The pace of energy transition is accelerating, with China's wind and solar power generation capacity exceeding 1.1 billion kilowatts.


In the northern Tibet Plateau, the 100-megawatt Oma Tingga wind power project in Naqu, Tibet, has achieved full-capacity grid connection, providing approximately 200 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually; at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Xinjiang Huadian 6.1 million kilowatt new energy base has commenced construction, covering a total area of approximately 990 square kilometers, with complementary power generation from multiple energy types such as solar, solar thermal, and thermal power. Since 2024, China's energy transformation has accelerated. Data released by the National Energy Administration on the 22nd shows that by the end of March, the country's total installed power generation capacity reached approximately 2.99 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 14.5%. Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation is approximately 660 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 55%; and the installed capacity of wind power is approximately 460 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%.

Following consecutive breakthroughs of 800 million, 900 million, and 1 billion kilowatts in 2023, China's installed capacity of wind and solar power generation has once again surpassed 1.1 billion kilowatts, accounting for approximately 37.3% of the country's total installed power generation capacity, indicating a continued trend of green and low-carbon development in power generation capacity.

In the first quarter, the country added 69.43 million kilowatts of new installed power generation capacity, an increase of 13.42 million kilowatts year-on-year. Among them, hydropower accounted for 1.81 million kilowatts, thermal power 6.39 million kilowatts, wind power 15.5 million kilowatts, and solar power 45.74 million kilowatts. Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in the first quarter, the electricity generation of large-scale industrial enterprises reached 2.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. Among them, thermal power generation was 1.6 trillion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%; clean energy power generation, including hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, and solar power, reached 0.6 trillion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.9%.
