BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Northwest China's Qinghai Province has achieved carbon emission reduction of 34 million tonnes so far this year, thanks to its efforts on clean energy power generation.
Data showed that as of Wednesday, power generation by clean energy has amounted to 32.377 billion kilowatts in the province this year, up 10.3 percent year on year, equivalent to that of burning some 11.66 million tonnes of raw coal.
Thanks to its geological strengths, Qinghai is well-positioned to develop solar energy and hydropower. Qinghai's installed capacity of renewable energy power generation totaled 36.38 million kilowatts by the end of 2020, according to the State Grid Qinghai branch.
The well-developed energy supply structure in the province, featuring advanced technology in exploration and utilization, has laid solid foundation for its safe and highly-effective low-carbon energy development, with new energy utility rate remaining at about 95 percent all the time, said Liu Qingbiao with the company.
Liu added that responding to the country's goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the power supplier will conduct more research to support the development of clean energy. Besides, it will also push forward "green electricity" in manufacturing and tourism industry.
