  • In the first three quarters of 2023, the country's new installed capacity of photovoltaic 128.94 million kilowatts, an increase of 145%, of which centralized photovoltaic 61.8 million kilowatts, distributed photovoltaic 67.14 million kilowatts. As of the end of September 2023, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the country reached 520 million kilowatts, of which 295 million kilowatts of centralized photovoltaic and 225 million kilowatts of distributed photovoltaic. In the first three quarters of 2023, the country's photovoltaic power generation was 436.9 billion KWH, an increase of 33%. The utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation in China is 98.3%, an increase of 0.3 percentage points year-on-year.



  1. Strong and effective energy supply guarantee.

    The output of raw coal, crude oil and natural gas increased steadily. Successfully completed the kurtosis summer power supply, daily power generation hit a record high for three times, and orderly electricity consumption was not implemented. Strengthen the supervision of the performance of medium - and long-term contracts for thermal coal, and promote the national thermal coal inventory of unified power plants to continue to maintain a historical high level of nearly 200 million tons. The market for production and domestic oil is well supplied. The planned implementation of underground gas storage gas injection will provide effective support for the supply of natural gas in the heating season.

  2. Green and low-carbon transformation has been deepened.

    The first batch of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases have all started, the second batch of base projects have started one after another, and the third batch of base project lists have been officially issued and implemented. We will vigorously promote the development of rural wind power photovoltaic and offshore wind power. We will accelerate the construction of key projects for conventional hydropower and pumped storage. Further improve the green certificate system, issued the "On the full coverage of Renewable energy green electricity certificate to Promote Renewable energy electricity consumption Notice".

  3. New progress was made in high-quality energy development.

    Further progress was made in the construction of the electricity market to further stimulate the vitality of high-quality energy development. According to local conditions, we accelerated the construction of local auxiliary service markets, and tapped the potential for peak regulation to exceed 90 million kilowatts. The scale of new energy storage installed capacity continues to grow rapidly, and many technology projects such as lithium batteries, compressed air, and flow batteries are growing rapidly. Fourth, energy investment maintained rapid growth. The energy sector has vigorously promoted the construction of key infrastructure and new infrastructure, driving investment growth at a relatively high level. In the first eight months of this year, the total investment in key energy projects under construction or to be started within the year was nearly 1.5 trillion yuan, with the investment completion rate 5.5 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year, effectively playing a supporting role in expanding domestic demand, stabilizing investment, promoting growth and ensuring security.
