[Huaneng Lingao 600MW Sea Breeze project started!]On December 5, Huaneng started construction on Lingao Offshore Wind Farm, Hainan's first offshore wind power project, which is planned to install 600,000 kilowatts and will be fully completed by 2024. At the commencement ceremony, Deng Jianling, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Group of China Huaneng Group Co., LTD., and relevant leaders of Hainan Provincial Party Committee and provincial government and heads of relevant departments jointly laid the foundation for the project. Huaneng Lingao offshore wind power project is one of the "14th Five-Year Plan" construction and production projects approved by the National Energy Administration in the "Hainan Offshore Wind Farm Project Planning", and is also one of the "14th Five-Year Plan" offshore wind power demonstration projects in Hainan Province. The project is located in the northwest sea area of Lingao County, Hainan Province. After completion, it can provide nearly 1.9 billion KWH of green electricity to Hainan every year, which is equivalent to saving 560,000 tons of standard coal and reducing 1.56 million tons of carbon dioxide. It has significant economic, social and environmental benefits, and is of great significance to the construction of Hainan's clean energy island and the extension and development of offshore wind power industry chain.

On June 25, 2026, the 750 kV transmission and transformation project in Changbei, Xinjiang, with a total investment of 1.3125 billion yuan, began construction and is scheduled to be put into operation in 2028. The project involves the construction of a 750 kV substation and 56.8 kilometers of supporting lines, which can accommodate 10 million kilowatts of new energy and serve the local 20 million kilowatts of planned photovoltaics. The project aims to address the shortcomings of the new energy transmission network in the Gurbantunggut Desert, while also considering the growth of regional electricity consumption. In 2026, Xinjiang will promote 35 ultra-high voltage and extra high voltage power grid projects, continuously improve the local new power system, and help promote dual carbon development.Editor/Gong Ziwei
On June 25, 2026, the Zhejiang Tiantai Pumped Storage Power Station with a total installed capacity of 1.7 million kilowatts was put into operation. This power station is the world's highest rated head and the largest single unit capacity pumped storage power station in China. It is also the first pumped storage project to be put into operation during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Constructed by Three Gorges Group, we have overcome a series of ultra-high water head technologies and achieved breakthroughs in the localization of multiple materials and construction equipment. The power station can provide 1.7 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, strengthen the regulation capacity of Zhejiang power grid, and assist in the consumption of new energy and the green transformation of energy.Editor/Gong Ziwei
