[Wind power system has become the second largest power source in Yunnan]Recently, new energy projects in Yunnan have been put into operation and connected to the grid smoothly. The power generation in Yunnan has reached a new high. At present, the installed wind power system has reached 11.21 million kW, becoming the second largest power source in Yunnan after hydropower. The energy authorities of Yunnan Province will further standardize the competition and distribution of photovoltaic resources in the province, strengthen factor guarantee, and coordinate and promote the synchronous construction of source network projects. We will ensure that 7 million kW will be connected to the grid in the first half of 2023 and 15 million kW will be put into production within the year. Data show that in the first quarter of 2023, the average utilization hours of wind power equipment in Yunnan reached 914 hours, much higher than the national average level of 615 hours. In the first four months of this year, wind power generated 12.427 billion KWH, up 18.78% year on year, becoming the main source of incremental power in Yunnan Province. Yunnan Province has excellent wind energy resources. The wind resources are proportional to the altitude, and the wind speed, the average wind power density and the utilization hours in the upper altitude area all increase. Because most of the mountain Basi areas in Yunnan Province are between 1000m and 2000m above sea level, the high altitude downwind resources have a significant topographic effect, resulting in a higher utilization hours. Data show that the number of hours of wind power utilization in Yunnan ranks the top two in China all year round. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
On April 9, 2026, National Energy Group Yongzhou Power Generation and Hunan Zhongtai Technology signed a polyimide film green power direct connection project at Yongzhou Land Port, witnessed by the Yongzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and representatives of State Grid. Yongzhou Power Generation is responsible for building a "wind solar storage" collaborative power supply system to achieve direct connection of green electricity. Zhongtai Technology will use this to reduce electricity costs, lock in price risks, and obtain traceable green electricity certificates to meet export carbon compliance and enhance ESG image, helping both parties achieve industrial synergy and green development.Editor/Cheng Liting
TikTok recently invested $125 million in Ho Chi Minh City to focus on improving its logistics, payment, and digital commerce systems, aiming to address pain points such as low fulfillment efficiency and complex COD management in Vietnamese e-commerce. Against the backdrop of Vietnam's e-commerce scale reaching 32 billion US dollars and dominated by Shopee and TikTok, the new E-commerce Law plans to introduce strict regulations, extending supervision to live streaming e-commerce content and seller qualifications. Cross border sellers face higher thresholds for local registration and data compliance, and the platform's responsibility boundaries are further clarified.Editor/Cheng Liting
