The 8th China (Changsha) New Energy Application and Smart Energy Innovation Development Forum was held recently. According to the data released at the forum, Hunan’s generating capacity based on new energy was nearly 17 TWh in 2020, accounting for 10.7% of the total annual capacity, and increasing by 3.5 times over 2015. 

During the 13th Five-year Plan period (2016-2020), Hunan’s new energy-based installed capacity increased by 10 Gw, about 4 times more than that in the end of 2015. The capacity based on wind, solar, and biomass power exceeded 6 Gw, 3 Gw, and 0.8 Gw respectively, up 3.4, 9, and 1.4 times. In 2020, Hunan’s new energy-based generating capacity was nearly 17 TWh. Among this, the capacity based on wind, solar, and biomass power hit 10 TWh, 3 TWh, and 3.9 TWh respectively. Wind power has become Hunan’s third largest power source.

New energy development gives an impetus to industrial upgrading. Hunan’s annual wind power equipment manufacturing output is in the front ranks of China. Wind blade production ranks second domestically, with a market share exceeding 30%. Solar cell production also takes the lead domestically, with a market share of more than 30%.
