The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration recently issued a document stating that China will promote the direct connection of multi-user green electricity and promote the local consumption and utilization of new energy.

Multi user green power direct connection refers to the supply of green power to multiple users through dedicated lines and substations, rather than directly connecting new energy sources such as wind and solar power to the public grid. Simply put, a new energy source can provide power to multiple users nearby. Among them, users refer to legal entities, excluding residents and agricultural users.

At present, the total installed capacity of new energy in China has reached 1.9 billion kilowatts, and according to the new round of independent contribution targets, it will reach 3.6 billion kilowatts by 2035. With the rapid growth of installed capacity of new energy power generation, there is an urgent need for innovation in the way new energy is consumed, in order to expand the space for new energy development and utilization.

For which users can multi-user green power direct connection be carried out? The document issued this time clearly states that new loads can carry out multi-user green power direct connection. In the inventory load, single user green power direct connection projects can be expanded to multi-user green power direct connection projects; Users who have a demand for green electricity consumption can carry out multi-user green electricity direct connection; All or part of the loads in industrial parks, zero carbon parks, etc. can be directly connected to multi-user green electricity.
