All venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics achieved 100% green power supply

On February 20, the Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end, and 26 venues in the three major competition areas of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou achieved 100% green power supply
for the first time in Olympic history.

"Green" is one of
the concepts of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The green electricity that lights up the Beijing Winter Olympics venues comes from the grassland of Zhangbeiba in the "infinite scenery", where wind and solar energy can be developed on a scale of 85 million kilowatts
.
The State Grid Corporation of China Zhangbei Flexible DC Power Grid Test and Demonstration Project converts abundant wind and solar energy into green electricity, which is continuously sent to Beijing
.
As the regulation end of Zhangbei Rouzhi Power Grid, Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station has significantly enhanced the regulation capacity of North China Power Grid System and is the "super charging treasure"
of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
During the event, the State Grid Corporation of China organized and optimized the operation mode of Zhangbei Rouzhi Project and Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station, continuously improved the power transmission capacity and power supply guarantee level, and realized real-time monitoring and unified regulation of the power operation of each venue in Beijing and Zhangjiakou through the Winter Olympic Power Guarantee Service Center to ensure reliable power supply
for the Winter Olympics.

According to Liu Yumin, director of the Planning and Construction Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, the power supply of the Beijing Winter Olympics basically relies on the existing urban municipal power grid, and in accordance with the national rules on green electricity market-oriented trading, the green power supply of all venues is realized through green
power trading.

Since the first green power trading of Winter Olympic venues was launched on June 20, 2019, the Beijing Electric Power Trading Center and the capital, Hebei and Hebei Electric Power Trading Centers have organized a total of 10 batches of green power trading for the Winter Olympics, with a transaction of 780 million kWh, ensuring the full supply
of green power during the construction, test and main competition periods of all Winter Olympic venues and ancillary facilities.
The green power transaction of the Winter Olympics is supported by blockchain technology to realize the traceability of the whole process of green power in the Winter Olympic venues, so that every kilowatt-hour of green power can be verified
.

Shougang Ski Big Air is the world's first ski big air to be permanently retained and used, with a total snow production of 11,500 cubic meters
during the Winter Olympics.
"The 20,000 kWh of electricity required to complete all snowmaking tasks and the 100,000 kWh of electricity required for race maintenance and snow repair maintenance are all supplied
by clean energy.
" Zhang Lin, director of the State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company Shougang Winter Olympics Power Supply Service Center, introduced
.

It is estimated that by the end of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, all venues in the three major competition areas are expected to use 400 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity, which is equivalent to reducing the burning of standard coal by 128,000 tons and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 320,000 tons
.

The Beijing Winter Olympics successfully realized the supply of green energy access, trading, transmission and consumption, and also ensured the safe and reliable use of electricity
for all events.
After inspecting the power supply facilities of the Beijing Winter Olympics and understanding the broadcast load of the events, Vincenzo di Rozo, a power expert from Italy, the host country of the 2026 Winter Olympics, said: "No other country can achieve such a strong power guarantee
as China.
