Calculate UHV account the people's power inverter livelihood

National People's Congress, Yinzheng Min, general manager of the Hubei Electric Power Company, UHV relationship with the people's livelihood and other related issues, answered Xinhua reporters' questions.

Reporter: Did UHV, some people feel like a lofty, unattainable, how do you think?

Yinzheng Min: In fact, the UHV around us, to our production, especially the production life of Hubei brought tangible. Hubei province, one of the first to taste the sweetness of UHV grid. Southeastern Shanxi - Nanyang - Jingmen UHV AC project Unicom North China Power Grid and Central China Power Grid to provide reliable power inverter  protection development Hubei, Hubei Province new Northern thermal power inverter of about 300 million kilowatts, annual savings Hubei coal more than 700 million tons, equivalent to the the Hubei Support a Gezhouba power inverter.

Reporter: UHV, Hubei energy status quo is what the status quo?

Yinzheng Min: In recent years, rapid Hubei economic and social development, the current energy status quo and development is faced with severe challenges in Hubei.

From the energy supply situation, Hubei energy resources are very scarce. Primary energy foundation reserves total 53.6 million tonnes of coal, about 2% of the national total.

Conventional energy resources, facing a shortage of coal, oil, lack of gas, water best "situation. 1.43 billion tons of coal reserves, the total amount is less than 1% of the country; oil reserves of 130 million tons, accounting for 0.8% of the national reserves; 9.87 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves, less than 0.06% of the national reserves; power converter  resources, despite the rich, the economy can be developed 37.8 million kilowatts, ranking first in the country four, but the basic completion of the development, and the fat power converter outgoing, to remain a small share of consumption in the province; other resources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass resources difficult to develop, economic exploitation amount rarely, in the energy mix is ​​hard of great responsibility. Hubei Energy Situation energy supply and must rely on a lot of input from other provinces energy.

Currently, Hubei Province, outside the area of ​​energy input to the North coal south, West-East, East oil Sujiang "dependence on foreign coal, oil, natural gas in more than 90%, of which the vast majority of coal by rail from the northern transferred, coal supply outside the area of ​​coal production and double rail capacity constraints, resulting in Hubei seasonal and periods of power converter shortage problem is very prominent, actually, only 21.9% of the energy self-sufficiency rate in Hubei. 

With the Hubei comprehensive accelerate the pace of industrialization, urbanization, solar inverters  the province's energy demand will remain long rigid growth is expected in 2015, Hubei Province, the total energy consumption will reach 210 million tons of coal, energy self-sufficiency rate dropped to 17% . Expected 2020, Hubei Province's total energy consumption will reach 270 million tons of standard coal, energy self-sufficiency rate dropped to 14%,solar inverters the contradiction between economic development and energy constraints will become more prominent.
