The world's largest wind power and photovoltaic base project in China, which is a 10-million-kilowatt new-energy base, began construction in Ordos, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
According to a plan issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the NEA in 2022, China will build wind and solar power bases with an installed capacity of 455 million kilowatts by 2030. China's southwest can support both hydro and wind power due to its varied landscape, comprising rivers and mountains.
To accelerate the construction of large-scale wind and PV power bases in deserts and Gobi areas, and actively promote the construction of multi-energy and complementary clean energy bases in the upper Reaches of the Yellow River, Xinjiang and northern Hebei.
A mega solar and wind power base under construction in China's seventh-largest desert Kubuqi in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is set to become the world's largest power generation base of its kind.
The annual cumulative power generation of wind and PV power reached 978.5 billion kWh, up 35% year-on-year, accounting for 11.7% of the total power generation, an increase of 2.2 percentage point over the previous year (Fig. 1). 3. Policies of integrated development in solar and wind power generation
By the end of 2021, the grid-connected wind and PV power installed capacity reached 328 GW and 306 GW respectively. The annual cumulative power generation of wind and PV power reached 978.5 billion kWh, up 35% year-on-year, accounting for 11.7% of the total power generation, an increase of 2.2 percentage point over the previous year (Fig. 1). 3.
