On June 24, Conch Cement Pingliang Phase II 50000 kW Wind Power Project started in Guyuan Base of Jiuquan New Energy Company.
According to the Financial Media Center of Kongtong District, Pingliang City, Gansu Province, Pingliang Hailuoxiamen Wind Power Phase II 50000 kW Project is the second batch of key wind and photovoltaic construction projects in Kongtong District, with a total estimated investment of 557 million yuan and a total installed capacity of 100 MW. While broadening the channels for increasing the income of village collective economy, it can make great contributions to the implementation of the "double carbon" goal in the whole region. Liu Qiang, director
of Pingliang Conch New Energy Engineering Department, said : The project will be implemented in two phases, with an investment of 297 million yuan in the first phase and the installation of 10 5 MW wind turbines; The second phase will invest 260 million yuan, install eight 5.6 MW wind turbines and one 5.2 MW wind turbine, and build a set of booster stations, transmission lines and energy storage devices.
It is understood that in recent years, Conch Cement has actively explored the layout of new energy industry, on the one hand, to meet the power demand of cement production in subordinate factories and achieve low-carbon green development, on the other hand, it is also difficult for the company to break through the main cement industry, and it is urgent to seek new industrial breakthroughs. In August
2021, Conch Cement acquired 100% equity of Conch New Energy held by Conch Investment Company at a transaction price of 443 million yuan, and Conch Cement took substantial steps in the layout of new energy. From October to December
2021, Conch New Energy independently invested in the establishment of 15 new energy companies, adding 19 photovoltaic power stations and 3 energy storage power stations, with an installed capacity of 200 MW.
In 2022 , the development progress of Conch New Energy business was accelerated, and the registered capital of Conch New Energy increased from 500 million yuan to 5 billion yuan. During the year, Conch New Energy independently invested in the establishment of 53 new energy companies, and the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 475 MW at the end of the year.
In 2023 , Conch will further accelerate the integrated development of wind, solar and water storage in the new energy industry, actively extend to the upstream industry, and steadily lay out photovoltaic glass, modules and other photovoltaic midstream areas. By the end of 2023, the installed capacity of Conch Cement in operation was 542 MW, and the annual photovoltaic power generation was about 429 million kWh.
In the future, Conch Cement will continue to increase the use of clean energy such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, reduce fossil energy consumption, continuously optimize the energy structure, and practice the concept of green and low-carbon development.
