Chapter 957 Electricity Export Agreement
Most people have a misunderstanding, that is, nuclear power is cheaper than most power generation methods.
Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
According to the survey results of Bloomberg New Energy Financial Consulting, the average power generation cost of nuclear power plants in the world is 14 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is approximately RMB 085, which is almost the same as the cost of solar power generation. Compared with the cost of land wind power generation and efficient natural gas power generation of 82 cents, the cost of nuclear power is much higher, and even a little higher than thermal power generation with coal, natural gas and oil as the main fuels.
Nuclear power can alleviate the shortage of electricity, but it cannot effectively reduce electricity prices. In particular, the safety of nuclear power plants is increasingly attracting media attention. In order to prevent serious nuclear accidents such as core melting, nuclear power plants have to spend more budgets on safety maintenance, so that the cost of power generation has always been increasing. Unless the scale of nuclear power plants is increased, its not-fair cost can be reduced.
Against this backdrop, it is no wonder that Jiang Chen’s 005 ringgit was so shocked to the Prime Minister. Indicated into RMB, 005 ringgit is equivalent to 8 cents. There is no arbitrary power generation method in the world that can reduce the cost to this level.
In other words, if the electricity price is really cheap to this level, there is no need for other energy sources to exist, so everyone might as well use all the electricity they can use.
If Razak knew the cost of the Starring trade, he would be even more shocked. He was once sold at 8 cents for kilowatt-hours, and the cost of the Starring trade was only 1 cent at most. Helium 3 has been proven to have a reserve of up to one million tons on the moon, and 100 tons is enough to use it worldwide for a year. As for the deuterium needed for reaction, the reserves in the ocean will be even richer. As long as the refining technology is in place, the cost and other things can be ignored.
In short, after listening to Jiang Chen's offer, the Prime Minister was completely uneasy.
Controlling his rapid breathing, he was silent for a moment and spoke.
“Can’t that nuclear power plant be built in our country?”
Razak has made up his mind that even if the entire Malaysian parliament voted against the nuclear power project, he would persuade the MPs to nod to the project one by one. This is really important to Malay! It not only affects the living costs of the people, but the electricity price directly affects the industrial production costs. If the electricity price can be lowered, more international companies will come to build factories and invest!
Moreover, the financial subsidies made by the Malay government on electricity bills can also be completely removed every year, and this large amount of budget can be transferred to education, medical care and other fields.
However, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"It doesn't make any sense to build a nuclear power plant in your country. The energy required by nuclear power plants requires a mineral from the moon. This mineral is not very convenient to transport... In short, building this nuclear power plant in space is much more beneficial than building it on the surface. What's more, in space, we don't have to worry about nuclear leakage accidents at all."
Jiang Chen's words made Razak silence again.
On the one hand, he was tempted by Jiang Chen's offer, but on the other hand, he was worried that this might force Malay local power generation companies to go bankrupt, making Malay unable to get rid of the cheap electricity from Star Ring Trade.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry and immediately responded, leaned back leisurely on the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip.
The black tea was already much warmer at this time. While drinking the tea leisurely, Jiang Chen was quietly waiting for Razak's reply.
It is best to get satisfactory answers from the Prime Minister. If not, he can only spend some time contacting Malaysian parliamentarians and politicians, and give enough benefits to force the Prime Minister to compromise on the power grid.
In addition, he has mastered the two major media tools, the Future Ren10 and Virtual Reality Network, and has many methods that he can use. He only needs to let the Malay people know that they had hoped to use the electricity price of 005 ringgit, but because of the py transaction between the Prime Minister and other "black-hearted merchants", the cheap electricity cannot enter the domestic market...
Jiang Chen looked at Razak quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the Prime Minister relaxed his expression and spoke.
"It's no problem to build submarine cables, and it's no problem to connect to the Malay power grid from New Matthew District, but in the first year we are willing to import 26-30 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from you. For specific cooperation plans, the State Power Administration and TNB Power Company will talk to you."
26 billion million hours is equivalent to 10% of the electricity used by Malay throughout the year. At the export price of 005 ringgit, Malaysian power grid operating units will pay Starring Trade a year of 1.3 billion ringgit foreign exchange, equivalent to 2 billion yuan.
As for TNB, it is Malaysia's power giant, and they are basically managing the power grid. Jiang Chen believes that there is no reason to refuse this coveted electricity export agreement with a coveted profit.
Jiang Chen believes that in less than a year, TNB will use the excuse to shut down several high-emission power stations, and then come to the door to ask for more of them.
005 ringgit electricity, sold once you sell it, it will be 01 ringgit. If you don’t make money, is it still called a capitalist?
He left the Prime Minister's Office with satisfaction. The Star Ring Trade Branch in Malay had sent a special car to wait at the door. After Jiang Chen got in the car, he ordered the driver to take him to Kuala Lumpur and parked at the entrance of a Hilton hotel in Kuala Lumpur city.
Because he had to negotiate specific contracts for submarine cables and export power with the State Power Administration and TNB Power Company, he had to temporarily change his round trip plan on that day and chose to stay in Malay for one more day.
He walked straight to the hotel counter. When he took out the black diamond card that Naseta gave him, the hotel manager immediately made a presidential suite for him and respectfully sent him to the door of the room.
After checking in the room, Jiang Chen took off his formal clothes and took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and sat on the sofa in the living room.
After opening a bottle of red wine and turning on the home theater, Jiang Chen pinched the remote control and picked a video that he had never seen before.
Guns and plasma are always the themes of Hollywood action blockbusters and are also the most eye-catching thing for audiences. Jiang Chen’s favorite movies on weekdays are also the kind of movies.
Without an explosion, can it still be called a Hollywood blockbuster?
After watching it for about thirty or forty minutes, the video was played in part, and a gun battle between police and gangsters was being staged on the screen. Jiang Chen stared at the screen with concentration, and was enjoying himself, but the alarm ringtone sounded in his ears.
Alarm?
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and looked out the window.
The alarm sound does not seem to come from the home theater, but from the street downstairs outside the window.
"What happened outside? Such a mixed alarm ringtone, at least six or seven police cars."
Curiosity broke out, Jiang Chen picked up the remote control and paused the movie, walked to the window and looked out. He saw a row of police cars shaking red and blue light blocking the entrance to the mall in half a street.
Jiang Chen's expression was a bit strange.
This is a coincidence. I was watching a police and gangster movie just now, and there was a confrontation between police and gangsters outside.
