Xinjiang exported 77.3 billion kWh of clean electricity in the first quarter

China Energy Storage Network: As of April 17, Xinjiang's clean energy installed capacity reached 36.9713 million kilowatts, accounting for 40.15% of the total installed capacity. In the first quarter of this year, Xinjiang's cumulative electricity transmission was 280.7 billion kWh, of which 77.3 billion kWh was clean energy power generation.

According to statistics, Xinjiang's power grid has an installed capacity of 19.7513 million kilowatts of wind power, 10.266 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, and 6.954 million kilowatts of hydropower. Based on the average utilization hours of each type of power generation in 2019, Xinjiang's clean energy power generation is expected to reach 79 billion kilowatt-hours this year, which can reduce the use of standard coal by 25.28 million tons, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 68.256 million tons and sulfur dioxide emissions by 214,900 tons, with significant energy-saving and emission-reduction effects.

In terms of distribution, the installed capacity of clean energy in the eastern part of Xinjiang Autonomous Region is 16.3758 million kilowatts, mainly wind power generation; the installed capacity of clean energy in the southern part of Xinjiang Autonomous Region is 6.8864 million kilowatts, mainly photovoltaic power generation; the installed capacity of clean energy in the northern part of Xinjiang Autonomous Region is 13.7091 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of each type is balanced. The installed capacity of clean energy in Turpan, Hami, Bortala, Tacheng, Altay, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, and Kashgar accounts for more than half of the total installed capacity of clean energy in Xinjiang Power Grid.

In order to improve the efficiency of clean energy utilization, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power has optimized the power generation plans of various power sources, deeply explored the peak load potential of the system, and promoted electric energy substitution. While promoting the consumption of clean energy in the region, the company actively promoted cross-provincial and cross-regional market transactions to promote the optimal allocation of clean energy on a larger scale.

It is understood that since 2016, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power has launched the "power aid to Xinjiang + marketization" cross-regional power transmission, signed multiple power transmission agreements to aid Xinjiang, and delivered clean energy to 19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.
