Xinjiang Power Exports Top 130.77 TWh in First Three Quarters, Up 20.61% YoY

Xinjiang exported 130.772 billion kWh of electricity in the first three quarters of the year, up 20.61% year on year. Three ultra-high-voltage DC lines — the ±1100kV Zhundong–Wannan, ±800kV Hami South–Zhengzhou and ±800kV Hami–Chongqing corridors — carried 53.89 billion, 35.33 billion and 27.67 billion kWh respectively, together accounting for nearly 90% of total outbound power.

The concentration is the story: three UHV DC corridors carrying nearly 90% of outbound power means Xinjiang's export growth is effectively a bet on a handful of transmission assets running near their design role. That matters for grid operators and for the receiving provinces that lean on this supply, and it ties the region's power economics to long-haul infrastructure performance rather than to local generation alone. Whether the roughly one-fifth growth rate persists as those lines approach their practical limits is the open question.
