Attach importance to new energy and technological innovation

Energy supply guarantees, offshore wind power, hydrogen energy, nuclear power, new energy storage, and marine economy were key areas for exchanges between Guangdong and energy central enterprises in the first quarter, which also reflects Guangdong's resource endowment, energy supply and demand situation and industrial development strategy overview.

Guangdong is relatively scarce in primary energy resources, and its external dependence on energy supply in 2020 will reach 74%. At the same time, high-quality economic and social development has driven Guangdong's electricity demand to continue to increase. Data from the Energy Bureau of Guangdong Province shows that in 2023, Guangdong's total social electricity consumption will reach 850.2 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 8.0%. It is the first province in the country to have electricity consumption exceeding 800 billion kilowatt-hours. It is estimated that in 2025, Guangdong's entire society's electricity consumption will reach approximately 880 billion kilowatt hours.

In this context, the development and utilization of new energy with greater efforts has become an important starting point for Guangdong to ensure energy security and promote energy transformation.

The Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee held on March 25 pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen overall planning, promote the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient new energy system, put the development of new energy in a more important position, vigorously develop offshore wind power, and actively develop safely and orderly develop nuclear power, accelerate the development and utilization of distributed photovoltaics, etc., and at the same time give full play to the role of traditional fossil energy to ensure the safety and stability of energy supply.

Developing new energy industries is also an important strategy for Guangdong to build a strong manufacturing province and promote the development of new quality productivity. The "Guangdong Province Action Plan for Cultivating New Energy Strategic Emerging Industrial Clusters (2023-2025)" issued on December 29, 2023 proposed that by 2025, the operating income of the province's new energy industry will exceed 1 trillion yuan and the added value will exceed 200 billion yuan; The installed power generation capacity of the new energy industry cluster is approximately 144.3 million kilowatts, the natural gas supply capacity exceeds 80 billion cubic meters, and the hydrogen supply capacity exceeds 100,000 tons.

Exxon and cooperation with ExxonMobil and BASF Group is another measure taken by Guangdong to promote the construction of a strong manufacturing province-accelerating the development of green petrochemical strategic pillar industry clusters.

Guangdong is one of China's important petrochemical bases. According to statistics, in 2022, there will be 9213 enterprises above designated size in Guangdong's petrochemical industry cluster, with an industrial added value of 424.9 billion yuan, accounting for about 10.7% of the added value of industries above designated size that year. At present, Guangdong has formed five major refining and chemical integrated bases, including Guangzhou, Huizhou Daya Bay, Zhanjiang East Island, Maoming, and Jieyang Dananhai, Zhuhai Gaolan Port Fine Chemical Base and several chemical parks.

The "Guangdong Province Action Plan for Developing Green Petrochemical Strategic Pillar Industry Clusters (2023-2025)" issued on December 29, 2023 proposes that by 2025, Guangdong will basically form a world-class green petrochemical industry cluster, enter the ranks of world-class green petrochemical industry clusters, and strive to exceed 2 trillion yuan and 480 billion yuan in industrial scale and industrial added value.

In addition to deepening cooperation in the energy field, investment, promotion of industrial scientific and technological innovation, and promotion of new productivity were high-frequency words in exchanges between Guangdong and enterprises in the first quarter. Huang Kunming, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, said at the Guangdong Provincial High-Quality Development Conference held on February 18,"Focusing on industrial science and technology to talk about innovation and seek the future is to continuously consolidate the foundation of the real economy and the manufacturing industry as the leader, and continue to promote high-quality development.". In 2024, Guangdong proposes a goal of GDP growth of 5%, total import and export growth of 1%, and industrial added value above designated size growth of 5%.
