Southwestern China's Tibet autonomous region has made strides in the development of clean energy, with 91.44% of its power generation from green sources, according to State Grid Tibet Electric Power Co., Ltd.
So far, the installed power capacity of hydropower, photovoltaic and wind in the region accounts for 53.72%, 36.32% and 1.4%, respectively, the company said. This showcases a significant shift towards clean and sustainable energy sources.
In 2023, the company supplied a total 2.57 TWh of clean power to other provinces and regions, up 13.98% from a year earlier. These efforts resulted in a decline in burning standard coal of 1.03 million tonnes and a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions of 2.52 million tonnes.
The Tibet power grid has also been promoting the construction of green electricity market. It organized two green power transactions in December 2023, delivering 2.77 GWh to Chongqing in southwestern China via the Sichuan-Tibet interconnected power grid, thus contributing to a breakthrough in the region's green power exchanges.
Furthermore, Tibet's outward power transmission is predicted to reach 15.5 TWh from 2024 to 2026 under a path-breaking framework agreement on power aid inked by the company.
By leveraging the role of its green energy innovation development center, the company will proactively contribute to the construction of the national clean energy base and the demonstration area for the new type of power system in central Tibet.
