天津谋划“十五五”能源支撑项目，总投资2000亿元Tianjin plans '15th Five-Year' energy support projects with a total investment of 200 billion yuan

On October 22, the Tianjin Municipal Government Information Office held a series of thematic press conferences on "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan." Liu Tao, Deputy Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, introduced that, in addition to projects like the Jizhou Pumped Storage Power Station, supercritical unit capacity replacement, and the Datong–Tianjin South ultra-high-voltage AC transmission project, during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, Tianjin has planned a total of 200 billion yuan in supporting projects centered on five aspects: oil and gas security, new power grid construction, integrated development of renewable energy, green and low-carbon energy transition, and future energy layout development.

In terms of improving oil and gas security capabilities, Tianjin plans to implement projects such as the interconnection of offshore oil and gas pipelines, expansion of the Bohai West oil and gas processing plant, and increase in capacity of the Dagang Oilfield gas storage cluster, making full use of oil and gas resources in the Bohai Sea to reduce dependence on foreign sources.

Regarding new power system construction, Tianjin will further accelerate the preliminary work for the Heilongjiang–Tianjin ultra-high-voltage DC transmission project, plan cross-provincial green electricity direct supply and high-voltage transmission channels from the west into Tianjin, and simultaneously build a new-type power grid; it also plans pilot projects such as carbon dioxide molten salt storage and underground compressed air storage, promoting the construction of city-level virtual power plants.

Focusing on the integrated development of renewable energy, Tianjin is planning demonstration projects such as the Jizhou integrated wind-solar-storage energy base and the offshore multi-energy complementary renewable energy base, constructing a batch of system-friendly renewable energy power stations with active support capabilities, and, in conjunction with key enterprise needs, planning a number of short-distance green electricity direct connection and coordinated electricity computation projects. Focusing on green and low-carbon transformation, Tianjin is planning comprehensive energy solutions in conjunction with zero-carbon parks and zero-carbon corridors, creating a benchmark demonstration of green regional energy systems in the "117 Project" area, and actively promoting the planning and layout of clean heating centers. Regarding future energy development, Tianjin is leveraging the construction of the Ulanqab-to-Jing-Jin-Ji hydrogen transmission pipeline to plan the main pipeline and transmission and distribution systems in the Tianjin section, systematically arranging hydrogen refueling infrastructure, planning the expansion and quality improvement of green hydrogen applications, and orderly advancing the planning and construction of green ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel projects.

Liu Tao introduced that the next step will be to focus on major projects, putting effort into in-depth, practical, and detailed planning. First, optimize the project generation mechanism by building a rolling and continuous project planning and reserve system around national policy directions and Tianjin's development needs, aiming to include more projects in the national plan. Second, promote early commencement and rapid construction of projects, quickly complete preliminary project work, strengthen the security of elements such as land and sea use, and promptly coordinate any difficulties encountered during project implementation. Third, strengthen financial support through multiple channels, actively seek central funding, regularly carry out government, financial, and project coordination, make comprehensive use of new financial tools like PPP mechanisms and REITs, and focus on stimulating social capital investment vitality.
