砥砺奋进七十载 天山南北谱华章丨从“沙戈荒”到“新蓝海”——新疆能源建设绘就绿色发展新图景

Core Viewpoint - The development of renewable energy in Xinjiang, particularly wind and solar power, is significantly contributing to local employment and high-quality economic growth, while also enhancing the energy supply to other regions in China [3][5][6]. Group 1: Renewable Energy Projects - Xinjiang is witnessing the awakening of its desert and Gobi regions through the establishment of renewable energy projects, such as the 100,000 kW wind power project in Ruoqiang County by Xintian Green Energy [3]. - The Tianshan Gobi Energy Base project is notable for its large scale and complex geological conditions, with significant contributions from China Huadian and China Resources Group [3][5]. - The Hami-Chongqing ±800 kV UHVDC transmission project, which began operation on June 10, 2023, is designed to transport clean energy from Xinjiang to central and southwestern China, with over 70% of its power sourced from renewable energy [5][6]. Group 2: Energy Transmission and Market Integration - Xinjiang has established a comprehensive "electricity network" with three UHVDC transmission channels connecting to central, eastern, and southwestern regions, facilitating the transfer of energy advantages to national development [5][6]. - The green electricity trading between Xinjiang and Shanghai has increased by 24% this year, with a total of 23 transactions, showcasing the integration of Xinjiang's renewable energy into the national market [6]. Group 3: Energy Storage and Stability - The total installed capacity of new energy storage in Xinjiang reached 12.41 million kW by the end of July 2023, positioning it among the top in the country [6]. - The development of a multi-faceted regulation system combining new energy storage and pumped storage is crucial for maintaining stability in the power system as large-scale renewable energy is integrated [6]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The proportion of clean energy in Xinjiang's energy structure is expected to continue rising, with the total installed capacity of the grid reaching 226 million kW by the end of July 2023, of which approximately 60% is from clean energy sources [6].
