Heilongjiang’s contracted power exports exceed 20 billion kWh
By Nov.
1, Heilongjiang had contracted to export over 20 billion kWh of electricity in 2026, a record for the northeastern Chinese province.
The contracts included 13.711 billion kWh of clean power, also a record.
Heilongjiang’s electricity exports now reach 20 provinces and regions across six parts of China.
The province has strong potential for wind and solar power and is a major clean-energy base in northern China.
The region expects wind and solar capacity to make up more than 65% of its total installed power capacity by 2030.
To connect more renewable energy to the grid, the province is building power-grid projects, including dedicated 500-kilovolt facilities.
During China’s 2026–2030 planning period, the grid company plans to advance major transmission projects and add capacity to connect nearly 30 million kilowatts of renewable energy.
Heilongjiang’s contracted electricity exports exceeded 20 billion kilowatt-hours for the first time this year, as of November 1.
Contracted clean-power exports reached 13.711 billion kilowatt-hours, also a record.
The exports have reached 20 provincial-level regions across six major regions of China.
Heilongjiang is building power-grid projects to support the collection and export of renewable energy.
The province expects wind and solar power capacity to account for more than 65% of its total installed capacity by 2030.
