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.
“西電東送”主力省
“西電東送”是中國政府推進西部大開發的重點工程,也是中國統籌東西部實現優勢互補的重要舉措。貴州是“西電東送”工程南線的主要電力輸出省。截至2020年12月,貴州已累計向廣東省和周邊送電超6000億千瓦時。“黔電送粵” 2020年送電500億千瓦時,較2002年提高了十余倍。貴州為珠三角千家萬戶點亮燈火的同時,也成為中國這個“世界工廠”的工業大動脈之一。
2020年,貴州電力裝機規模達7478萬千瓦,發電量2327億千瓦時,其中清潔能源裝機容量占一半以上。預計到2025年,貴州電力裝機規模將超過1億千瓦。
