This year, China stepped up the construction of nuclear power projects. 57 units were approved for construction, and the total installed capacity in operation and approved for construction reached 135 million kilowatts. The scale of nuclear power project construction has steadily ranked first in the world. As an important energy source for promoting the green transformation of the economy and society, China's nuclear power accounts for less than 2% of the country's installed electricity, contributing nearly 5% of the country's electricity generation. The four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Liaoning, and Hainan all account for more than 15% of nuclear power generation. Nuclear power has become an important source of clean energy supply in the eastern coastal region. At the end of July, China approved 8 new nuclear power units. This is also the first batch of approved nuclear power projects during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, China's nuclear power construction continued to maintain the principle of “active, safe and orderly development”, steadily promoted the construction of nuclear power along the eastern coast, promoted comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy according to local conditions, and steadily increased the share of nuclear power in energy and electricity consumption.
