Core Viewpoint - The development of renewable energy in Gansu Province is accelerating, with significant projects like the world's first "dual-tower one machine" solar thermal power station, contributing to the province's transformation into a major renewable energy and equipment manufacturing base under the "14th Five-Year Plan" [1][2][3]. Group 1: Renewable Energy Projects - The "dual-tower one machine" solar thermal power station in Gansu features a unique design that enhances solar concentration efficiency by approximately 24%, increasing power generation capacity [2]. - Gansu's total installed renewable energy capacity reached 64.37 million kilowatts by the end of 2024, with 40.67 million kilowatts added since the start of the "14th Five-Year Plan," equivalent to building 1.8 "Three Gorges Hydropower Stations" [3]. Group 2: Infrastructure Development - Gansu is enhancing its high-voltage transmission infrastructure, with projects like the ±800 kV Qilian converter station, which has been operational since 2017 and has transmitted nearly 200 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Hunan, significantly reducing coal consumption and carbon emissions [5][6]. - The province is expected to establish four high-voltage transmission corridors by the mid-point of the "15th Five-Year Plan," with annual electricity transmission projected to reach 1,600 billion kilowatt-hours [6]. Group 3: Economic and Ecological Benefits - The growth of the renewable energy sector is transforming Gansu's resource and location advantages into economic and ecological benefits, with local manufacturing of wind turbine components significantly reducing logistics costs [7]. - Innovative projects like the photovoltaic sand control initiative in Wuwei are combining renewable energy generation with ecological restoration, showcasing the dual benefits of renewable energy development [8].
