"In 2019, the National Energy Administration adheres to the general idea of stability and progress, and constantly improves the renewable energy policy system, continues to optimize the development of the renewable energy industry, and intensifies efforts to promote renewable energy consumption and strive to achieve Renewable energy continues to develop in a healthy manner. "On March 6, the first quarter of the National Energy Administration's press conference arrived on schedule, and the highly-regarded renewable energy grid-connected operation in 2019 was officially released.
Despite the impact of the epidemic, the press conference was held online, but the continuous breakthrough and aggressive performance of the renewable energy industry in 2019 still sent good news for the further development of the energy industry.
Wind power and photovoltaic power generation installed capacity exceeded 200 million kilowatts
In 2019, China's renewable energy installed capacity continued to expand, and wind power and photovoltaic power generation installed capacity exceeded 200 million kilowatts for the first time, achieving another milestone in the development of the industry.
As of the end of 2019, China's renewable energy power generation installed capacity reached 794 million kilowatts, an increase of 9% year-on-year, the total installed capacity accounted for about 39.5% of all power installed capacity, an increase of 1.1 percentage points year-on-year, and the role of renewable energy as a clean energy alternative has become increasingly prominent.
Hydropower installed an additional 4.17 million kilowatts in 2019, with a cumulative installed capacity of 356 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 1.1%. From a regional perspective, the concentration of newly added hydropower is relatively high. Yunnan ranks first in the country with an installed capacity of 920,000 kilowatts, followed by Jilin with a newly installed capacity of 600,000 kilowatts, and the new installed capacity of the two provinces nationwide. The proportion reached 48.7%.
