China Three Gorges Corporation: From the Yangtze River to the sea, vigorously build the "New Three Gorges at Sea"



In June 2021, Three Gorges Energy, a subsidiary of China Three Gorges Corporation, landed on A-shares and raised 22.7 billion yuan, making it the largest IPO in the history of the A-share power industry. According to the prospectus, the raised funds will be mainly invested in the new energy field represented by offshore wind power. .

Lei Mingshan, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Three Gorges Corporation: Offshore wind power is estimated to be nearly 4 million kilowatts under construction this year. Now, on the basis of the 2 million kilowatt offshore wind power project in Yangjiang, Guangdong, which was completed and put into operation last year, we have started construction of another 3 million kilowatts. By 2024, Yangjiang, Guangdong will have built an offshore wind power base of 5 million kilowatts, which should be the largest contiguous scale in the world.



From January 1 this year, the electricity price subsidy policy for offshore wind power projects will be fully withdrawn, and the industry will also move from the past scale expansion to the development stage of improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Lei Mingshan, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group, Chairman of China Three Gorges Corporation: New offshore wind power projects are all unsubsidized. In fact, unsubsidized projects compete with thermal power on the same stage. The development of new energy must be economically feasible to be sustainable.



Reporter Zhang Weijie: When do you expect to achieve grid parity in electricity?



Lei Mingshan, Chairman and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of China Three Gorges Corporation: We feel that this is difficult now, but we will gradually digest it and focus on the goal of affordable Internet access. We are confident that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, offshore wind power will surely achieve the goal of grid parity.
