Henan Daily

Zhengzhou: At 11:31 AM on February 7, Henan’s renewable energy output hit a record high of 30.77 million kilowatts, including 24.4 million from photovoltaic power and 6.37 million from wind power, accounting for 51.1% of the province’s total electricity load at that moment. According to the State Grid Henan Electric Power Company, this marks an increase of 1.4 million kilowatts compared to the previous record of 29.37 million kilowatts on August 11, 2024.

Henan’s new record high in renewable energy output is primarily driven by the rapid growth in installed capacity of renewable energy. By the end of January this year, Henan’s renewable energy installed capacity has reached 68.77 million kilowatts, an increase of 8.6 million kilowatts year-on-year, replacing coal-fired power as the province’s largest energy source. Notably, the distributed photovoltaic capacity grew by 6.3 million kilowatts, remaining the main contributor.
