Since the beginning of this year, due to continued geopolitical conflicts, the international energy market has experienced severe fluctuations, and some countries have faced difficulties such as soaring oil prices and energy supply shortages, seriously affecting local production and living order. In sharp contrast, China's energy and resource supply has always remained stable and orderly, effectively ensuring sufficient supply of energy for production and daily life through timely activation of temporary price regulation mechanisms. Of particular concern is that, against the backdrop of sustained high demand for electricity in high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence and high-end manufacturing, China's power supply remains stable and strong. Where does this bottom gas source come from? What structural changes are happening in China's energy supply sector? In this first quarter economic observation, we will take you to decode the development password of the new energy system.

Nearly 4 billion kilowatts - this figure broke the record for China's total installed power capacity in the first quarter. It is reported that this volume is about three times that of the United States, firmly occupying the top spot in the world and accounting for nearly 30% of the total installed power capacity in the world, demonstrating China's solid energy supply foundation.

While the installed capacity is steadily expanding, China's energy supply structure is also accelerating optimization, and the effectiveness of green transformation is becoming increasingly significant. In the first quarter, the clean energy generation capacity of hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, solar power and other industries above designated size reached 0.7 trillion kilowatt hours, an increase of 2.8% compared to the same period last year, accounting for 33.2% of the total power generation of industries above designated size, further consolidating the dominant position of clean energy. As of the end of February this year, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in China has reached 2.38 billion kilowatts, and the "family base" of green energy continues to grow.

Hou Wenjie, Director of the Statistics and Intelligence Department of the China Electricity Council, stated that it is expected that in the first quarter, renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics will account for about 70% of China's newly added electricity installed capacity. In other words, more than two-thirds of the newly added power generation capacity belongs to clean energy. This means that our energy 'family' is not only more solid, but also greener and cleaner. Keywords: energy, wind power, photovoltaics

From a temporal perspective, the growth of China's installed power capacity has achieved a leapfrog improvement: from 1 billion kilowatts to 2 billion kilowatts, which took nearly 8 years; From 2 billion kilowatts to 3 billion kilowatts, the time has been shortened to less than 5 years; Moving towards the goal of 4 billion kilowatts, it is expected to take only 2 years, and China's energy supply capacity is accelerating to achieve a qualitative leap and a quantitative improvement.
