Guizhou plans for new and renewable energy development

Southwest China's Guizhou province recently released a development plan for new and renewable energy in 2021-25.

The plan shows that by the end of 2025, Guizhou's capacity to generate new and renewable energy is expected to exceed 65.46 million kilowatts, geothermal energy is expected to heat and cool 25 million square meters of area, and the production capacity of biogas is expected to reach 200 million cubic meters.

By 2025, Guizhou's utilization of new and renewable energy is expected to equal 40.48 million metric tons of standard coal, and the consumption of non-fossil fuels is expected to account for 21.6 percent of the province's total.

From 2021 to 2025, Guizhou will expand the diversified industrial layout of photovoltaic power generation, promote the coordinated development of wind power, develop biomass energy according to local conditions, and accelerate the development of geothermal energy.

It will also focus on nuclear energy development, stimulate the consumption of new and renewable energy, strengthen the direct utilization of new and renewable energy, and expand the comprehensive utilization of renewable energy in rural areas.
