Qinghai is capitalizing on its plateau resource strengths, positioning the "Four Major Industrial Bases" as a central pillar for building a modern industrial system and developing new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, according to Wu Misen, Deputy Director of the Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission, at a press conference on the 20th. He highlighted that the province's clean energy and green computing power sectors have seen significant improvements in both innovation and sustainability.

At the "15th Five-Year Plan Kickoff" themed press conference on development and reform, Wu Misen detailed Qinghai's coordinated approach to expanding generation capacity, broadening grid connections, increasing electricity consumption, and strengthening energy storage. The province took the lead nationwide in introducing a special support policy for concentrated solar power (CSP), with a CSP technology innovation center inaugurated and the province's operational and under-construction CSP capacity ranking first in the country. Key projects, including the two 10-million-kilowatt power transmission bases in Golmud East and Hainan Prefecture, are progressing steadily. Major construction has fully commenced on the Waxiang and Nanshankou pumped-storage power stations, while feasibility studies for the Qinghai-Guangxi and Qinghai-Guangdong transmission channels are being accelerated. Qinghai's installed clean energy capacity has now surpassed 80 million kilowatts, placing it among the top tiers nationwide in terms of proportion.

Zhou Wu, Director of the Economic Operations Regulation Bureau of the Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission, noted that the province has innovated its electricity trading models to continuously expand clean energy outbound transmission and support the national power supply security framework. From June to July, Qinghai's outbound electricity exceeded 10.06 billion kilowatt-hours, with July alone setting a new monthly record of 6.05 billion kilowatt-hours. This demonstrates notable progress in both clean energy consumption and cross-regional supply assurance.

In the green computing sector, Qinghai is accelerating the construction of the nation's first pilot project for coordinated green power and computing development. The province has established "twin city" partnerships for computing network collaboration with Zhongwei in Ningxia and Qingyang in Gansu, propelling the "Three Brothers of Northwest Green Computing" into a fast track of industrial growth. Facilities such as the Xining Intelligent Computing Center and the Qinghai Xinsheng Haidong AI Computing Center are being rapidly developed, with the China Power Wanjie Intelligent Computing Center project also underway. To date, the province has built 49,000 standard racks with a utilization rate of 76%, achieving a total computing power scale exceeding 28,000 Petaflops.
