It is also a part of the Yongtaiwen Expressway. component. The G15 Shenhai Expressway Ningbo Jiangshan-Ma'aoling Section Reconstruction and Expansion Project is divided into two projects: the G15 Shenhai Expressway Ningbo Jiangshan-Xiwu Section Reconstruction and Expansion Project, and the G15 Shenhai Expressway Ningbo Xiwu-Maaoling Section Reconstruction and Expansion Project. The total length of the main line of this project is 69.069km, of which the width along the old road is 53.615km, the new line is 15.454km, and the length of the Meilin branch line is 2.99km. A total of 6 intercommunications and 2 service areas are set up in this project. Among them, 3 existing intercommunications need to be reconstructed in situ, 1 relocated intercommunication, 2 newly built intercommunications, 1 expanded service area, and 1 relocated service area. The main line is equipped with 20598m/114 bridges, including 10726m/5 super-large bridges, 7589m/18 large bridges, 2283m/91 medium and small bridges; 5400.5m/5 tunnels, including 4530.5m/3 long tunnels and 870m medium and short tunnels /2 blocks; the length of bridges and tunnels accounts for 37.65% of the total length of the route. The project investment is estimated to be about 19.698 billion yuan, of which construction and installation costs are about 12.006 billion yuan. Editor / Zhao E
The core equipment of the Yangshan Island offshore converter station in Yangjiang set sail from Nantong, Jiangsu, heading towards the Yangjiang sea area in Guangdong. The world's first new type of converter valve with energy self balancing function has officially entered the offshore installation stage. This equipment is developed by Changzhou Borui Electric Power and will be applied to the world's largest offshore wind power direct current transmission project. The project is scheduled to be put into operation in October 2025 and can provide approximately 6 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity to the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area annually, significantly reducing regional carbon emissions. Yes, it is equivalent to saving 1.74 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 4.62 million tons. Editor/Cheng Liting
Recently, with the commissioning of the Huaneng Dezhou Xiaomiao Zhuang 30000 kW wind power project, the total installed capacity of wind and photovoltaic power in Shandong has reached 130.56 million kW, accounting for 50.18% of the province's total installed capacity of electricity, achieving a historic achievement of more than half of the installed capacity of wind and solar power. As a major industrial and energy consuming province, Shandong has previously achieved a new energy installed capacity surpassing coal-fired power. The proportion of wind and solar installed capacity has exceeded 50%, marking the continuous deepening of the local green and low-carbon transformation, which will inject solid green power support into industrial green upgrading.
