The total installed capacity of new energy across Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, and Hainan Province had exceeded 200 million kilowatts as of February 10, four times that of the end of 2020. The share of new energy in southern China's total power generation capacity has risen from 15% to 36.6%, further solidifying its position as the leading power source and driving progress in energy transition.
Currently, the total installed capacity in the five southern provinces and regions includes 62.16 million kW of wind power, 83.46 million kW of centralized photovoltaic power, 46.19 million kW of distributed photovoltaic power, and 9.46 million kW of biomass energy. Among them, Guangxi leads with the highest proportion of new energy, nearing 50%, while Yunnan has experienced the fastest growth, adding over 44 million kW of new energy capacity since the launch of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), with an average annual growth rate of 47%.
Going forward, CSG will focus on enhancing distributed photovoltaic coordination and control, developing new energy storage mechanisms, and improving integrated management of power generation, grid operation, and storage, to address challenges arising from the rapid expansion of new energy capacity.
