Guangxi's installed new energy capacity has surpassed 50 million kilowatts, reaching 52.092 million kilowatts by the end of May 2025—a year-on-year increase of 70.6%, according to China Southern Power Grid’s Guangxi branch. This includes 22.295 million kilowatts of wind power, up 62%, and 27.208 million kilowatts of solar power, up 91.3%.
Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Guangxi has continued to advance its energy transition, with new energy development accelerating at an average annual growth rate of 40.9%. By the end of 2024, new energy had become the region’s largest source of installed capacity, totaling 42.011 million kilowatts.
The pace of grid integration has picked up significantly this year. In May alone, 5.678 million kilowatts of new energy capacity were connected to the grid—a year-on-year surge of 567.8% and the highest monthly figure on record.
To support this rapid expansion, China Southern Power Grid’s Guangxi branch is ramping up investment in power infrastructure, with more than RMB 14.5 billion earmarked for grid development in 2025. A total of 315 key transmission and substation projects at 110 kilovolts and above are planned or under construction, marking the largest grid buildout in the region during the current Five-Year Plan period.
“In response to the challenges posed by large-scale integration of new energy into the grid, we’ve enhanced our forecasting system by combining AI algorithms with manual forecasting,” said Zou Qinglin, Deputy General Manager of the Guangxi Power Dispatch and Control Center. “This has improved the accuracy of predictions for wind, solar, hydro, and load conditions, helping to ensure stable power supply and maximize the consumption of renewable energy.”
