People's **Beijing, February 25 (Reporter Li Hongmei) The China Meteorological Administration recently released the "2023 China Wind and Solar Resources Annual Communiqué" (hereinafter referred to as the "Communiqué"). According to the communiqué, in 2023, the country's wind energy resources will be a normal year, and solar energy resources will be a small year.
According to the communiqué, in terms of wind energy resources, in 2023, the national wind energy resources will be a normal year, and the 70-meter-high wind energy resources in southern Xinjiang, central and western Inner Mongolia, most of Sichuan, northeast Yunnan, and northern South China will be preferred in the past 10 years. From the perspective of spatial distribution, the wind energy resources in the central and eastern parts of Inner Mongolia, the eastern part of Heilongjiang, the northern part of Hebei, the northern part of Shanxi, the northern and eastern parts of Xinjiang, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the ridge areas of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are better, and the average wind power density at a height of 70 meters exceeds 300 watts and square meters, which is conducive to wind power generation. Among the new energy bases on the mainland during the 14th Five-Year Plan, new energy bases such as Xinjiang, Hexi Corridor, Yellow River Bend, and Northern Hebei have good wind energy resources.
In terms of solar energy resources, in 2023, the national solar energy resources will be on the small side, with an average annual total irradiation of about 14961 kWh square meter, 1 less than the average of the last 10 years27% (19 kWh sqm). From the perspective of spatial distribution, in 2023, the solar energy resources in the western region of China will be better than that in the central and eastern regions, and Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, the central and western regions of Northwest China, the northern part of North China, and the western part of the Southwest China will have the most abundant solar energy resources. Among the new energy bases on the mainland during the 14th Five-Year Plan, new energy bases such as Xinjiang, Hexi Corridor, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the bend of the Yellow River, and northern Hebei have better solar energy resources.
