East China’s Jiangsu province is planning to build two clean energy bases with 10 GW generating capacity each by the end of 2027, to further promote the province’s green and lowcarbon development.
By 2027, the installed capacity of offshore wind (OSW) and offshore photovoltaic in Jiangsu’s coastal areas is expected to increase by over 10 GW respectively. To support this, State Grid Corporation of China’s subsidiary, State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company, will carry out a comprehensive application of power system technologies such as alternating current and direct current transmission network, and new energy storage, to deliver clean energy in the northern and southern regions of Jiangsu. The company will also accelerate the transformation and upgrading of Jiangsu’s backbone grids by promoting the construction of 500 kV coastal transmission channels. Separately, the company will accelerate the digital transformation of power grids and further promote the aggregation and regulation of new energy, power load, and energy storage through collaborative operation and hierarchical control of the main power and distribution network, and micro-grids.
