How wind power heating can move toward marketization
Recently, the National Energy Administration issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Wind Power Grid Connection and Consumption for 2015," pointing out that demonstration work such as clean wind power heating carried out in recent years in provinces like Jilin, Inner Mongolia, and Hebei has achieved good results. However, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze the current status of wind power grid connection operation and heating demand in the region. In areas with suitable conditions, combined with new city construction and new urban area development plans, measures should be adapted to local conditions to further improve systems and mechanisms, actively promote the application of clean wind power heating technology, and focus on solving the consumption needs of existing wind power projects in surrounding areas.
It is estimated that in 2015, the scale of commissioned wind power in North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China (collectively referred to as the "Three Norths" region) will increase significantly, and the situation regarding wind power consumption will remain very severe. Industry insiders told reporters that as an effective form of local consumption, wind power heating pilots have achieved positive results since their inception, but further promotion requires overcoming inherent challenges. "Wind power heating is still merely a demonstration project, and in some places is even viewed as a livelihood project; its economic viability must be improved, and marketization and commercialization are the direction."
