Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is charging ahead in the renewable energy race, reporting a 30.7% surge in new energy power generation for 2024. With output hitting 116.16 billion kWh, this clean energy leap accounts for over 80% of the region’s total power growth.
Breaking it down: Solar power stole the spotlight with a 65.7% year-on-year jump to 40.77 billion kWh, while wind energy generated 75.39 billion kWh—up 17.3%. Think of it as nature’s own power duo working overtime!
This isn’t just local news—Xinjiang’s sun-drenched deserts and windy plains are key players in China’s 2030 carbon peak and 2060 carbon neutrality goals. The region’s massive wind and solar farms are basically the Avengers of climate action, assembling faster than a Marvel crossover.
State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. confirms these projects are scaling up like a tech startup, proving that going green doesn’t mean slowing down. For young climate advocates and future-forward entrepreneurs, Xinjiang’s energy revolution is one to watch.
