Clean energy generated in the western part of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region began on Friday its long-distance transmission to the country's southernmost island province of Hainan for the first time to ensure a stable power supply in Hainan during the National Day holiday season.
On Friday, approximately seven million kilowatt-hours of clean energy -- including wind and solar power -- from western Inner Mongolia are expected to reach Hainan, 3,000 kilometers away, in batches during peak consumption hours through cross-region power transactions coordinated by China Southern Power Grid, State Grid, and Inner Mongolia Power Company.
This cross-regional power delivery will continue until October 9, one day after the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. It marks the first time that clean electricity from western Inner Mongolia has been transmitted to Hainan, further streamlining the large-scale power delivery mechanism across multiple operational zones.
"We will be further integrated into the national unified electricity market, and regularly carry out transactions cross regions and within the grid operating area. While ensuring the power supply in Hainan, we will optimize the allocation of green electricity resources to strongly support the special customs operation of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the green development of the clean energy island," said Ai Chuang, marketing director of Hainan Power Grid Company affiliated to China Southern Power Grid.
