I. What is the background and significance of conducting a resource census?
A: Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized when presiding over the twelfth collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee that greater efforts should be made to promote the high-quality development of China's new energy sources, provide safe and reliable energy security for Chinese-style modernization, and make greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world. Carry out wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources census, find out the bottom of the wind and light resources, is China's wind power, photovoltaic power generation, mainly new energy industry planning and major projects layout of the basic support, is to promote wind power and photovoltaic power generation to achieve a large-scale, high proportion, market-oriented, high-quality development of the basic conditions. In order to guarantee China's energy security and help realize carbon peak and carbon neutrality, it is urgent to carry out a wind power and photovoltaic power generation resource census.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", China's wind power and photovoltaic power generation installed capacity has increased by more than 100 million kilowatts per year on average, realizing the rapid growth of leapfrog type. As of the end of December 2023, China's wind power and photovoltaic power generation installed capacity reached 440 million kilowatts and 610 million kilowatts, accounting for the total installed capacity of the national power supply 36%, but compared with the requirements of the "dual-carbon" goal, the development of the task is still very arduous, and must be coordinated with the wind, land, power grids and other related elements of the security, it is urgent to carry out a resource census to find out China's wind power and photovoltaic power generation. Urgently need to carry out a resource census to find out China's wind power and photovoltaic power generation and other new energy resources.
At present, with the third national land survey, national land spatial planning, the delineation of the red line for ecological protection, the basic base of forestry and grassland and other elements having been basically determined, the relevant land policies and other management regulations having been relatively clear, and the application of the latest and most advanced technologies, such as remote sensing, meteorology and big data, there are also working foundations and conditions for carrying out a resource census.
Second, why in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tibet, Qinghai and other six provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) first pilot?
A: It is important and necessary to carry out a nationwide census of wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources, but since the national census still lacks mature experience, it is considered that a pilot census should be carried out in some areas first, and then be extended to the whole country after accumulating experience.
Considering China's vast territory, diverse climate and terrain, comprehensive resource census varieties, according to the object of comprehensive coverage, with regional typicality, a good foundation for the census and other principles, to determine the Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tibet, Qinghai and other six provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) as a pilot region. 6 pilot regions have a certain amount of resource census work based on resource varieties that can be covered by the onshore wind power, The six pilot areas have a certain foundation of resource census work, and in terms of resource varieties, they can cover onshore wind power, onshore photovoltaic power generation, rooftop distributed, offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaic power generation, photothermal power generation, ocean energy, etc.; in terms of regional topography, they cover North China, Northwest China, Southwest China, South China, etc., and their terrain characteristics cover plains, plateaus, mountains, etc.; in terms of resource development, they cover Shagoe Wilderness base-type large-scale development, near-sea and deep-sea development, water-wind-sunlight complementary development and decentralized distribution development.
III. What are the main elements of the pilot census?
A: This census is positioned as a full-caliber wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources survey in the pilot area, and the census targets include all wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources in the pilot area, including onshore and offshore. Considering the great potential of rooftop distributed PV, which is also an important area for the development of PV power generation, this time it will also be included in the scope of the census. In addition, in areas with the conditions, it is proposed to carry out a survey of solar photovoltaic power generation and ocean energy resources together. The main content of the census:

IV. How will the pilot census be conducted?
A: The main measures to ensure the smooth implementation of the pilot work are the establishment of a working mechanism, the harmonization of technical standards, the building of a working platform and the construction of a working network.
First, the central and local authorities have established separate working mechanisms to make full use of the existing results. A pilot working group has been set up at the national level, responsible for coordinating the formulation of work programmes, technical standard guidelines and the construction of work platforms, coordinating the resolution of major issues and summarizing the effectiveness of the pilot. Each pilot region, in the light of its actual situation, has set up a sound working mechanism, utilizing the existing observational data base, and doing a good job in policy coordination, data integration and financial security.
Secondly, the State has organized the formulation of uniform technical standards. At the national level, unified technical standards are formed during the pilot preparation stage, and standardized assessment methods, construction standards, data processing and so on are designed to ensure the technical standardization and consistency of the census work. At the same time, it is necessary to form a list of standards based on pilot applications and feedback, and to formulate (revise) relevant technical standards in a timely manner.
Thirdly, the State is organizing the construction of a working platform. At the national level, taking into account the basic data, technical standards, policy requirements and census workflow, a unified work platform was built using intelligent and information technology to support the formation of census results such as the developable quantity and spatial distribution of various types of census objects. Pilot regions will carry out their work on the basis of the working platform and make timely proposals for revision and improvement.
Fourth, each province has organized the construction of observation networks. Each pilot area gives priority to the use of meteorological station observation data, meet the relevant requirements of the wind power station wind measurement and light measurement data, and in accordance with the principle of full coverage of the development area, full coverage of observation elements, according to the need to carry out the standardization of observation station construction, the formation of a regional resource observation network covering each pilot area. Relying on the working platform, each pilot region will take the county as a unit, and form onshore (offshore) wind power and terrestrial (offshore, rooftop) photovoltaic and other resource census reports, high-precision wind and light resource mapping, database of developable capacity, summary of work experience and other census results.
V. What are the arrangements for follow-up?
A: The census involves many varieties of resources, a wide range of elements and complex technical routes, and in the course of the pilot work, it will be carefully organized and implemented, do a good job of tracking the whole process, strengthen research and work guidance, and coordinate the resolution of major issues in a timely manner, so as to ensure that the pilot work is completed with high quality.
Through carrying out the pilot census, exploring the inter-ministerial linkage and central-local synergy working mechanism, coordinating and resolving major issues, promoting cross-industry data sharing and integration of results, improving the standard system for the census of new energy power generation resources, actively exploring diversified funding modes, guaranteeing that the tasks of the pilot census will be completed with high quality, and forming a replicable, generalizable and implementable census experience, so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent nationwide census of wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources. This will lay a solid foundation for the subsequent comprehensive nationwide census of wind power and photovoltaic power generation resources.
