Guangxi’s total installed power generation capacity has surpassed 100 gigawatts for the first time, reaching 100.004 GW, according to China Southern Power Grid’s Guangxi branch. The milestone was marked by the successful grid connection of the No. 12 turbine at the 220 kV Zhuangling Wind Farm in Pubei County.
Renewables now make up the largest share of Guangxi’s energy mix, with a combined installed capacity of 45.238 GW—accounting for 45.7% of the region’s total. This shift highlights the growing dominance of clean energy in the province’s power system.
Since the launch of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, Guangxi’s renewable energy capacity has grown at an average annual rate of more than 41%. The region is steadily developing a hybrid energy landscape that combines centralized and distributed generation, while expanding from land-based wind to offshore projects. As of now, Guangxi’s energy mix comprises 28.4% coal, 19% hydropower, 4.5% nuclear, and 45.7% renewables. Renewables have become not only the province’s largest energy source, but also its main driver of capacity growth.
Strategically positioned as a key hub in China’s Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor and a core route for the "West-to-East Power Transmission" initiative, Guangxi has accelerated efforts to build a secure and resilient provincial energy system. The region is deepening its energy transition, with a focus on cleaner, low-carbon, and more efficient power generation. Its grid now integrates a broader and greener mix of sources—including hydropower, thermal, nuclear, wind, and solar—reflecting a modernized, future-oriented energy structure.
