On October 27, 2026, on the large screen of Xinjiang Electric Power Trading Center Co., Ltd., a series of numbers kept jumping: the cumulative external power transmission in Xinjiang in the first three quarters was 130.72 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 20.61%. Among them, the amount of new energy transmitted was 53.468 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 32.64%. From wind farms in northern Xinjiang to photovoltaic bases in southern Xinjiang, and from Zhundong to the ultra-high voltage channel in southern Anhui, a continuous stream of green electricity is being transported across thousands of miles to the national load center.

The external power transmission exceeds 130 billion

In the first three quarters of 2026, Xinjiang's cumulative external power transmission reached 130.772 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 20.61%, and the scale of external transmission continued to expand. As of the end of September 2026, the total installed capacity of Xinjiang power grid reached 280 million kilowatts, of which the installed capacity of new energy exceeded 184 million kilowatts, accounting for 65.71%. Seven new energy bases with a capacity of 10 million kilowatts have been built throughout Xinjiang, forming a power layout of wind power in northern Xinjiang, photovoltaic power in southern Xinjiang, and multi energy complementarity. The continuously growing green power chassis provides strong support for Xinjiang's power transmission. In the first three quarters, Xinjiang exported 53.468 billion kilowatt hours of new energy, a year-on-year increase of 32.64%. The growth rate of new energy exports was higher than the overall export growth rate, and the role of green electricity in national energy supply guarantee and low-carbon transformation is increasingly prominent.

Ultra high voltage channel cantilever beam

Since 2026, Xinjiang Electric Power Trading Center has continuously improved the market-oriented trading mechanism of electricity, built a multi-level trading system of annual, monthly, and intra month, and implemented a high-frequency trading mode of weekly rolling organization and continuous opening on natural days. In the first three quarters, the three ultra-high voltage direct current transmission channels of ± 1100 kV from Zhundong to Wannan, ± 800 kV from Hami South to Zhengzhou, and ± 800 kV from Hami to Chongqing respectively transmitted 53.89 billion kilowatt hours, 35.33 billion kilowatt hours, and 27.67 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, accounting for nearly 90% of the total transmitted electricity and becoming the main channels for Xinjiang's electricity transmission.Editor/Gao Xue
