Chapter 260 The oil industry that is about to go to dusk

.

State Solar Energy Company waited for the result they wanted: agreed that they would be responsible for the construction costs of the Hyundai Power Station, and the California company would not be considered a cooperative project.

In order to show China's sincerity, they also gave great help to their land expropriation in Hainan.

Hainan Province has prepared 20 square kilometers of mudflats and slopes for California Solar Energy Company in Lingshui County in the southern part of the country, which is not very conducive to development, for use as a solar power station.

(I correct the previous error here. Due to the confusing data, the citation errors were cited during calculations. The solar radiation per square meter per square meter per day at the southern end of Hainan Province is about 4.2 kW/hour, which belongs to the third-class solar energy resource area. Therefore, according to the conversion rate of 39%, plus an 80% discount on the lighting area, a three-square-meter solar cell pack should have a daily power output of 3.9 degrees. The daily power output per square kilometer is 970,000 degrees, and the annual output of 350 million degrees. Excluding 30% of land use, as a detection channel, the annual power generation should be 2.45 billion degrees.)

Hainan is the southernmost province in my country. The total area of ​​the island is 3.30,000 square kilometers, making it the second largest island after Taiwan.

Although in terms of geographical terms, Hainan Province also belongs to the south, and it is only separated from Guangdong Province by a Qiongzhou Strait.

But in fact, Hainan Province's economic status in our country has not received much attention from ancient times to the present. In ancient times, there was a saying that the ends of the world were the most distant and poor place, and has always been used as a place for prisoners to exile.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Hainan was part of Guangdong Province and was called Qiongya Road, which was also the extension of the Qing system. It was not until the 21st year of the Republic of China that Hainan's abolished road was changed into a special area. It is still affiliated to Guangdong.

It was not until 39 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, in 1988 that Hainan Province officially established a province.

In the same southern province, due to the backward infrastructure here, there are many ethnic minorities in the local area. Economic development has been delayed. In the early 1990s, agriculture was still the main economic pillar here.

As the only tropical island province in the southernmost part of my country, Hainan Island is one of the few unpolluted areas in the world and has abundant tourism resources.

Many people have heard of the "End of the World" in Sanya, and come to the beach to play in the water and sunbathe.

As a result, tourism has become one of Hainan's pillar industries.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, Hainan invested heavily in infrastructure construction to maintain the unique local tropical natural landscape. The island-round expressway was completed and opened to traffic, and the roads in towns and villages were also built into a network.

With the cross-sea railway bridge put into operation, the Yuehai Bridge communicated the connection between Hainan Island and the mainland, and the economy finally began to show signs of rapid development.

The country also strongly supports Hainan's economic construction, hoping to introduce some high-tech industries to Hainan Island. It will upgrade the industrial model originally based on resource development, hydropower construction, and fishery processing.

Many biopharmaceuticals, electronics, automobiles, and many foreign-funded enterprises have visited Hainan to open factories.

However, Hainan's infrastructure started late after all, and the power supply could not keep up with economic development, which became a weakness that restricted the development of industry and commerce in the province.

The topography of Hainan Province is protruding in the middle and low around it. It has abundant hydraulic resources.

Therefore, when we first built power facilities, we were based on developing local hydraulic resources and built large and small hydropower stations, such as the Daguangba Hydropower Plant and the Qingling Hydropower Station. However, although Hainan has abundant water resources, the mountain is not very high, the drop is limited, and the utilization of hydropower is also limited.

Moreover, because it is located in the tropical zone, water evaporates rapidly, and often there is no abundant water to generate electricity. Hainan's power supply mainly depends on thermal power plants to supply electricity.

Hainan has a rich variety of mineral resources. The iron ore of Shilu Iron ore accounts for 70% of the country's iron ore; it also accounts for 70% of the national reserves; Haoyingshi accounts for 60% of the national reserves, and there are also important strategic resources such as oil and natural gas.

However, coal mines used in Hainan for thermal power must be transported from other places.

Not to mention that thermal power will pollute Hainan, a natural tourist destination, it is not easy to make efforts to build thermal power stations, which is also a long journey.

Although Hainan's power grid generates 5.1 billion kWh of electricity per year, it still cannot meet the economic needs of the whole province, and it has to allocate power from the Southern Power Grids such as Guangdong.

It is because of this that California Solar Energy Company was finally arranged to settle down in Hainan Province.

According to their annual supply of 240 to 500 million kWh per square kilometer, the annual supply of 20 square kilometers can reach 490 million kWh, which is basically the same as the original power supply, which is enough to meet the power demand in the province. Without asking for electricity, they can also give the power demand in Guangdong and other places a little relief to alleviate the shortage of power supply.

This is the idea of ​​the Department of Energy, and they are also afraid that they are wishful thinking, so they are also careful when soliciting California Solar Energy Company.

