The installed capacity of solar power generation exceeded 600 million kW--Seetao

The "2023-2024 National Electricity supply and Demand Analysis and Forecast Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") released by the China Electricity Council on the 30th shows that: as of the end of 2023, the installed capacity of the national full-caliber power generation capacity of 2.92 billion kilowatts, an increase of 13.9%. Per capita installed power generation capacity exceeded 1 kW/person at the end of 2014, and exceeded 2 kW/person for the first time in 2023. The share of coal power installed capacity fell to 39.9%, falling below 40% for the first time. The first time that the share of coal power installed capacity fell below 50% was at the end of 2020. In 2023, the green and low-carbon transformation trend of the power industry will continue to advance, and the development of new energy will achieve "three consecutive jumps". First of all, the total installed capacity of grid-connected wind power and solar power generation in the country has continuously broken through the 800 million kilowatts, 900 million kilowatts and 1 billion kilowatts from the end of 2022, and reached 1.05 billion kilowatts by the end of 2023, accounting for 36% of the total installed capacity, an increase of 6.4 percentage points year-on-year. Among them, the installed scale of grid-connected solar power generation increased from 390 million kilowatts at the end of 2022 to 610 million kilowatts at the end of 2023. Looking at investment, in 2023, the key survey enterprise power investment increased by 30.1% year-on-year, of which non-fossil energy power generation investment increased by 31.5% year-on-year, accounting for 89.2% of power investment. Investment in solar power, wind power, nuclear power, thermal power and hydropower increased by 38.7%, 27.5%, 20.8%, 15% and 13.7%, respectively. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
