Nueva capacidad instalada de energía eólica y solar de China aumenta 22% en 2025
(260206) -- JIUJIANG, Feb. 6, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This drone photo shows the wind turbines on Mianchuan Island of Jiujiang City, east China's Jiangxi Province, Jan. 29, 2026. Mianchuan Island, located in the Jiangxi section of the Yangtze River and surrounded by water, covers an area of 104 square kilometers. It can be reached by a ten-minute ferry ride from Madang Ferry Terminal in Jiujiang City. Previously, the island relied on a single 35-kilovolt power supply line, which was prone to voltage fluctuations and outages during extreme weather, restricting both residents' daily life and industrial development. In 2021, a local wind power project was planned and constructed, integrating wind, solar, energy storage, agriculture, and tourism resources to create a green model of a "zero-carbon island" in the Yangtze River Basin. In May 2025, with the grid connection of the final wind turbine, the large-scale renewable energy-powered "zero-carbon island" in the Yangtze River Basin officially began operation. The project includes 18 wind turbines and photovoltaic facilities, generating 244 million kilowatt-hours annually, equivalent to saving 96,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 240,000 tons each year. Since its launch, the project has produced 150 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, fully meeting the power needs of the island's 32,000 residents and supplying over 100 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity off the island. Moreover, the entire project has created more than 500 new jobs. Currently, the island's zero-carbon facilities, including energy storage systems, photovoltaic carports, and charging stations, operate efficiently, revitalizing Mianchuan Island through green development.
