Abstract:Electricity is the center of the modern energy system. Green and low-carbon development of electric power is critical to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutral goals. The carbon emission situation of Guangdong's power industry is analyzed from multiple perspectives in terms of total carbon emissions, carbon emissions intensity, and average carbon dioxide emissions per unit of power supply. On this basis, the new requirements of the carbon peak goal and carbon neutral vision for the development of the power industry are studied and judged. Finally, the carbon reduction path of the Guangdong power industry is proposed to help Guangdong achieve the carbon peak goal and carbon neutrality vision,including optimizing the power supply structure, building a new power system, constructing an independent innovation system of power technology, promoting the agglomeration development of the power industry, coordinating ,and promoting the construction of carbon emissions trading markets, energy rights trading markets, and electricity trading markets.
