In 2023, the electricity consumption of the whole society in mainland China will be 9,224.1 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 67%；The national GDP is 1260582100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52%。Which province contributes the most to the electricity used? It is not Sichuan, which has the most hydropower stations, but Inner Mongolia, which is rich in coal resources. From January to December 2023, the total power generation capacity of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will be 7,450500 million kWh, ranking first in the country!
Coal power remains the largest chunk of China's electricity mix.
1.Inner Mongolia has the largest power generation in the country, not only coal power, but also wind power and photovoltaic power, and what you didn't expect is that it also has hydropower.
In 2023, the total power generation capacity of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will be 7450500 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 143%。Among them, thermal power is 593.5 billion kWh, accounting for 7966%；Wind power 1271200 million kWh, accounting for 1706%；Solar power generation 2054.6 billion kWh, accounting for 276%；Hydropower 38900 million kWh, accounting for 052%。

Coal power still accounts for the largest share. This shows that there is still great room for development of wind power and photovoltaic power in Inner Mongolia. One of the negative aspects of Inner Mongolia is that the output of electricity is too far away from the economically developed places in the south, which may affect the pace of its energy development.
2.The total power generation of Guangdong Province is 6718600 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 95%。As the most economically developed province in China, Guangdong Province has the second largest power generation in the country, which is normal.
Among them, thermal power generation is 4943100 million kWh, accounting for 7357%；Nuclear power generation capacity 1180500 million kWh, accounting for an increase of 1757%；Others, wind power generation 305200 million kWh, hydropower 200600 million kWh, solar power generation 891.5 billion kilowatt hours, which is not a large proportion.

3.The total power generation capacity of Jiangsu Province is 6106300 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 33%。Jiangsu is the second most economically developed province in China, and the power industry is naturally very large, ranking second normal.
Among them, thermal power generation capacity is 495 billion kWh; Wind power generation 518300 million kWh; Nuclear power generation capacity 502800 million kWh; Solar power generation 104876.9 billion kWh; Hydropower generation 30400 million kWh.
Similar to Guangdong's vigorous development of nuclear energy, Jiangsu also attaches great importance to the development of wind power generation, which should have a significant relationship with Jiangsu's rich coastal wind energy resources and strong wind turbine industry.

4.The total power generation capacity of Shandong Province is 5915700 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 29%。Shandong's electricity generation accounts for the fourth largest in the country, in line with its economic aggregate, which accounts for the third largest in the country.
Among them, thermal power generation is 5070200 million kWh; Wind power generation 461900 million kWh, nuclear power generation 192900 million kWh, hydropower 153717.7 billion kWh, with 3.7 billion kWh of power generation.
5.Xinjiang's power generation capacity is 4912100 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 45%。Like Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang is also the region with the richest coal, wind and photovoltaic resources in China, and its power generation is in line with everyone's expectations.
Among them, thermal power generation is 3789600 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 39%；Wind power generation 604500 million kWh, hydropower generation 316900 million kWh; Solar power generation 201099.9 billion kWh.
Xinjiang has a steady stream of electricity sent to the mainland.
The above 8 provinces and regions are basically large power generation provinces with an annual power generation capacity of 500 billion yuan. The major provinces with a power generation capacity of 400 billion kWh also include Sichuan, Shanxi, Zhejiang and Yunnan.
6.The total power generation of Sichuan Province is 4712600 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 1%; Among them, 3583 hydroelectric power generation300 million kWh, accounting for 7608%。

As the capital of China, Beijing has a long-term policy to control power generation, especially coal power, in order to defend the blue sky, so it is normal for it to generate less electricity and use more electricity, and it is a net energy import market.
There is a gap between the chart and the actual data.
Conclusion: In 2022, countries around the world will generate a total of 291651 billion kWh of electricity (data for 2023 is not yet available). Given that the world economy is not growing well in 2023, it is estimated that China's power generation will account for about 30%, which is very strong. Because China is rich in coal, hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaics, in the long run, it can be completely self-sufficient in power generation, and will not be strangled by the United States and Western powers.
