"The energy transition is a systems project, not achieved overnight. ”
On December 15, Zhong Baoshen, Chairman of LONGi Green Energy, said at the main forum of the "2023 Photovoltaic Industry Annual Conference" co-hosted by the China Photovoltaic Industry Association and Suqian City that the energy transition needs to be completed by all walks of life in the whole society, and finally make it a solution that is accepted by the society.
Two days ago, on December 13, Dubai time, more than 190 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, including China, reached an agreement. For the first time, the agreement includes the phrase "transitioning away from fossil fuels", calling on parties to achieve net-zero emissions as soon as possible.
However, for the energy transition, there are green energy alternatives, and these alternatives are globally affordable. Looking at the existing green energy sources, photovoltaics are currently one of the main alternatives.
In the past decade, photovoltaic technology has advanced and cost reduction beyond imagination, and has developed into the most economical power source in most countries and regions around the world, providing strong support for the global energy transition. Thus, the agreement reached by more than 190 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has the basis for realization.
But at the same time, the energy transition is a systematic project, which is not achieved overnight, and it also faces some problems in the process of development.
At present, we are only making adaptation arrangements in the original system, but in the future, we may need to make some adaptation and innovation to the whole system, and finally make some changes to the global energy system. Therefore, not only photovoltaic companies need to do the work, but also many participants, including the planning and design of the power grid, the design of systems and mechanisms, and other technical specialties, need to work together to promote this work. Zhong Baoshen said, "This requires all walks of life in the whole society, especially all walks of life involved in the energy system, to work together to complete, and finally make the power grid system self-consistent, and the integration of our social environment can be self-consistent." Only in this way can the energy transition finally become a socially acceptable option. ”
Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, driven by China's carbon peak, carbon neutrality goals and the explosive growth of the global photovoltaic market, photovoltaic power generation has entered a stage of large-scale, market-oriented and high-quality development.
High-quality development is the last word in the new era. Zhong Baoshen said that high-quality development is customer satisfaction and business success. These two aspects need to be solved through innovation-driven, and we must continuously invest in business models and technology research and development around customer-centricity to win customer satisfaction. Of course, the success of business is not only the success of the enterprise itself, but also the participation of all industry participants, including customers, leading businesses, etc., must have a benign ecology of business success, which is the expression of high-quality development. In addition, it is necessary to make profitable investments.
