BEIJING, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- North China's Tianjin Municipality saw its annual trading of green electricity exceed 10 billion kilowatt hours for the first time as the city just finished annual power trading for 2025.
Its trading volume of green electricity reached 13.41 billion kWh in 2025, surging by 168 percent year on year, accounting for over 40 percent of the total power trading volume, according to the Tianjin electricity trading center.

Tianjin is self-sufficient in green power supply, with capacity of local supplier exceeding 3 billion kWh as the local affordable renewable energy units have been introduced to the green power trading market.
The city is also promoting the inter-provincial green power trading. It just fulfilled the trading with northwest China's Gansu Province for the upcoming five years, with a record trading volume of 17.26 billion kWh for the 2025-2029 period.