After all, this is a one-time investment.

If the California Solar Energy Company's solar power station is not built, there is naturally nothing to say. But if it is completed and put into use, sufficient power supply will inevitably promote the rapid economic development of Hainan.

As the economy develops, it is not so easy for California companies to expand the scale of power plants.

This is equivalent to limiting the power supply of California Solar Energy Company to Hainan Province, and at most it can supply Guangdong's electricity demand.

After completion and production, there is no problem in survival. All power can be digested by Hainan locally, but if you want to expand your business and expand your power supply to the entire southern region, this place is obviously not enough.

Moreover, there is no possibility of further expansion.

Chinese representatives and members of the board of directors of California Solar Energy Company tentatively told their arrangements when everyone was in high spirits.

"Hainan? It's a very good place, we're relieved now. Hahaha!" Hearing that the place China chose for them, all the board members stopped cups and ignored the banquet, they immediately took the map to compare.

These days, they have also studied many construction locations, and Hainan is also their first choice.

Since they want to develop in China, they will of course seriously study China's solar energy resources.

In China, the first-class solar energy resource area is in western Tibet and the second largest solar energy resource-rich region in the world. The daily radiation intensity per square meter reaches 6.4 kilowatts.

Hainan is only a third-class region. However, it is close to China's most economically developed region, with high electricity prices and no long-distance transmission.

Relatively speaking, under the same cost expenditure, they would rather choose Hainan Province.

As a result, everyone was happy for a banquet.

The California company got the news they wanted, and was unwilling to delay for a quarter of an hour. It immediately set off for Lingshui, Hainan, accompanied by China, and prepared to start construction of the solar power station immediately.

On the first day after arriving in Lingshui, they kept checking the location of the future solar power station construction.

These are all mudflats, slopes, near the seaside, and the land is severely salinized. There is basically no action

Cultivation area. Within this range, there are not many families, only a few fishing villages.

From the beach to the land, there are hills that are undulating forty or fifty meters high everywhere, stretching for four or five kilometers.

Standing on the hills, you can see endless views. The scorching sun above your head. You can see a long white belt by the sea in the distance. It is dozens of kilometers away and is blocked by the mountains. It forms a small bay.

Walking inland along the beach, two or three kilometers away, the population began to gradually become denser. Villages gradually increased. Going inward to the Sangqiu Plain area five kilometers away, the number of people increased, and small towns formed.

"Mr. Molun, how do you think of this land? In the early 1990s, there was a real estate developer who built villa groups here. Later, because they couldn't sell them, all these villa groups collapsed, leaving only some foundation walls." The accompanying staff from Lingshui County in the local area said to Molun with a smile.

Moron looked at the rolling hills with a look of ugly expression.

He snorted, pointed to the hilly groups of dozens of meters high, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Lin, is this the land you chose for us? Look, it is all hilly several dozens of meters high! How do our solar cell packs be placed? Also, although these soil mountains are not high, as the sun angle changes, it will block part of the direct sunlight, so that our solar cells can receive solar energy? You have assigned us twenty square kilometers of land, except for the seven or eight square kilometers of square kilometers near the sea, which is flat saline-alkali land, all of them are such hills. In fact, we have obtained up to 15 or 6 square kilometers of land. How can this be done!"

The representative of the Ministry of Energy also came to the ears of the accompanying staff in Lingshui County and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't you tell you to arrange enough land for them? How do you use these hills? Even if you don't understand solar energy, you should know that if you can't shine on the sun, everything will be useless?"

The accompanying staff in Lingshui County also smiled bitterly and said, "Director Li, you don't know. Although our Hainan economic development is slow, it has a population of 8 million. It seems that there are many empty spaces, but they are actually very scattered. Moreover, there are many ethnic minorities here, and they occupy one piece of land in the east and one piece of land in the west, so we are not easy to interfere. If you want to have empty spaces, let alone twenty square kilometers, we have even two hundred square kilometers. But if you want to connect, there is only this salt-alkali land by the sea."

"Or what if I don't want to allocate all the saline-alkali lands by the sea to them? I think there are 20 to 30 square kilometers of land." Director Li said in a deep thought.

"Director Li! Although this saline-alkali land is about ten kilometers long and two or three kilometers wide, Xitou County has planned it and approved it to a pharmaceutical factory..." The accompanying staff in Lingshui County complained in embarrassment.

"What should we do? We promised others that we will choose a good land for them! Aren't you demolishing our station?" Director Li also said angrily, "We have notified you a long time ago that this is a national key energy project, and the land must be prepared for us! Now, what are you doing?"

The accompanying staff in Lingshui County quickly walked aside, took out the phone and reported to the county.

