Xinjiang contributes to green energy

With an abundance of strong winds and plentiful sunshine, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region delivered 740.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to other parts of the country over the past 13 years up until the end of 2023, of which clean electricity accounted for nearly 30 percent, said State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co. Xinjiang is rich in clean energy including wind and solar. Clean electricity transmitted from the region to other areas amounted to 210 billion kWh since the transmission program was launched there in November 2010.This is equivalent to a reduction of approximately 171.52 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, said the company. The company aims to form a main power grid network which will include seven circle lines for power supply within the region and six lines to transport power out of Xinjiang by 2025.
