Overview of Electric Power Energy Structure and Hydropower Construction Trends
Keywords:
Hydropower, Energy structure, Dam construction, Carbon peak, Carbon neutralityAbstract
This paper investigates the global electric power energy structure, analyzing its distribution and development. It further explores the status quo and trends of hydropower construction, focusing on aspects such as installed capacity, power generation, and the level of development. Taking Iceland and Finland as examples, where renewable energy accounts for a significant proportion, the study examines the energy distribution structure with a high level of renewable energy and hydropower development, providing valuable insights for energy transformation. Additionally, the paper briefly describes the historical development of dam construction (hydropower) scale and the current status of hydropower construction in China. It also analyzes China’s energy transformation trends and hydropower development plans in the context of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality” goals.
