On April 19, 2022, the inauguration of China National Nuclear Corporation Xinhua (Buerjin) Pumped Storage Power Generation Co., Ltd. was held in Burqin County, Xinjiang, which means that the construction of a multi-energy complementary energy base in Burqin, Xinjiang officially kicked off.

According to reports, this project is the first million-level clean energy base project in the northern Xinjiang region. Based on the recently won bid for the Burqin pumped storage project with an installed capacity of 1.4 million kilowatts, the local government will follow up with a matching ratio of 1:4. The integrated water, wind, solar and storage projects in the Burqin River Basin will be built, including 2 million kilowatts of photovoltaics and 3.6 million kilowatts of wind power. At present, the first phase of the 150,000 wind power supporting project index has been approved and issued by the autonomous region, the planning and design have been completed, and the construction has officially started. It is estimated that the total planned installed capacity of the project is 7 million kilowatts, and the estimated total investment is 50 billion yuan.

The Burqin Pumped Storage Project is a key implementation project in the 14th Five-Year Plan of the National Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021-2035). Integrated large base project.

Xinhua Power has developed clean energy in Xinjiang for 20 years. It has participated in the development and management of many watersheds such as the Yarkand River, and has built a batch of large-scale water conservancy, hydropower and wind power projects such as the Altash Water Control Project of the Three Gorges Project in Xinjiang (investment of 10.986 billion yuan). , photovoltaic projects, built 6 power stations in the Altay area, including the Burqin River Chonghuer Hydropower Station, the Haba River Jilebulak Hydropower Station, and the Woymoke Wind Power Station.

Taking advantage of the large-scale and intensive industrial advantages formed in the Altay area, Xinhua Power Generation Company develops and constructs the Burqin pumped storage power station based on the construction goal of a clean energy base, and builds water, wind and solar power based on the pumped storage power station. Integrate demonstration and leading projects such as storage, storage, etc., and play a good green energy card. Through the construction of a large clean energy base, we will make every effort to ensure the supply of green energy, promote the green and clean development of Xinjiang, create a new highland, a new benchmark, and a new model for Xinjiang's green and zero-carbon development, and strive to build a national-level comprehensive energy demonstration area. Make new contributions to promoting regional energy transformation and efficient economic and social development. Editor/He Yuting
