June 7, the World Bank released its latest research results, “China’s large-scale offshore wind and onshore wind power base in the challenge: Implementation Guide”, which suggestions for offshore wind power development in China specialized in supporting laws and regulations promulgated to meet the Chinese Future offshore wind power development.
In addition, the report believes that China’s construction of offshore wind power is essential, and recommended that the intertidal zone in China for wind power generator development pilot.
In recent years, China’s achievements in the development of wind power significantly more than expected and planned targets, by 2009, China ranked third in the world wind power installed capacity, while the speed of market growth is expected to rank first in the world in the next few years 1.
Bureau of Energy Director of the World Bank of China Li Zhuo Shi said: “China has achieved remarkable success, to expand the scale of the strategy is correct.”
However, the rapid development of wind power, more room for development of future offshore wind power are facing many of the potential problems.
Report, have developed or are developing for offshore wind generators countries, their development of laws and regulations in many have flaws, these problems is particularly evident in the project approvals, as many cases, existing laws and regulations is Zhendui as oil, gas or shipping requirements, these laws are used offshore wind power development activities on the approval, would seriously hinder the development of offshore wind power, and to examination and approval procedures are very complicated, and with uncertainty, thereby increasing the project cost , resulting in time delays and wind turbines ultimately increase the risk of failure.
China in the development of offshore wind power will be faced with such laws and regulations during the defects, the report that the Chinese government should establish an appropriate set of laws and regulations, dedicated to offshore wind power development.
According to the experience of other countries, laws and regulations, volatility, complexity, and excessive restraint, will result in harm to the confidence of investors; as in the Netherlands, to encourage wavering policies, has become the country’s wind power market development, a major problem.
The other essential for offshore wind power online, the report that should be considered approved the construction of demonstration projects to provide free Internet access, and new specialized agency responsible for construction of offshore wind power, or expansion of existing business network, offshore wind power is responsible for the Internet.
In addition, because the inter-tidal wind farm development costs may be lower than in the deep waters offshore wind power, reported that China wants to become a pioneer in the need for learning and innovation in practice, starting the relevant experiments, and demonstration projects have put fully estimated.
At present, the Chinese Government plans to wind power resources in the domestic land-based wind power-rich areas to expand the scale of the intertidal zone of wind power to carry out pilot projects, and start in deep water areas offshore wind farm development.
Bank of China issued suggestions specialized offshore wind power regulations
