Total energy used

On NCUE’s Jinde Campus, the total electricity consumption for 2024 was 8,988,411 kWh, while on the Baoshan Campus, the total electricity consumption for 2024 was 4,277,476 kWh. The total electricity consumption for the entire University in 2024 was 13,265,887 kWh, equivalent to 47757.19 GJ.

Total energy used from low-carbon sources

1. In 2017, Jinde Campus installed a photovoltaic solar power system that generated 467kwp of power, with an average annual power generation of 583,750 kWh (2101.5GJ), accounting for 4.4% of the total power consumption of the University in 2024.

2. From 2021-2022, NCUE's Jinde Campus increased solar power annual generation to 3,197,968 kWh (11,512 GJ), and Baoshan Campus increased to 714,375 kWh (2,572 GJ), accounting for 29.44% of the university's total electricity consumption in 2024. (as detailed in Table 1)

3. NCUE is currently planning for 2026-2030, with Jinde Campus expected to further increase solar power annual generation to 3,478,433 kWh (12,522 GJ), and Baoshan Campus expected to increase to 1,636,875 kWh (5,893 GJ).

4. It is estimated that by 2030, NCUE's total solar power generation will reach 5,115,308 kWh (18,415GJ), exceeding 38% of the university's total electricity consumption in 2024, as detailed in Table 1. Table 1 presents NCUE's 2021-2030 Total Low-Carbon Energy Usage.

5. NCUE is striving for carbon neutrality. Prior to 2020, during peak hours, solar energy generated on Jinde campus was 467 kw, and low-carbon energy accounted for approximately 15.57% of total power consumption (3,000 kW); whereas Baoshan campus consumed 1,000 kw, which was not from low-carbon sources.

6. It was expected that in academic year 2021–2022, total solar energy generated on Jinde Campus would increase to 2558.375 kw during peak hours, whereas power consumption will reduce to 2,600 kw, which would push low-carbon energy sources to 98.18% of the total energy consumed. On Baoshan Campus, solar power generation was expected to increase to 571.5 kw during peak hours, whereas power consumption was expected to reduce to 900 kw, increasing low-carbon energy sources to 63.5% of the total power consumed.

7. In 2024, NCUE's Jinde Campus solar power peak generation reached 2558.375 kW, while peak electricity consumption was reduced to 2,200 kW, with low-carbon energy accounting for over 100%. Baoshan Campus peak generation reached 571.5 kW, with peak electricity consumption reduced to 785 kW, achieving a low-carbon energy ratio exceeding 72.8%, as detailed in Table 2.
