2016 full load hours for hydro, coal, nuclear and wind power by province
Original title: 2016年全国6000千瓦及以上电厂发电设备平均利用小时情况
Links: Original CN (link). Same statistics for different years: (2015) (2014) (2013; includes national average overview since 2005).
According to the 2016 statistics bulletin for the power industry of the China Electricity Council, the average productivity for generation equipment of 6 MW and above continued to decline. The average productivity for all such generation equipment in 2016 was 3785 hours, 203 hours lower than last year, and the lowest level since 1964。
By the end of 2016, total installed capacity of hydropower was 330 GW, with average productivity of 3,621 full-load hours, an increase of 31 hours。Compared with last year, average hydropower equipment productivity rose in 18 provinces, with increases of over 1,000 hours in Fujian, and Hainan, and increases of over 500 hours in Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shandong and Guangdong. Productivity fell by more than 500 hours in Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Qinghai。
Total installed capacity of thermal power was 1,050 GW by the end of 2016, with the average productivity of 4,165 full-load hours, down 199 hours from last year, and the lowest level since 1964。In Shandong and Jiangsu, productivity exceeded 5,000 hours, and in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Hebei, Jiangxi it exceeded 4,500 hours；In Tibet, Yunnan and Sichuan it was below 2,200 hours。Compared with last year, apart from Beijing, Hebei and Tibet, other provinces had varying levels of reduction in the productivity of thermal power equipment, with a reduction of more than 1,000 hours in Hainan, and a decline of more than 500 hours in Qinghai, Fujian, Sichuan, Xinjiang and Ningxia。
By the end of 2016, total installed capacity of nuclear power was 33.64 GW, with average productivity of nuclear equipment of 7,042 full-load hours, 361 hours lower than last year。
By the end of 2016, total installed capacity of wind power was 150 GW, with average equipment productivity of 1,742 full-load hours, an increase of 18 hours compared with last year。When regarding provinces, within the group of provinces with more than 3 GW of wind power installations, average productivity exceeded the national average in Yunnan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Liaoning, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and Guizhou, but it fell below 1,500 full-load hours in Gansu, Xinjiang and Jilin, at only 1,088, 1,290, and 1,333 hours, respectively。
For 2016 nationwide productivity of power plants of 6 MW and above, and changes in productivity compared with last year, see Tables 1 and 2。
