Xinhua News Agency, Xining, June 8 (Reporter Jie Tongqiang) Recently, the reporter learned from Qinghai Energy Bureau that from January to April, 2022, Qinghai Power Grid delivered 6.08 billion kWh of electricity, of which 4.294 billion kWh of electricity was delivered from new energy sources, with a year-on-year increase of 25.12%.

Qinghai has more than 100,000 square kilometers of desertified land that can be used for photovoltaic power generation and wind farm construction. The theoretical exploitable amount of photovoltaic resources is 3.5 billion kilowatts, and that of wind technology is 75.55 million kilowatts. Relying on the unique resource endowment, Qinghai power grid has achieved rapid development in recent years.

This year, 21 new energy distributed cameras were built and put into operation in the new energy base of Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, which increased the new energy delivery capacity of Qinghai by 3.5 million kilowatts.

It is understood that from January to April, the proportion of new energy installed capacity in Qinghai Province is constantly increasing, and the proportion of new energy delivered electricity is 70.63%, with a year-on-year increase of 21.76%. Relying on the 800 kV Qinghai-Henan DC UHV transmission channel, from January to April, the power output of Qinghai-Henan DC project was 3.219 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 4.65%, of which the power output of new energy was 3.026 billion kWh, an increase of 40.74%.

According to industry experts' analysis, from January to April, the utilization rate of wind power was 94.8%, and that of photovoltaic was 91.5%. The utilization rate of new energy was greatly improved, and the inter-provincial consumption capacity was significantly improved.
