Where is China Electric Valley? Why is it called China Electric Valley?

After Zhongguancun "Silicon Valley" and Wuhan "Optical Valley", Baoding "China Electric Valley" provides people with the latest imagination space about the new economy. The following question is, Baoding, can you do it?

Baoding in my impression is the place where Jing Ke lamented generously before stabbing Qin, where the governor of Zhili was all-powerful and the hero of Baiyangdian fought against the devils. Today, the reeds in Baiyangdian are still there, but the reputation of Baoding House is nowhere to be found. It seems that only when the train stops for the first time after leaving Beijing will the people of the whole country hear that familiar and vicissitudes name. As a pawn in the strategic chess game of heavy industry in Hebei Province, 10 billion people's livelihood "burden", can Baoding bear the weight of "China Electric Valley"?

The outside question is not completely unreasonable, but it ignores the other side of Baoding:

First of all, Baoding High-tech Zone is the only national new energy and energy equipment industrial base in China. In the photovoltaic industry, Tianwei Yingli Energy Co., Ltd. is one of only four companies in the world, and it is also the only polysilicon solar photovoltaic product manufacturer with a complete industrial chain in China. In terms of wind power, AVIC Phaeton Company is the largest enterprise in China, and it is also the only enterprise in China to realize mass production of domestic blades, and wind power blades account for 47% of the domestic market share; In terms of power transmission and transformation equipment, Tianwei Group is the largest power transmission and transformation manufacturing base in China, with complete independent intellectual property rights and complete industrial chain, and its transformer output ranks first in the world for three consecutive years. In the energy storage equipment industry, Feng Fan Group, known as "a good horse with a good saddle and a good car with a good sail", is the core enterprise with the largest scale, the strongest technical strength and the highest market share in the lead-acid battery industry in China. More than 70% of the mid-to high-end cars produced in China are equipped with Sail batteries.

Secondly, Baoding has Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway running through the north and south, and Huang Shen Railway and Baocang Expressway running through the east and west. The city center is only130km away from Beijing and150km away from Tianjin Port. After the completion of the Beijing-Zhengzhou Railway, it takes only 30 minutes from Baoding to Beijing. The local production cost is obviously lower than that of Beijing and Tianjin, which is an investment depression.

Finally, Baoding has North China Electric Power University, the highest institution in China's electric power industry, as well as universities such as Hebei University and Hebei Agricultural University. A large number of well-known experts and scholars and 6.5438+0.5 million college students gathered here.

All of the above, combined with the huge potential of new energy in today's society, make Yu Qun of Baoding have enough confidence to claim that the construction of "China Electric Valley" in Baoding is "the right time, the right place and the right people"-"China Electric Valley". Who else?

Let "sunshine" illuminate Baoding and let "sunshine" warm Baoding.

Without the accumulation of every small step, a person can't walk a thousand miles. Behind the high-profile announcement is the actual action of Baoding people.

In March this year, careful Baoding citizens found that solar panels were installed on the original poles of traffic lights at multiple intersections of Qiyi Road. According to the information provided by the municipal public security traffic police detachment, at present, more than 20% of the intersections in the city have completed the transformation of solar signal lights. According to the plan of the municipal government, by the end of September 2008, the solar energy application and transformation of traffic lights at main intersections, branches and peripheral roads in urban areas will be completed. Li Bojiang, director of the Economic Construction Department of Baoding Finance Bureau, said: "If a new road needs a signal light, just put a shelf on it, and the procedures of wiring, overhaul and maintenance can be omitted."

Changing the packaging of traffic lights is just a piece of cake for Baoding to build a solar energy application demonstration city. The city's plan is to basically realize the comprehensive application of solar energy in all fields of production and life in the city in three years, including the promotion of photovoltaic application systems, lighting in the construction field and hot water supply and heating. By then, "Let the sunshine illuminate Baoding and let the sunshine warm Baoding" will become a portrayal of the local reality.

Making every effort to create the image of "solar city" will not only make the concept of new energy application deeply rooted in people's hearts, but also create momentum for the local new energy industry. Only with a solid industrial foundation can "China Electric Valley" change from self-positioning to Baoding's city business card.

In fact, Baoding had paid attention to and supported the new energy industry long before the proposal of "China Power Valley". At that time, it was the preparatory stage of the first phase of Tianwei Yingli project, and the shortage of funds almost made this potential enterprise "difficult to produce". At the critical moment, Baoding allocated 20 million yuan, which was mainly used for the project research and development of enterprises and the import of some materials and equipment to help enterprises tide over the crisis smoothly. Wang Xiangdong, vice president of Tianwei Yingli, said: "Without the 20 million at that time, there would be no 2 billion later enterprises. The timely intervention of the government showed extraordinary foresight." When talking about the current formulation of "China Electric Valley", Wang Xiangdong said: "China Electric Valley provides a brand-new platform for Baoding to integrate various resources such as capital, talents and industry, which is conducive to improving Baoding's social awareness and promoting the differentiated development of regional economy, which will eventually have an important impact on the local industry cake and expanding employment."

A variety of algorithms for an account

Baoding has always maintained a cautious optimism about becoming a bigger and stronger industry.

Be cautious because there is still a lot of room for improvement in technology. According to Wang Xiangdong, at present, 90% of high-purity silicon, the manufacturing material of photovoltaic products, needs to be imported, and the localization rate of manufacturing equipment is less than 10%. With the cost of photovoltaic products approaching the cost of old energy products step by step, market competition will largely focus on technical competition.

Optimism is because the world's new energy industry is developing at a rate of more than 30%. Some scientists predict that by 20 10, the world photovoltaic industry will reach 10000 MW, and in 2050, solar energy will replace more than 50% of the world's conventional energy. However, the development ratio of wind energy in China at present is less than 1%.

According to Li Bojiang, the main reason that hinders the further expansion of the new energy product market is cost. Compared with traditional energy sources such as coal, oil, electricity and gas, the one-time input cost of solar energy products is much higher, but it is very economical in a certain time span. The staff of the relevant departments of the Finance Bureau calculated an account for the reporter: each square meter of solar collector can output an average of 400 kilocalories per year, which is equivalent to 5 17 kWh of electricity. If a household installs a 2-square-meter solar collector, it can save electricity 1034 kwh every year, saving electricity about 537 yuan. According to the current price of 1.6 million yuan, it is only equivalent to three years' electricity bill, and the general service life of solar water heating system is more than 1.5 years.

"Not only economic accounts, but also quality of life accounts, environmental protection accounts and energy saving accounts, long-term accounts rather than immediate accounts, big accounts rather than small accounts," said Yu Qunqun of Baoding City.

Clear accounting is the first step. Baoding's goal is: to start the first phase construction of "China Power Valley" in five years, and to develop and build 65,438+03 square kilometers by 2065,438+00, with an annual sales income of more than 50 billion yuan; The second phase of the project was carried out from 20 10 to 20 15, lasting about 10, forming a world-class new electric energy industrial base with an area of 25 square kilometers and an output value exceeding10 billion yuan.
