[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 May 8, 2026, the first phase of Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical's annual production of 30000 tons of large fiber bundle carbon fiber project was put into operation and qualified products were produced, with performance reaching the international advanced level. The completion of two production lines marks the launch of the 48K large fiber bundle carbon fiber production line, which has the largest single line capacity in China. The project has a high localization rate and a record breaking construction speed, and has also established a green electricity and high-end new material circular industry chain, supporting the high-quality development of the carbon fiber industry.Editor/Gong Ziwei
On May 7, 2026, Chinese Ambassador to Türkiye Jiang Xuebin was invited to attend the 2026 Istanbul SAHA Defense and Aerospace Exhibition, visited the booths of several Chinese exhibitors and encouraged them to expand overseas markets. During this period, he met with relevant Turkish institutions and business leaders to have in-depth exchanges on defense cooperation between China and Turkey. The exhibition is held every two years and attracts 1763 exhibitors from over 120 countries. The scale of China's 125 participating enterprises ranks first among all overseas countries.Editor/Gong Ziwei
