NORTHEAST China's Liaoning Province has linked its abandoned wind and solar power production capacities to its heating power supply.

The government-managed winter heating is mostly coal-powered for the sake of stability, which inevitably increases thermal electricity output. As a result, many new energy plants have ceased operation and gone into hibernation for the winter.

The project, in Faku County, will utilize 20 million kwh of new energy every year with the help of electricity storage boilers, and can heat a floor area of 200,000 square meters.

The process has the potential to slash coal consumption by 7,000 tonnes and emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide by up to 18,000 tonnes every year.

The province abandoned nearly 1.42 billion kwh of wind power from January to November 2015, an increase of 850 million year on year, the local power authorities said, adding that this new method will be promoted province-wide to ease air pollution during the heating season.
