[Cable Network News] According to data released by the National Energy Administration, as of the end of October, China's renewable energy generation capacity has reached a new high, breaking through 1.4 billion kilowatts to reach 1.404 billion kilowatts. This figure represents a 20.8% increase compared to the same period last year and accounts for 49.9% of the country's total power generation capacity. This achievement signifies China's continuous development and progress in the field of renewable energy.
In June of this year, China's total installed capacity for renewable energy generation had already surpassed 1.3 billion kilowatts, and within just a few months, another breakthrough was achieved. This fully demonstrates China's rapid development and strong capabilities in the field of renewable energy. As the scale of renewable energy generation capacity continues to expand, the proportion of clean energy in China is gradually increasing, making a significant contribution to the country's energy structure transformation and carbon emission reduction.
Data from the National Energy Administration shows that from January to October this year, the country's renewable energy generation amounted to 2.33 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 31.8% of the total national power generation. Among them, hydropower generated 980.5 billion kilowatt-hours, wind power 696.8 billion kilowatt-hours, photovoltaic 489.8 billion kilowatt-hours, and biomass 164 billion kilowatt-hours. It is expected that the total renewable energy generation for the year will reach 3 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for about one-third of the total social electricity consumption.
With the expansion of the renewable energy generation scale, related issues also need attention. For example, how to better integrate renewable energy generation, how to improve the utilization rate of renewable energy generation, and how to build a more intelligent and flexible power grid, among others. These are the directions in which China needs to continue its efforts and exploration in the field of renewable energy. In the future, we will also need to continue working to solve issues such as the instability and sustainability of renewable energy to achieve a more reliable and sustainable green energy supply.
