Nuclear Power in China
In the 13 th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) for power production announced by the National Energy Administration (NEA) in November
Based on the actual number of base stations in each province of China in 2021, 13 we calculated the national electricity consumption of communication base stations (methodology detailed in Note S4), which amounted to 83,525.81 GWh (95% confidence interval [CI]: 81,212.38–85,825.86 GWh) for the year (Figures 2 A and 2C).
China's power stations are a cornerstone of the nation's rapid industrialization and economic growth. As the world's largest energy consumer, understanding the intricacies of China's power generation landscape is crucial.
Traditionally powered by coal-dominated grid electricity, these stations contribute significantly to operational costs and air pollution. This study offers a comprehensive roadmap for low-carbon upgrades to China's base station infrastructure by integrating solar power, energy storage, and intelligent operation strategies.
China's pumped storage power stations grow steadily, from 18.38 GW in 2011 to 31.49 GW in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 6.2%. Thanks to new policies, pumped storage capacity has grown rapidly over the past two years, reaching 45.79 GW by the end of 2022.
