In the northern Tibetan Plateau, the 100 MW wind power project of Nagqu Omatingga in Tibet is fully connected to the grid, which can provide about 200 million KWH of clean electricity every year. At the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang Huadian new energy base of 6.1 million kilowatts has been started, covering a total area of about 990 square kilometers, solar, thermal, thermal and other types of energy complementary power generation... Since the beginning of this year, the pace of China's energy transformation has accelerated. According to data released by the National Energy Administration on the 22nd, as of the end of March, the cumulative installed power generation capacity of the country was about 2.99 billion kilowatts, an increase of 14.5%. Among them, the installed solar power capacity of about 660 million kilowatts, an increase of 55%; The installed capacity of wind power was about 460 million kW, up 21.5 percent year on year.

China's wind power solar power installed capacity after 2023 consecutive breakthrough 800 million, 900 million, 1 billion kilowatts, a few days ago once again exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatts, accounting for the proportion of the country's installed power capacity of about 37.3%, electric power installed capacity continued green and low-carbon development trend.

In the first quarter, China added 69.43 million kilowatts of installed power generation capacity, 13.42 million kilowatts more than the same period last year. Among them, 1.81 million kilowatts of hydropower, 6.39 million kilowatts of thermal power, 15.5 million kilowatts of wind power and 45.74 million kilowatts of solar power. In the first quarter, industrial power generation above designated size increased by 6.7 percent year on year to 2.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics. Among them, thermal power generation was 1.6 trillion KWH, up 6.6% year on year; Clean energy sources such as hydropower, nuclear power, wind power and solar power generated 0.6 trillion KWH of electricity, up 6.9 percent year on year.
