Recently, the National Bureau of Statistics' National Data Website released data, compiled by Cable Network. In December 2022, China's thermal power generation—defined hereafter as "thermal power output"—reached 554.95 billion kilowatt-hours, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.3%. By region, the thermal power output across China's six major conventional areas, ranked from highest to lowest, was as follows: East China: 175.19 billion kWh; North China: 117.99 billion kWh; Central-South China: 103.55 billion kWh; Northwest China: 89.7 billion kWh; Southwest China: 39.63 billion kWh; and Northeast China: 28.89 billion kWh.

National Energy Administration: Standardizing the Use of Forest Land for Photovoltaic and Wind Power Projects

National Energy Administration: Standardizing the Use of Forest Land for Photovoltaic and Wind Power Projects

In its response to the "Proposal on Strengthening Support for New Energy Development in Shanxi," the National Energy Administration noted that, to balance the development and construction of photovoltaic and wind power projects with the protection of forest resources—and to promote the sustained, healthy growth of these renewable energy sectors while ensuring the proper use of forest land—China's National Forestry and Grassland Administration has successively issued two key documents: the "Notice from the State Forestry Administration on Issues Related to the Use of Forest Land for Photovoltaic Power Station Construction" (Lin Zi Fa [2015] No. 153) and the "Notice from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration on Standardizing the Use of Forest Land for Wind Farm Projects" (Lin Zi Fa [2019] No. 17). These guidelines adhere to the principles of prioritizing ecology, safeguarding nature, and promoting the efficient and economical use of forest land, while also emphasizing rational planning and layout, and clearly delineating prohibited and restricted areas for photovoltaic and wind power development.

Details on the Scale of National Electricity Market Transactions in 2022

Details on the Scale of National Electricity Market Transactions in 2022

On February 13, the National Energy Administration held its regular press conference in Beijing. Zhao Xueshun, Deputy Director of the Market Supervision Department of the NEA, provided an update on the scale of electricity market transactions across China. According to transaction settlement data, in 2022, the total volume of electricity traded in the national market reached 5.25 trillion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 39%. This accounted for 60.8% of the nation's total electricity consumption, up 15.4 percentage points from the previous year. Notably, cross-provincial and cross-regional market-oriented electricity trading exceeded 1 trillion kilowatt-hours for the first time, growing nearly 50% year-on-year. As a result, the market's role in facilitating broader, more efficient allocation of power resources continued to strengthen. Meanwhile, the number of market participants registered with electricity trading institutions surpassed 600,000 for the first time, representing a 29% increase compared to the previous year. This surge has further invigorated market dynamics, laying a solid foundation for the continued growth of China's electricity market. Additionally, the average market transaction price for coal-fired power generation units nationwide reached 0.449 yuan per kilowatt-hour, approximately 18.3% higher than the national benchmark electricity price on average—effectively helping to ease the financial losses faced by coal-power enterprises.

In January, Xinjiang delivered 10.84 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to other regions, an increase of 17.8% year-on-year.

In January, Xinjiang delivered 10.84 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to other regions, an increase of 17.8% year-on-year.

According to data from the Xinjiang Electricity Trading Center, in January of this year, Xinjiang transmitted 10.84 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity externally, representing a year-on-year increase of 17.8%. Among these exports, 2.616 billion kilowatt-hours came from new energy sources, accounting for 24.13% of the total external power transmission. This amount is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 791,300 tons, while also cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 2.1366 million tons, sulfur dioxide by 6,700 tons, and nitrogen oxides by 5,900 tons—playing a significant role in advancing the energy transition and fostering low-carbon development.
