Jilin's new energy power generation accounted for nearly 40% in the first three quarters, and green electricity has been used as fuel to go overseas.

China News Service, Changchun, October 17. Reporters learned from State Grid Jilin Electric Power Co., Ltd. on the 17th that in the first three quarters of this year, Jilin Province's new energy power generation reached 32.492 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 4.75%, accounting for 37.8% of the province's total power generation, an increase of 1.5 percentage points year-on-year, and the annual proportion is expected to exceed 38%.

As of now, the installed capacity of new energy in Jilin Province has reached 28.3049 million kilowatts, accounting for 51.44% of the total installed capacity in the province, ranking the largest power source in the province. Among them, wind power installed capacity accounts for more than 70% of new energy installed capacity. In the first three quarters of this year, the province's newly installed new energy capacity was 2.2349 million kilowatts, and the new energy utilization rate reached 92.7%.

As wind and solar installed capacity and power generation continue to expand, Jilin continues to expand green electricity consumption and delivery channels. The "Jilin Electricity to Beijing" project relies on the UHV DC transmission channel to transport wind power, photovoltaic and other clean electricity from western Jilin to North China. After the project is fully completed and put into operation, it is expected to deliver 26.4 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to North China every year, helping to optimize the regional energy structure of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Jilin Province’s new energy power is also converted into green fuel to enter the international market. In Taonan City, Shanghai Electric Group has built a green methanol plant; green hydrogen ammonia alcohol projects in Songyuan City, Daan City and other places have been put into production and their products have been exported. Recently, 1,000 tons of green ammonia produced in Songyuan City successfully provided fuel for Belgian ships, and the relevant bunkering operations were completed in Zhoushan, Zhejiang. (over)
