Abstract
In the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025), East China will take the initiative to foster an advanced power system with renewable energy as the main body, aiming at energy consumption transformation as well as the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Considering that East China is experiencing considerable energy shortage, nuclear power can undoubtedly facilitate the energy structure transformation as a stable power supply which is clean, flexible and energy efficient. This paper firstly introduces the current status of nuclear power generation in East China. Then advantages and disadvantages of developing nuclear power in East China are analyzed from perspectives of energy characteristics, generation cost and grid operation. After that, the influence of East China power supply and demand situation on nuclear power consumption is described in detail. Finally, opportunities of nuclear power development in East China are discussed. Challenges of inter-provincial power trading are also probed in view of difference in development pathways and competition in power market. Practical suggestions on future development of nuclear power in East China Power Grid are proposed from various aspects.
