In 2016, Liaoning's "scenery" performance was outstanding, and the installed capacity of photovoltaics reached 520,000 kilowatts

In 2016, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in Liaoning Province increased by 917,000 kilowatts, and the total installed capacity exceeded the 10 million kilowatt mark (10.
482 million kilowatts); Renewable energy generated a net increase of 4.
4 billion kWh, bringing total power generation to nearly 20 billion kWh (19.
49 billion kWh).

Both indicators exceeded expectations and successfully achieved the "13th Five-Year Plan"
.

The two new energy development of wind power and photovoltaic power generation have performed outstandingly
.
The two power generation installations combined increased by 916,000 kW and the power generation increased by 1.
97 billion kWh
.
Among them, with the joint efforts of the provincial power company and other aspects, the proportion of wind power curtailment in the province is significantly lower than that of the previous year, operating for more than 1,900 hours, and continuing to maintain a healthy and orderly development trend in the "three north areas
".
The installed capacity of photovoltaics has jumped from 163,000 kilowatts to 520,000 kilowatts, more than
doubling.

The results are hard-won and cannot be underestimated
.
First, it has laid a good foundation for completing the binding goal of non-fossil energy in energy consumption in the "13th Five-Year Plan", and fully reflects the new results
of supply-side structural reform in the province's energy field.
At the end of 2016, renewable energy power generation accounted for 22.
8% of the province's installed power generation capacity, an increase of 0.
7 percentage points for the year; Renewable energy accounted for 11.
2% of the province's power generation, an increase of 1.
9 percentage points
that year.
Including nuclear power, the province's non-fossil energy power generation capacity has accounted for 32.
5%, and power generation accounted for 22.
8%.

The improvement rate of both indicators significantly exceeds the national average
.

Second, it has made greater contributions
to addressing climate change and preventing and controlling air pollution.
The development of clean energy, especially renewable energy, is a key part
of Liaoning's efforts to address climate change and combat air pollution.
In 2016, increasing renewable energy generation was equivalent to reducing coal consumption by nearly 9 million tons, reducing carbon dioxide by 16.
8 million tons and sulfur dioxide by 142,000 tons
.

At present, the proportion of non-fossil energy power generation in the province's electricity consumption has increased from 6% in 2010 to 20%, of which a net increase of nearly 5 percentage points
in 2016.
That is, for every 10 kWh of electricity consumed, 1 kWh of electricity comes from renewable energy and 1 kWh comes from nuclear power, and urban and rural residents use more clean energy
in their daily lives.

Third, it has played an important role
in stimulating fixed asset investment and promoting regional economic development.
Over the past few years, due to the focus on the three northwestern cities of Liaoning, the two northern counties of Shenyang and the three northern counties of Jinzhou, wind power and photovoltaic projects have become pillar industries
that drive fixed investment, increase tax sources, increase employment and cultivate new momentum for economic development.
At the end of 2016, the installed capacity of wind power in the above areas reached 5.
81 million kilowatts, accounting for 83.
5% of the province; The installed capacity of ordinary photovoltaic power plants reached 279,000 kilowatts, accounting for 62.
8%
of the province.
Among them, the total installed capacity of new energy in Fuxin City reached 1.
9 million kilowatts, ranking first in the province; The power generation capacity is 3.
65 billion kWh, accounting for 73.
7%
of the region's electricity consumption.

At the same time, the above areas are also the areas where the poor households of Liaoning Province are more concentrated, and with the in-depth advancement of the next national photovoltaic poverty alleviation and even energy poverty alleviation related work, it will provide new strong support
for the province to win the battle against poverty.
