On May 17, 2026, the Beautiful China Hundred People Forum 2026 will be held in Dunhuang, Gansu. Zhang Jianhua, member of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee of the 14th CPPCC National Committee and former director of the National Energy Administration, said in his keynote report that he supported the rational allocation of solar thermal power generation in large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases, and the construction of a number of local large capacity solar thermal power stations in Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Xizang and other places.

The western region is facing three major challenges in terms of consumption and revenue space

Zhang Jianhua pointed out that the development of renewable energy in the western region faces three major challenges: consumption, revenue, and space, which urgently need to be solved. The western region is not only an important clean energy base, but also the core area of the national ecological security barrier. It is necessary to promote the deep integration of renewable energy development and ecological environment protection. We should adhere to both planning and protection, continuously optimize the development layout, and create a highland for the development of renewable energy.

The cumulative installed capacity of the Shage Wilderness Base is 140 million kilowatts

The western region is the main force of China's energy green transformation. The total installed capacity of the Shagehuang base is about 140 million kilowatts. The hydropower project in the lower reaches of the the Yarlung Zangbo River was officially approved to start. The construction of water and scenery integrated bases in the Yalong River and other basins has been comprehensively accelerated. By 2025, nearly 4 out of every 10 kWh of electricity consumed by the entire Chinese society will come from green energy. Nearly half of the country's green electricity will be produced in the western region and transmitted to the central and eastern regions through ultra-high voltage.

Promote the repair mode of power generation boards on the board and under the board

Zhang Jianhua suggested that the construction of wind and photovoltaic bases should be continuously promoted with a focus on the Shage Desert area, and photovoltaic sand control projects should be scientifically advanced. Actively and steadily promote the development of major hydropower projects while ensuring ecological protection, and accelerate the construction of integrated water, wind, and solar bases. Strengthen the connection between renewable energy planning and national spatial planning, promote eco-friendly development models such as on-board power generation, off board restoration, and inter board planting, and use AI and big data technology to carry out efficient and low interference operation and maintenance.Editor/Gao Xue
