URUMQI, December 16 (Xinhua) — The total volume of electricity transmitted from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to other regions of the country exceeded 1 trillion kWh as of Monday, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co. Ltd. reported.
The power transmission program, which began in 2010, supplies electricity to 22 provinces across China, making a significant contribution to the country's energy security.
Of all electricity transmitted from the region, 29.6 percent came from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This delivered significant environmental benefits, including a reduction in coal consumption of approximately 89.53 million tons and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 240 million tons.
Xinjiang, rich in coal, solar, and wind resources, has developed a robust power grid with five main transmission lines. This infrastructure provides 33 million kW of transmission capacity, facilitating large-scale interregional power transmission.
To optimize the use of power transmission channels, Xinjiang has integrated into the unified national electricity market, implementing flexible trading mechanisms. The region utilizes the two- to three-hour time difference with eastern China to balance supply and demand, increasing efficiency.
