青藏高原多条大江大河流经高山峡谷,蕴藏着丰富的水能资源。西藏水能资源技术可开发量为1.74亿千瓦,位居全国第一,近年来建成了多布、金河、直孔等中型水电站,至2017年年底,全区水电装机容量达到177万千瓦,占全区总装机容量的56.54%。青海水能资源技术可开发量为2400万千瓦,建成了龙羊峡、拉西瓦、李家峡等一批大型水电工程,至2016年年底,青海省水电装机容量达1192万千瓦。四川省甘孜州和阿坝州水能技术可开发量约5663万千瓦,已建成水电总装机容量达1708万千瓦。
青藏高原是世界上太阳能最丰富的地区之一,年太阳总辐射量高达5400-8000兆焦/平方米,比同纬度低海拔地区高50%-100%。青海省在柴达木盆地实施数个百万千瓦级光伏电站群建设工程,打造国际最大规模的光伏电站。至2016年年底,青海光伏发电装机容量达682万千瓦。2014年,西藏被国家列为不受光伏发电建设规模限制的地区,优先支持西藏开发光伏发电项目。到2017年年底,西藏光伏发电装机容量达79万千瓦。四川省甘孜州和阿坝州太阳能可开发量超过2000万千瓦,已建成投产35万千瓦光伏电站。
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, many big rivers, running through high mountains and canyons, boast significant potential for hydropower development. Tibet leads the country with 174 million kW of potential hydropower. In recent years, Tibet has built three medium-scale hydropower stations, i.e., Duobu, Jinhe and Drigung. By the end of 2017, Tibet’s installed hydropower capacity was 1.77 million kW, accounting for 56.54 percent of the region’s total installed capacity.
With 24 million kW of exploitable hydropower resources, Qinghai Province has built three large hydropower projects, i.e., Longyang Gorge, Laxiwa, and Lijia Gorge. By the end of 2016, Qinghai’s installed hydropower capacity was 11.92 million kW.
Sichuan Province’s Garze Prefecture and Aba Prefecture boast 56.63 million kW of exploitable hydropower, and 17.08 million kW of installed capacity in completed hydropower stations.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area is a world-leading source of solar energy, with 5,400-8,000MJ per sq m of annual total solar radiation, 50-100 percent higher than low-elevation areas on the same latitude. Qinghai Province has launched several photovoltaic (PV) power station projects in the Qaidam Basin, each with a capacity of at least one million kW, and is planning to build the world’s largest PV power station. By the end of 2016, Qinghai’s installed PV capacity had reached 6.82 million kW.
In 2014, Tibet received approval from the state to develop PV power stations without limit in scale of construction and enjoying priority state support. By the end of 2017, Tibet’s installed PV capacity was 790,000 kW.
Sichuan Province’s Garze Prefecture and Aba Prefecture have more than 20 million kW of exploitable solar energy, and PV power stations with a total capacity of 350,000 kW are in service.
旅游业助力绿色发展
