Decarbonization of the Southern Power Grid in China is feasible by 2060 but requires converting a large cropland area to support solar and wind energy; expansion of hydropower will impact the transboundary rivers according to a power system optimization model set up for 2020–2060.
"China Southern Power Grid also has two major pilot projects on power trading in Guangdong and Yunnan provinces, which provide both challenges and opportunities for the country's in-depth digitalization of its power networks," he added.

In April 2021,China Southern Power Grid issued the “Digital Power Grid White Paper”, advocating for the digital grid as the optimal framework for accommodating the new type of power system.
China Southern Power Grid said the five regions that it covers have consumed 540 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy during the first nine months, with the renewable energy generation efficiency reaching 99.81 percent, up 0.22 percent year-on-year. Newly added installation of new energy reached 3.31 million kWs.
[Photo/Xinhua] China Southern Power Grid, one of the country's two major power grids, vowed to invest 670 billion yuan ($105 billion) recently in grid network construction during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) to ensure power supply stability and boost green power consumption.

Essentially, the relaxation of the planning rules means that battery storage projects above 50MW in England, and 350MW in Wales can now go ahead without needing to be approved through the national planning regime. The planning regime previously treated storage projects as ‘energy generation’ where projects over. . It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and. . Previously, many developers sought to limit projects to 50MW to avoid the lengthy NSIP process, which also impacts on generation projects that are to be co-located with the storage. The change in the law should make it. . PWA Planning has a dedicated energy planningteam that can provide a wide range of services to providers looking to progress planning. . For developers, investors and landowners, this is great news, and we would encourage them to speak to their planning consultants and other professional advisors to understand more about how the changes can benefit.

It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and Country Planning Act, by local planning authorities. In effect this means that planning applications for projects over 50MW should, theoretically, be decided in between eight and 13 weeks depending on their size.
Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.
The change in the law should make it much easier for energy storage schemes to get planning permission, to attract funding more easily, and enable them to be built more quickly. The recent UK Battery Storage Project Database Report by suggested the UK has more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.
Energy companies and battery storage developers in the UK can now bypass the national planning process when developing large scale energy storage projects, thanks to a recent change in the law.
The changes to planning legislation for larger energy storage projects were first announced back in October 2019 to allow planning applications to be determined without going through the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process.
There is currently 4 GW of storage projects in planning which could power a combined 6 million homes, in addition to the 1 GW of battery storage already in operation. View the government response to the Planning system for electricity storage: follow up consultation
