[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 March 2, 2026, with the addition of Astana Airlines, the Shanghai to Almaty route will have more than one flight per week, and the total number of regular flights between China and Kazakhstan will increase to 84 flights per week. The air channel continues to be encrypted, greatly facilitating business exchanges, investment inspections, and personnel exchanges. It is linked with railways, highways, and ports to build a comprehensive and three-dimensional interconnected network between China and Kazakhstan.Editor/Bian Wenjun

• [Speed up of China Kazakhstan logistics corridor]
• On March 2, 2026, it was reported that Kazakhstan is making every effort to enhance the capacity of the Trans Caspian International Transport Corridor, with a planned cargo volume of 5.2 million tons this year. At the same time, Kazakhstan will promote the construction and reconstruction of more than 11000 kilometers of roads, build 475 kilometers of railways, upgrade 2900 kilometers of road network, and increase the transit capacity by 60%. The logistics time from Kazakhstan China border to the Caspian Sea will be reduced from 84 hours to 55 hours, providing stronger support for the interconnection between China EU trains and the the Belt and Road.Editor/Bian Wenjun
