[Ferro-Alloys.com]China's major coal-producing region of Shanxi has stepped up renewable energy growth over the last year amid efforts to seek low-carbon and greener development.

 

Its installed renewable energy capacity reached 53.09 GW at the end of 2023, up 22.6 percent year-on-year, according to the Shanxi provincial statistics bureau.

 

The figure accounts for 39.9 percent of the total installed power generation capacity in the province, up by 4.1 percentage points from a year ago, the agency said.

 

The electricity generated from renewable energy sources, including hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass, hit 89.2 billion kWh last year, up 17.9 percent year-on-year and accounting for one-fifth of its total power generation.

 

As a pivotal energy base, the province helps guarantee the country's energy supply with coal and electricity.

 

Last year, Shanxi province sent a record high of 157.6 billion kWh of electricity to 23 provincial-level regions. | chinadaily.com.cn
