliminary work of subsequent projects; Protect the nuclear power plant site. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the new installed capacity of nuclear power was about 2.4 million kilowatts< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > as a province with large energy consumption and small resources, Guangdong’s dependence on foreign energy supply will reach 74% in 2020. According to the document, the energy demand of Guangdong Province will continue to grow rapidly during the “14th five year plan” period, and the seasonal and seasonal energy supply tension existing during the “13th five year plan” period will continue or even intensify, and the pressure to ensure the balance of energy supply and demand will increase. At the same time, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the energy system, the structure is becoming increasingly complex, and the operational safety risk is prominent.

In addition to the two demonstration projects of Fuqing and Fangchenggang, the follow-up units adopt the “hualong-1” fusion technology< Br > < div class = "contheight" > < / div > in August this year, the National Energy Administration re mobilized and re arranged the power supply guarantee in the next phase of the summer peak, and planned in advance the power supply guarantee measures in the middle and later stages of the 14th five year plan. The meeting demanded that the mid-term evaluation and adjustment of the 14th five year plan power plan should be done well in accordance with the principle of “moderately ahead”, so as to ensure the balance of power supply and demand in the whole country and key regions at the end of the 14th five year plan. Its specific measures include urging and urging the approval, commencement, construction and operation of supporting power sources province by province, accelerating the development of wind power, photovoltaic and other new energy sources, promoting the commencement of hydropower projects in the upper and middle reaches of the Jinsha River, the upper reaches of the Lancang River and the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and promoting the approval and commencement of nuclear power projects and trans provincial transmission channel projects with sufficient preliminary work as soon as possible.
