On July 28, the National Energy Administration held a press conference. Wang Dapeng, deputy director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, introduced that my country's renewable energy installed capacity has been steadily expanding. As of the end of June 2021, the national installed capacity of renewable energy power generation reached 971 million kilowatts. Among them, hydropower installed capacity is 378 million kilowatts (of which pumped storage is 32.14 million kilowatts), wind power installed capacity is 292 million kilowatts, photovoltaic power generation capacity is 268 million kilowatts, and biomass power generation capacity is 33.19 million kilowatts. Renewable energy power generation continues to grow.

From January to June 2021, the national renewable energy power generation capacity will reach 1.06 trillion kilowatt-hours. Among them, hydropower above designated size was 482.67 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%; wind power was 344.18 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of about 44.6%; photovoltaic power generation was 157.64 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of about 23.4%; biomass power generation was 77.95 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase About 26.6%. Renewable energy maintains a high level of utilization.

From January to June of 2021, the country’s major river basins have abandoned water power of approximately 5.364 billion kWh, and the water energy utilization rate is about 98.43%, an increase of 0.07 percentage points from the same period last year; the country’s curtailed wind power is approximately 12.64 billion kWh, with an average utilization rate of 96.4 %, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from the same period last year; the national waste of electricity was 3.32 billion kWh, and the average utilization rate was 97.9%, an increase of 0.07 percentage points from the same period last year.
