[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

• [Morocco NOOR Atlas Photovoltaic Project Fully Launched]
• The Moroccan National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water and the Sustainable Energy Agency have officially signed a power purchase agreement for the NOOR Atlas project and started construction. The total installed capacity of the project is about 305 megawatts, covering six photovoltaic power stations in the east, southeast, and south. It adopts the EPC mode and is constructed by the MoU Enterprise Consortium, with MASEN responsible for operation and maintenance. The project integrates preferential loans from the German Renaissance Credit Bank, the European Investment Bank, and commercial loans from the Moroccan African Bank, and is planned to be connected to the grid starting from July 2027. After being put into operation, it will significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy in Morocco, strongly support the national strategic goal of achieving 52% renewable energy installed capacity by 2030, and drive the regional green economy transformation.Editor/Cheng Liting

• [Tarim River launches 27th downstream ecological water transfer]
• On March 22, 2026, the Tarim River, the longest inland river in China, launched the first phase of the 27th ecological water transfer downstream. It is reported that the spring water supply launched this time will last for 15 days, with a discharge of 20 million cubic meters, accurately matching the critical period of spring vegetation germination and providing timely water support for vegetation growth. The second phase of high flow water transportation is expected to start during the flood season in August this year. Editor/Cheng Liting
