the annual renewable energy power generation of the Three Gorges group ranks first in the world. on January 14, the Three Gorges group announced that as of January 12, the installed capacity of renewable energy of the Three Gorges group had exceeded 100 million kilowatts. In 2021, the renewable energy power generation capacity of the Three Gorges group exceeded 340 billion kwh, with a year-on-year increase of 9.5%, ranking first in the world. It is estimated that 340 billion kwh of clean electric energy can replace about 100 million tons of standard coal and reduce about 280 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Petrochina Company Limited(601857) all oil and gas fields enter the peak period in advance. It was learned from Petrochina Company Limited(601857) on January 13 that since the beginning of winter, Petrochina Company Limited(601857) has strengthened the protection of natural gas supply in response to the cold wave and other tests, creating four new records of daily gas production, single day gas production of gas storage, daily natural gas supply and resource unloading. On December 27, 2021, the natural gas supply on that day reached 830 million cubic meters, setting a peak value of daily gas supply, accounting for 62% of the country. At present, the industrial chain is generally safe, stable and controllable, and makes every effort to ensure the supply of Beijing Winter Olympic Games and winter Paralympic Games.
