Chengdu's power supply is primarily driven by a combination of hydropower and thermal power generation, with over 85% of its electricity currently sourced from clean energy. As the capital of Sichuan Province, which serves as China's largest hydropower base, the city leverages the region's abundant water resources and state-of-the-art technology to power its rapid industrial growth and transition toward a green economy. While coal-fired plants like the 3,200 MW Jintang Power Plant historically provided a significant portion of the baseload, the city is aggressively optimizing its energy structure by scaling up renewable sources, including wind and solar, and implementing a "strong smart grid" featuring ultra-high-voltage transmission lines. This infrastructure allows Chengdu to efficiently integrate fluctuating renewable output and meet the massive demand from its electronics, automotive, and burgeoning AI data center sectors, with major developments like the Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li and Huawei’s Research Center already achieving 100% renewable electricity consumption.
