A Leading Power Supplier in West-to-East Electricity Transmission Project
The West-to-East Electricity Transmission Project is a major part of the Chinese government's endeavor to develop the country's western region on a large scale as well as an important measure for balancing the development of eastern and western regions by leveraging their complementary advantages. Guizhou is a leading power supplier for the project's South Channel. As of December 2020, Guizhou had cumulatively transmitted more than 600 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Guangdong Province and its surrounding areas. In 2020, Guizhou supplied 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Guangdong, more than ten times that in 2002. Guizhou has become one of the industrial arteries of China, "Factory of the World", while powering the Pearl River Delta region.
In 2020, Guizhou's installed generating capacity reached 74.78 million kilowatts, with 232.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated, and clean energy accounted for more than half of the installed capacity. It is expected that the province's installed generating capacity will exceed 100 million kilowatts by 2025.
“西电东送”主力省
“西电东送”是中国政府推进西部大开发的重点工程,也是中国统筹东西部实现优势互补的重要举措。贵州是“西电东送”工程南线的主要电力输出省。截至2020年12月,贵州已累计向广东省和周边送电超6000亿千瓦时。“黔电送粤” 2020年送电500亿千瓦时,较2002年提高了十余倍。贵州为珠三角千家万户点亮灯火的同时,也成为中国这个“世界工厂”的工业大动脉之一。
2020年,贵州电力装机规模达7478万千瓦,发电量2327亿千瓦时,其中清洁能源装机容量占一半以上。预计到2025年,贵州电力装机规模将超过1亿千瓦。
