⚡ Big milestone alert! As of this week, the cumulative electricity sent from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region surpassed 1 trillion kilowatt-hours. The program kicked off in 2010 and now fuels 22 provinces across the Chinese mainland.
🌞🌬️ Around 29.6% of this power comes from new energy sources like solar and wind. That's a huge win for the planet: about 89.5 million tonnes of coal saved and a cut of 240 million tonnes of CO2 emissions! 🌍✨
🛠️ Xinjiang's secret sauce? A robust grid with five major transmission channels and a total capacity of 33 million kilowatts. These electric highways make high-volume, cross-regional power flow a breeze.
⏰ Plus, by tapping into a 2–3 hour time difference with eastern China, the region uses flexible trading systems in the national unified power market to match supply with demand more efficiently. Talk about a power-shift hack! 🔄⚡
From clean-energy boosts to ecological wins, Xinjiang is proving that mega-scale power transmission can be both smart and green. Stay tuned for more electrifying updates! 🚀
