By the end of March 2019, nationwide installed capacity of PV reached 179.7 GW, an increase of 28% year-on-year, with new installations of 5.2 GW。Of this, installed capacity of utility-scale power plants reached 126.25 GW, an increase of 23% year-on-year, with new installations of 2.4 GW;installed capacity of distributed PV reached 53.41 GW, an increase of 23% year-on-year, with new installations of 2.8 GW。

In Q1 of 2019, PV power generation was 44 TWh, an increase of 26% on the same period last year;PV curtailment was 1.24 TWh, down 380 MWh on the same period last year;the curtailment rate was 2.7%, down 1.7 percentage points on the same period last year, achieving a 'double reduction' of total curtailment and curtailment rate。Curtailment of PV was mainly concentrated in Xinjiang and Gansu, with 350 MWh curtailed in Xinjiang (excluding XPCC), or a curtailment rate of 12%, down 9.4 percentage points on the same period last year;210 MWh was curtailed in Gansu, or a curtailment rate of 7.2%, down 2.9 percentage points on the same period last year。

Looking at the distribution of new installations, 1.457 GW was installed in Northern China, accounting for 28% of nationwide installations;82 MW was installed in North-East China, accounting for 1.6% of nationwide installations;1.476 GW was installed in East China, accounting for 28.4% of nationwide installations;798 MW was installed in Central China, accounting for 15.3% of nationwide installations;825 MW was installed in North-West China, accounting for 15.9% of nationwide installations;559 MW was installed in South China, accounting for 10.8% of nationwide installations。
