China Southern Power Grid verfügt über eine Energiespeicherkapazität von 55 Millionen Kilowatt

Adquirir los activos de distribución de Enel en Perú ayudaría a impulsar la presencia de China Southern Power en América Latina después de que compró una participación del 28% en la empresa de servicios públicos chilena Transelec SA a Brookfield Infrastructure Partners por alrededor de US$1.300 millones en 2018.

What is China Southern power grid?

China Southern Power Grid (“Southern Grid”) is one of China’s two major state-owned power distributors that serve five southern provinces: Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan. The region has witnessed a rapid build-up of power generation capacity, from 275 GW in 2015 to 350 GW in 2020.

Can China decarbonize the southern power grid by 2060?

Decarbonization of the Southern Power Grid in China is feasible by 2060 but requires converting a large cropland area to support solar and wind energy; expansion of hydropower will impact the transboundary rivers according to a power system optimization model set up for 2020–2060.

Which river basins feed the China Southern power grid (CSPG)?

b The map illustrates the river basins whose hydropower dams feed the China Southern Power Grid (CSPG). These basins are the Mekong, Nujiang, and Red (transboundary) and the Yangtze, Pearl, Qionglei and Southeast Guangxi Coastal river basins (QSGCRB). All riparian countries in which the transboundary basins ow are shown on the map.

How does Guangxi get its power?

In Guangxi, all the wind and solar power is taken by the grid through guaranteed purchases but its hydropower stations are getting access to the grid through a “generation rights trading” mechanism, where they buy their generation quota from other power plants, mostly coal-fired ones.

How to simulate the long-term development of the CSPG's electricity system?

To simulate the long-term development of the CSPG’s electricity system, we used an open-source power system modeling platform (GridPath) 26, 53.

Which generation capacities are available in China?

Existing generation capacities—mostly consisting of hydropower and coal, with a small share of gas, nuclear, biomass, PSH, wind, and solar—were retrieved from the China Electricity Council 57 and PEC of each province in the CSPG. We consider candidate capacities for coal, gas, biomass, nuclear, and PSH that have existing installed capacities.
