[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

• The Science and Technology Innovation Park is built by the Tianjin Jinhang Institute of Technology and Physics, a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise, and is located at No. 58 Aerospace Avenue next to the core area of Tiankai Park in Nankai District. Plan and construct a research and development building. The vehicle mounted night vision assisted driving system independently developed by Jinhang Institute of Technology Physics can identify pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles in low visibility environments such as night, haze, rain, and snow in advance.

• [Photovoltaic installed capacity becomes the largest power supply category in China]
• As of the end of July 2026, China's installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation has reached 1.286 billion kilowatts, including 704 million kilowatts of centralized photovoltaics and 582 million kilowatts of distributed photovoltaics. For the first time, the installed capacity of coal-fired power has exceeded 1.285 billion kilowatts, making it the largest installed power category in China. From January to July, the national photovoltaic power generation reached 802.4 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%, exceeding the growth rate of electricity consumption in the whole society by 10.8 percentage points. It accounted for 13% of the total electricity consumption in the whole society, an increase of 1.7 percentage points compared to the whole year last year. Editor/Cheng Liting
