on october 25, 2023, at 16:18, the no. 1 unit of the 2×1000 mw new project at hunan yueyang power generation co., ltd. under china energy successfully passed the 168-hour full-load test run. with this milestone, china energy has now commissioned 50 million-kilowatt-class coal-fired power generation units, accounting for approximately 30% of the total number of such units in the country, making it the largest operator in this category nationwide. leveraging the low energy consumption, high efficiency, and economic benefits of the million-kilowatt-class coal-fired units, china energy continues to enhance its supply capacity during critical periods and major events, driving breakthroughs in the clean and efficient development of the thermal power industry. the operating million-kilowatt-class coal-fired units generally have a 20-40 g/kwh lower coal consumption for power supply compared to other classes of units, resulting in significant energy-saving and emission reduction effects.
up to october 30, 2023, the installed capacity of china energy's power plants has reached 307.06 million kilowatts, among which thermal power installed 204.69 million kilowatts, accounting for approximately 15% of the national total thermal power installed capacity. the coal consumption for electricity supply of the operating coal-fired units is leading the industry. the installed capacity of clean and renewable energy has reached 102.37 million kilowatts, accounting for about 33.4% of china energy's total installed capacity. this robust support has significantly contributed to the rapid growth of the entire society's electricity demand, playing a prominent role in promoting the low-carbon and clean transformation of energy and power consumption.
