Henan Province's renewable energy installed capacity has crossed the 100 GW mark. As of June 30, 2026, total renewable capacity reached 101.01 GW, with wind and solar combined at 90.19 GW, surpassing 90 GW for the first time. Within renewables, hydropower capacity was 7.77 GW—comprising 2.85 GW of conventional hydro and 4.92 GW of pumped storage—and biomass power capacity was 3.05 GW.
Wind and solar account for nearly 90% of Henan's renewable capacity, ranking first in central China. Renewables now make up about 60% of the province's total power generation capacity. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, wind and solar capacity tripled; by end-2025, they overtook thermal power as the largest power source in the province.
Renewable energy generation has also grown significantly. In 2025, wind and solar generation exceeded 100 TWh, up 22.4% year-on-year, meeting all new electricity demand that year. On July 4, 2026, combined wind and solar output hit a record high of 41.4 GW, with solar at 31.96 GW and wind at 9.44 GW, accounting for over 60% of real-time electricity load.
To facilitate large-scale integration, State Grid Henan Electric Power Company introduced 24 measures for efficient renewable utilization, coordinating generation, grid, load, and storage. Major pumped storage plants such as Wuyue and Luoning have been put into operation, and 3.44 GW of new-type energy storage projects have been connected. Inter-provincial power trading has been expanded, and electricity markets adapted to high renewable penetration are being established, broadening outbound transmission channels. Henan also pioneered a province-wide distributed PV cluster control system covering one million households to maintain renewable curtailment ratios and volumes.
Supporting transmission projects include the completion of the Songxian Jiugao Wind Farm-Diecui Substation 110 kV line, ensuring stable grid connection.
