[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 October 29, 2026, the Zhanjiang section of Lanhai Expressway officially started construction and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by 2030. The total length of the route is 152 kilometers, with four lanes in both directions, making it the second expressway from mainland China to Hainan Island. The project aims to build Guangdong's first fully chain intelligent construction site laboratory, selecting routes to avoid mangrove and coral reef protection areas, optimizing design to reduce land use by 996 acres. After completion, it will improve the transportation system across the Qiongzhou Strait and provide stronger road network support for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. Editor/Cheng Liting
In October 2026, Liaogang Group's Dayaowan 6.25-megawatt decentralized wind power project entered the substantive construction stage. The project will build one new wind turbine and supporting facilities, with an annual power generation of about 15 million kilowatt hours and an annual reduction of 7250 tons of carbon dioxide emissions after commissioning. At present, Liaogang Group has built a photovoltaic installed capacity of 36.6 megawatts, generating over 40 million kilowatt hours of green electricity annually. After the completion of the next two distributed photovoltaic projects, the total photovoltaic installed capacity will exceed 49.9 megawatts, and the port's self-sufficiency in green electricity will continue to improve.
