On September 26, the social stability risk assessment announcement for the China Electric Power Engineering Ordos Qianqi wind and solar power hydrogen production integrated project (PV, ESS, and hydrogen production sections) was released. This marks a new development following the project's filing on September 9, highlighting the emphasis on and implementation of social stability risk prevention during the project's advancement, providing assurance for its smooth progress. The project, constructed by Zhonggu (Ordos Qianqi) New Energy Co., Ltd., has a total dynamic investment of 949.1314 million yuan and is a key project in the development of the hydrogen energy industry in Ordos City.
Core Project Indicators
- Project Location: Located in Wulandao Benge Gacha, Aolezhaoqi Town, Chengchuan Town Harise Ri Gacha, and Shanghaimiao Town Shuiquanzi Village, Ordos City, Ordos Prefecture.
- Construction Scale
- Energy and Facility Construction: Includes a 200MW PV project, an electrolysis water hydrogen production facility with an annual output of 16,400 mt (including hydrogen storage facilities), and a 50MW/50MWh electrochemical ESS hydrogen production station.
- Product Application: The produced hydrogen will mainly be used in the downstream ammonia synthesis plant to produce liquid ammonia for export to nearby coal power and chemical enterprises.
Construction Period and Investment
- Construction Duration: 18 months for construction, 25 years for operation.
- Investment Details: Static investment of 928.0941 million yuan, construction period loan interest of 21.0373 million yuan, and a dynamic investment of 949.1314 million yuan; funding sources include 20% of the total investment as capital, with the remaining 80% from bank loans. The capital allocation ratio is 40% in the first year and 60% in the second year.
Social Stability Risk Related
- Potential Risks: Mainly include risks such as wage arrears for workers, fund raising, public security, and environmental pollution.
- Preventive Measures: Ensuring workers' legitimate rights and interests through guarantees or insurance, the construction unit issuing a fund commitment letter, strengthening public security management in collaboration with relevant departments, and strictly implementing measures to mitigate water and soil, and environmental impact assessments.
- Public Participation: Soliciting opinions from stakeholders including citizens, legal entities, governments, and other organizations within the project construction area. The public display period is 15 days, during which the public can provide feedback on the project's impacts on the economy, society, environment, and daily life via letters, phone calls, or emails.
Regional Strategic Significance and Industrial Value
The project fully utilizes the wind and solar resources of Ordos City to achieve green electricity for green hydrogen production, extending to the production of chemical products like ammonia, effectively promoting the local energy structure transformation and fostering the integration and development of the hydrogen and chemical industries. Upon completion, the annual production of liquid ammonia will meet the needs of surrounding coal power and chemical enterprises, contributing to regional industrial upgrading. Additionally, the proactive measures taken in social stability risk prevention also serve as a reference for similar projects, playing a crucial supporting role in the construction of the "wind, solar, hydrogen, and storage" industrial cluster and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
