Since the commercial operation of its first unit on March 25th, 2014, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station, owned by CGN Power, has cumulatively generated 338.586 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. In 2023, it became the first nuclear power station in China whose annual power generation exceeded 50 billion kilowatt-hours, providing green energy for the sustainable development of the GBA.

Following the commercial operation of its first unit in March 2014, all six units of Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station were put into commercial operation in 2019. In 2023, the average capacity factor of the power station reached 94.8%, setting a new record since its full commercial operation. 82% of the WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) indicators of the entire station reached advanced global levels, and the comprehensive indices of the six units all scored full marks.

Zhao Fuming, President of CGN Yangjiang Nuclear Power Co.,Ltd.,revealed that as the nuclear power station with the highest number of approved units in China, the construction of the six units at Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station serves as a typical model of high-quality development in China's nuclear power technology, which lays a solid foundation for the development of "Hualong One",the domestically developed third-generation nuclear reactor technology with independent intellectual property rights.

Zhao Fuming further disclosed that Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station has also improved its cluster management mode, to invigorate new momentum for safety production. In recent years, the production command center and major overhaul management center have been successively put into operation, forming the first fully operational platform for cluster management in China's nuclear power industry.

In 2023, the power generation of Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station reached 50.033 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 12.3% of the country's annual on-grid energy, making it the highest-producing nuclear power station in terms of installed capacity and power generation. Moreover, it is now the first nuclear power station to exceed an annual power generation of 50 billion kilowatt-hours.

By the end of 2023, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station had cumulatively generated 338.586 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, achieving a reduction of coal consumption by over 100 million tons compared to a coal-fired power plant of the same scale. Additionally, it has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 279 million tons, which is equivalent to afforestation covering approximately 761,800 hectares, about 95% of the area of Yangjiang City.

中国阳江核电站年度上网电量首破500亿度

中广核广东阳江核电站自2014年3月25日首台机组商运以来，已累计实现上网电量3385.86亿度，并于2023年成为国内首个单年度上网电量突破500亿度的核电站，为粤港澳大湾区的可持续发展提供绿色动能。

据介绍，自2014年3月25日1号机组商运以来，按照每年投产一台的节奏，阳江核电站6台机组于2019年全面商运。2023年，阳江核电站机组平均能力因子达94.8%，创全面商运以来的最优纪录。全厂82%的WANO(世界核电运营者协会)指标达世界先进水平，6台机组WANO综合指数均达到满分。

据阳江核电有限公司党委书记、董事长赵福明介绍，作为中国一次核准建设机组数量最多的核电站，阳江核电站建设的6台机组，是中国核电技术路线高质量发展的典型样本，为研发具有中国自主知识产权的三代核电技术“华龙一号”奠定了坚实基础。

赵福明透露，阳江核电站还总结并完善群堆管理模式，激发安全生产新动能。近几年，生产指挥中心、大修管理中心相继投用，建成了中国首家核电群堆管理全流程实体化运作平台。

2023年，阳江核电站上网电量达到500.33亿度，占全国核电年度上网电量的12.3%，是国内发电量及上网电量最高的核电站，也是首个年度上网电量突破500亿度的核电站。

截至2023年底，阳江核电站已累计实现上网电量3385.86亿度，与同等规模燃煤电厂相比，等效减少标煤消耗超1亿吨，减排二氧化碳约2.79亿吨，相当于造林约76.18万公顷，可覆盖阳江市面积的95%。
