Liaoning province in northeastern China targets to boost wind and photovoltaic power installed capacity to over 37 GW by the end of the 14th five-year Plan period (2021-25), to support the leapfrog development of its new energy sector, according to the province's energy development plan published on July 14.
Key wind power projects in the period include 1.5 GW of phase I extension project, 3.3 GW of phase II northwest Liaoning and equivalent capacity replacement projects and about 13.6 GW of phase III project.
Major photovoltaic projects consist of 1.9 GW of phase I extension project, 1.5 GW of phase II project in mining areas of resource-depleting urbans and about 2.6 GW of phase III project.
Liaoning, one of the three heavy-industry provinces in northeast China, will rationally plan offshore wind resources and accelerate the construction of onshore wind power, especially in western regions with better wind conditions.
The abandoned lands will be used to install photovoltaic power projects, such as subsidence areas due to coal mining and old industrial areas after relocation. The qualified areas are encouraged to develop distributed photovoltaic power generation at rooftops and courtyards.
