The potential for the development of new energy in Datong is as follows:
Datong City is rich in geothermal resources, solar energy, wind energy and other new energy resources, which provides favorable conditions for the development of new energy. According to the data, Datong City has actively carried out distributed photovoltaic construction on rooftops throughout the county (district) and built a number of photovoltaic and wind power projects connected to the grid for power generation. It is expected that by the end of this year, the city's new energy installed capacity will further increase, with new energy power generation increasing by 14.8% compared with last year. This shows that Datong City’s new energy industry continues to grow in scale and has high development potential.