Director Li accompanied the members of the board of directors of California Solar Energy Company and chatted for a long time before Lingshui County escorts came over and said in his ear: "Director Li, we have signed the contract for this pharmaceutical factory. Otherwise, it is not a big problem. To be honest, this hill is not a big deal. They pushed it with bulldozers, that is, flat ground. Of course, this will be a little trouble, and we will suffer a little loss. We will give them a total of ten square kilometers of saline-alkali land and another twenty square kilometers of hills. They are willing to flatten themselves, but they are not willing to put the solar panels loosely. We will charge a total of twenty square kilometers of land transfer fees for them."

Director Li thought for a while, then patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "No, right! Your proposal is very good! They used bulldozers to level the land. Although it cost a little more money, it was much cheaper than they bought thirty square kilometers of open space. It just took a little more time."

After hearing Director Li’s reply, the members of the board of directors of the California company also gathered together for a while and accepted their proposal. Moreover, they also proposed that since the hilly areas are cheaper, just buy more. These hilly areas add up to 50 or 60 square kilometers, and they are willing to buy all of these lands.

Director Li couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

These foreigners are still rude. When they see there is a bargain, they want to take up all of them. Whether it is saline-alkali land or hills, although it is a bit poor as agricultural land, it can also be used for commercial development. If the country hadn't wanted to attract Western energy companies to invest in China, who would have sold it to you at such a cheap price?

He couldn't agree to the deal on behalf of Lingshui County, but he just acted as an intermediary and asked the California company to negotiate with Lingshui County.

Finally, Lingshui County nodded secretly. Only after receiving a secret nod from the Ministry of Energy, Lingshui County reluctantly agreed to sell all these lands to California Solar Energy Company. However, it also stipulated in the contract that these lands can only be used as solar power station construction land, cannot be converted for other purposes, and cannot be sold to third parties. In violation of the regulations, Lingshui County has the right to take back the land.

The California company agreed to Lingshui County's request and happily signed a formal contract.

They won 15 square kilometers of flat saline-alkali land in one fell swoop, and after surveying, a total of 52 square kilometers of hilly areas. They purchased 67 square kilometers of land at one time. According to the Ministry of Energy's idea, it would be very impressive that they could use all these lands.

A 60 square kilometers solar power plant can provide at least 15 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year!

If all construction is completed and the power system of Shanghai Nanben Province is added, the power supply in the province will be basically guaranteed. Maybe there can be a small amount of electricity to be supplied to Guangdong Province, which would be even better.

The California company is obviously full of energy. They took action immediately as soon as the contract was signed.

Enclosing land, filling some muddy land with leveling, and land planning is so busy.

A few days later, a large number of technicians flew from the United States and arranged the construction of the power plant inverter station with Chinese personnel. Half a month later, the first batch of solar cell packs were transported from the United States to sea.

I was still doing busy preparations here, and the battery packs were placed according to the plan and connected the lines.

The island is strong. In order to ensure that the solar cells are not blown down by strong winds, California Solar Energy Company also used more than ten meters of steel bars as support below each placement point to firmly fix the solar cell pack.

Director Li returned to Beijing to report his work, and waited for him to return to Lingshui County two months later. He was surprised to find that nearly five square kilometers of solar cell packs had been installed by the beach.

Thousands of workers are busy building inverter stations.

In the distance, electric poles extended inland and were discharged directly to Lingshui County. This was the delivery point that the California company's solar power station had been agreed to sell the power generated to the Hainan power grid.

According to the contract, Hainan Power Grid acquired all the electricity from the California solar power station at 50 cents per kilowatt-hour, and then sold commercial electricity for 80 cents per kilowatt-hour, one yuan and two yuan of industrial electricity.

End user. Because in the early stage of the construction of solar power stations, in order to save costs, energy storage stations were set up, so the power plant could not supply power at night. Therefore, civilian electricity at night was still supplied by Hainan Power Grid.

This has already made the Ministry of Energy very satisfied.

It was only early March, and the power supply in Hainan had begun to become tight. A large number of hydropower stations were insufficient for power supply, the price of electric coal rose sharply, long-distance transportation was difficult, and thermal power could not guarantee sufficient power supply. Many places began to "power limit and pull-out" measures to save electricity.

The California solar power station was quickly completed and put into use, quickly alleviating the power consumption tension in Hainan.

In March, California solar power station built a five-square-kilometer solar electric field and began to supply power to neighboring Lingshui County, Sanya City and Wanning City at a scale of 4.87 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.

At the end of March, the California company used a hilly area that it flattened to build an automatic factory locally. It was determined to transfer all American production lines to China and completely abandon the US market.

At the end of April, a total of 11 square kilometers of solar power plant in California were completed and put into operation. It supplies power to the Hainan power grid every day. 10.72 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. The power tension in Qionghai, Tongshi and other places was greatly alleviated.

In early June, during the peak period of local electricity consumption in previous years, California companies built a total of 15 square kilometers of solar electric farms, and the power supply of nearly hundreds of kilometers was completely sufficient. However, the overall power supply is not enough for the whole province to use. In some areas, counties and cities have to continue to endure the suffering of power shortage.

