Among them, the revenue of photovoltaic manufacturing industry exceeded 290 billion yuan, ranking the third in China, a record high.
"The provincial party committee and the provincial government regard new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection industry as one of the key emerging industries to be built." Luo Hong, deputy director of the Department of Ecological Environment of Anhui Province and a first level inspector, introduced that, for this reason, Anhui Province has formulated industrial development plans, etc., and issued several policies to support the high-quality development of advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage industry clusters. At the same time, Anhui Province has prepared an industrial chain map and a road map of "double recruitment and double introduction", which has clearly defined the industrial development goals, paths, tasks and safeguards, and accelerated the building of an internationally competitive industrial cluster.
Wu Haifeng, deputy director of Anhui Provincial Department of Science and Technology, said at the press conference that in recent years, the Department of Science and Technology has focused on promoting the R&D and application of new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection industry technology and leading the high-quality development of the industry by building a platform, tackling key problems, strengthening the main body, promoting transformation and other measures.
In terms of the layout and construction of innovation platforms, Anhui has given preferential support to the new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection industries. It has built 20 provincial innovation platforms such as laboratories, industrial research institutes, and enterprise research and development centers, effectively gathering talents, equipment and other industrial innovation resources.
In terms of tackling key scientific and technological problems, Anhui aims at the development needs of new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection industries, and precisely refines the guide for tackling key scientific and technological problems. In 2023, Anhui will support leading enterprises to implement 57 major scientific and technological projects in collaboration with upstream and downstream enterprises, colleges and universities, and arrange national and provincial financial support funds of more than 100 million yuan A number of "choke" technologies have been overcome in the fields of trans perovskite solar cell materials.
