CCSN POWER: Things to note in the preliminary feasibility report of photovoltaic power generation project
The scale of the global photovoltaic power generation market continues to expand. According to statistics from the International Energy Agency, the global installed photovoltaic power generation capacity will reach nearly 1 terawatt (1TW = 1000GW) by 2021, and will maintain rapid growth in the next few years. As the world's largest photovoltaic power generation market, China ranks first in the world in terms of cumulative installed capacity and annual new installed capacity. In addition, markets such as Europe, the United States and the Asia-Pacific region also show strong growth momentum.
The photovoltaic power generation industry has received great attention and support from governments around the world. In China, photovoltaic power generation projects have been listed as strategic emerging industries, and the government has introduced a series of policies, including financial subsidies, tax incentives and promotion of market applications, to promote the development of the photovoltaic power generation industry. In addition, governments around the world have also launched carbon emission reduction and renewable energy targets, providing a broader development space for the photovoltaic power generation industry.
Things that need to be paid attention to in the preliminary feasibility report of photovoltaic power generation projects include:
1. Geographical conditions
The geographical conditions of the project location are crucial to the implementation of photovoltaic power generation projects. Factors such as local geographical location, topography, and climate characteristics should be considered to evaluate their impact on project implementation. For example, geographical location may affect lighting conditions and traffic conditions, topography may affect project site selection and construction costs, and climate characteristics may affect the power generation efficiency and lifespan of photovoltaic modules.
2.Climate characteristics
Climatic characteristics also have an important impact on photovoltaic power generation projects. Light intensity, sunshine duration and climate conditions all affect the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules. During the preliminary research of the project, local meteorological data should be collected and the distribution and change patterns of light resources should be analyzed to provide a basis for project site selection and scale design. In addition, attention should also be paid to the impact of climate change risks on projects, such as extreme weather, climate disasters, etc.
3. Electricity demand
During the preliminary research of the project, local power demand conditions should be understood, including power load, power supply structure and power development trends. By analyzing the power demand, the project scale and configuration can be reasonably designed to ensure that the project can meet local power demand after completion and adapt to the development and changes of the future power market.
4. Electricity market
When understanding the local electricity market situation, you should pay attention to factors such as market structure, competition landscape, and sales strategy. This helps to judge the market competition situation and future market trends in the project location, and provides a reference for project investment decisions and market positioning. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the policy environment and development dynamics of the local power market to reasonably avoid market risks.
5. Investment cost
Investment cost is one of the important contents in the preliminary investigation of photovoltaic power generation projects. The fixed asset investment, construction costs, operation and maintenance costs, etc. required for the project should be comprehensively estimated, and the source of funds and financing methods should be comprehensively considered. On this basis, conduct investment return analysis and economic benefit assessment of the project to provide scientific basis for project investment decisions.
6.Financial analysis
Financial analysis is one of the key links in the preliminary research of photovoltaic power generation projects. By conducting statistics, analysis, and forecasts on the project's financial data, the project's profitability and return on investment can be evaluated. On this basis, appropriate financial plans and operational strategies can be formulated to provide an important reference for project financing and operations. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the cash flow status and financial status of the project.
Risk prevention and other issues.
7. Environmental impact
Photovoltaic power generation projects have certain impacts on the local environment and global environment. In the preliminary research of the project, attention should be paid to factors such as environmental protection measures, environmental protection requirements and environmental protection risks. First, the potential impact of the project on the local environment, such as land use, water resources, ecological balance, etc., should be assessed. Secondly, you should understand the impact of global environmental protection policies and regulations on the project, such as carbon emission reduction, renewable energy targets, etc. Finally, corresponding environmental protection measures and risk response strategies should be formulated to reduce the negative impact of the project on the environment influence.
8.Social impact
The response of photovoltaic power generation projects in local society is also an important part of the preliminary research. Pay attention to local culture, customs, population distribution, etc., and understand the possible social impacts of the project and the social problems that may be faced.