Officials from relevant government departments in Hainan Province all visited the construction site of the California company for on-site inspections. They gave on-site instructions to the Lingshui County Government where the California company is located, asking them to do all their efforts to assist the California company in building a solar electric field. They also asked the local militia and reserve personnel to participate in the work of flattening hilly areas and complete the leveling of the power plant land as soon as possible.

They also met with members of the board of directors of California Solar Energy Company and listened to their opinions. They said on the spot that Hainan will fully support the construction of solar power plants and give them all the conveniences they can provide.

The tax department also stated on the spot that in accordance with the tax exemption conditions of the new energy industry, California solar companies will be given preferential measures to exempt all tax burdens from three years and reduce them by eight years.

In mid-July, Hainan Province announced that it would build a civilized, clean and pollution-free province. Vigorously carry out pollution-saving and emission reduction work, and will immediately order rectification for factories and enterprises with severe pollution.

At the end of September, the California company completed the preliminary construction of a 20 square kilometers of solar electric field.

At this point, the California company can provide Hainan power grid with 970,000 kWh of electricity every day, effectively replenishing the defective power supply of Hainan's electricity. Adding Shanghai South local power station, half of Hainan's electricity supply is already completely worry-free.

Since June, the board members of the California company have not stayed at the construction site, but left China and lobbying vigorously on the European continent, based on the ready-made power grid, and strive for more capital investment.

In November 2005, the first European bank issued the first financing loan to a California company, with a total amount of 200 million euros.

The two parties negotiated that the financing loan could be converted into shares. If the California company cannot repay the loan on time, the bank will enter the board of directors and become one of the company's shareholders.

On the Internet, the commercialization of solar energy that has been silent for a year has once again become the focus of people's attention.

The stocks of California companies began to rise rapidly and rose steadily. Countless solar energy-related research departments have issued enthusiastic congratulatory speeches and claimed that they had long said that it was only a matter of time before the popularization of solar energy.

At the end of 2005, the California company won the second financing, totaling 5 billion euros!

This is a financing loan jointly issued by several European financial institutions. They also proposed the conditions for debt-to-equity conversion, requiring that if the loan cannot be returned on time, the bonds can be converted into company shares in a certain proportion.

The news shocked the world. Then, thousands of financial institutions around the world expressed their willingness to provide financing loans for California Solar Energy Corporation, and also stated that this financing would be able to convert bonds and shares.

California Solar Energy Corporation has launched rapid expansion with huge financial support.

The company invested and built an automatic factory production line in China, which was erected quickly at a staggering speed. At the same time as the first production line was put into use, it began to build the second day production line.

Due to localization of production and the full support of China, Hainan's 70 square kilometers of construction land was used up at one time at the beginning of the next year.

The California company's solar power station has an astonishingly power supply of 68 million kWh of electricity.

The transmission network line of Hainan Power Grid in Lingshui has reached the maximum limit for power transmission. This is originally a terminal network, but it is no longer able to bear the transmission of higher power.

The Ministry of Energy personally led the establishment of an ultra-high voltage long-distance transmission backbone network in Lingshui, and was determined to build a high-voltage transmission line from Hainan to Guangdong based on the sea railway line.

Moreover, China took out 300 square kilometers of land this time and participated in the investment and stake, accounting for 24.8% of the shares in California Solar Energy Company.

Immediately, several major state-owned banks such as Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China jointly provided 100 billion yuan in financing to California companies and promised to convert debt into equity.

China made a big move, and other countries were not willing to let the people down.

On the French side, the newly-employed government immediately expressed its intention to cooperate with California Solar Energy Corporation, hoping to jointly build solar power plants. The French government promised to provide 30 billion euros in financing, requiring the solar power plant built in France to own 70% of the shares. After round-trip negotiations, the financing provided by the French government was reduced to 19 billion euros, and it owned 40% of the shares in solar power plants. The insufficient part was provided by several European banks and obtained 20% of the shares.

Following the footsteps of France, European countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom have also sent commercial representatives to China to the headquarters of California Solar Energy Company to negotiate the construction of solar power stations.

Order after order, flying to California Solar Energy Company. In just one year, California companies received hundreds of commercial orders, and the total construction scale is expected to reach thousands of square kilometers of solar power plants.

California Solar Energy Corporation uses independent power generation and power supply to the power grid, avoiding the high cost of rebuilding the power grid.

At the same time, there is no need to re-establish a new DC transmission network, and the power department does not make a strong resistance.

Although the power generation of solar power plants is still insignificant in the world's electricity supply.

However, solar energy has become an unstoppable trend when entering people's lives and gradually replacing petroleum energy. In the future, solar energy will be the main source of human energy power, which is a consensus among everyone.
