日本考慮將區(qū)域間電網(wǎng)加倍以促進(jìn)可再生能源發(fā)展

　　據(jù)路透社4月19日消息，日本工業(yè)部一名官員周五表示，日本正考慮將其區(qū)域間電網(wǎng)容量從目前的約24吉瓦增加一倍，以幫助加快海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電場(chǎng)等可再生能源的擴(kuò)張。

　　此舉正值日本加快發(fā)展清潔能源，以幫助該國(guó)到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)碳中和的目標(biāo)，同時(shí)電網(wǎng)的薄弱一直是日本發(fā)展可再生能源的障礙。

　　這位官員表示，工業(yè)部和輸電運(yùn)營(yíng)商跨地區(qū)協(xié)調(diào)組織(OCCTO)正在考慮一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，即修建海底電纜，連接北海道北部島嶼和電力需求旺盛的本州島。

　　他指出，其他可能的計(jì)劃包括加強(qiáng)北部東北地區(qū)和本州島東京都市圈之間的傳輸線路，以及加強(qiáng)南部九州島和本州島之間的電網(wǎng)。

　　《日經(jīng)新聞》周四報(bào)道稱，日本工業(yè)部和OCCTO已共同制定一份計(jì)劃草案，擬將區(qū)域間電網(wǎng)容量翻倍。

　　這位官員表示:“我們?nèi)栽诳紤]這些計(jì)劃，尚未敲定?！彼a(bǔ)充稱，中期報(bào)告可能會(huì)在5月份編制，而實(shí)際計(jì)劃將在下一個(gè)財(cái)年敲定，在2023年或之后開(kāi)工。

　　Japan considers doubling inter-regional power grid to boost renewable energy

　　Japan is considering doubling its inter-regional power grid capacity from around 24 gigawatts now to help speed up expansion of renewable energy such as offshore wind farms, an industry ministry official said on Friday.

　　The move comes as Japan gears up its drive to expand cleaner energy to help the country achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, and as the weak power grid has been a hindrance to the growth of renewable energy in Japan.

　　The industry ministry and the Organization for Cross-Regional Coordination of Transmission Operators (OCCTO) are considering a plan to build undersea cables to connect the northern island of Hokkaido and the main Honshu island where power demand is high, the official said.

　　Other potential plans include boosting transmission landlines between the northern Tohoku region and the Tokyo metropolitan areas on Honshu island, and reinforcing grids between the southern island of Kyushu and Honshu, he said.

　　The Nikkei business daily reported on Thursday that the industry ministry and the OCCTO have put together a draft plan to double the inter-regional power grid capacity.

　　"We are still considering those plans and nothing have been finalised," the ministry official said, adding that an interim report will likely be compiled in May and the actual plan will be finalised next fiscal year, with construction starting in or after 2023, he said.
