[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

• [Vale achieves 100% renewable energy in Brazil]
• Brazilian mining giant Vale disclosed on the 15th local time that by 2023, all of its electricity in Brazil will come from renewable energy sources, such as hydro, wind and solar energy, and Vale has reached its goal of "achieving 100% renewable energy supply in Brazil" two years ahead of schedule. Vale's latest Comprehensive Report 2023 says that with this goal, Vale has eliminated all indirect greenhouse gas emissions generated by the company in Brazil. The company is still faced with the challenge of achieving 100 percent renewable energy supply worldwide by 2030, which is now 88.5 percent achieved. "This is an important milestone in Vale's decarbonisation strategy, which aims to reduce direct and indirect CO2 emissions by 33% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050." Ludmila Nascimento, Director of Energy and Decarbonization at Vale, said that Vale is committed to helping Brazil develop clean energy and contribute to society's response to climate change.
