    (240608) -- YANCHENG, June 8, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Workers work at an assembly workshop of Goldwind Co., Ltd. in Yancheng, east China's Jiangsu Province, June 5, 2024. Yancheng, situated on the Yellow Sea coast, boasts the longest coastline and largest sea area of east China's Jiangsu Province. It is abundant in coastal wind energy, solar energy, and biomass resources, with an average annual wind speed exceeding 7.6 meters per second at 100 meters high and an average annual sunshine duration of approximately 2,280 hours here. In recent years, the local government has made progress to make the new energy industry a key sector for Yancheng by building world-class industrial clusters including wind power equipment, crystalline silicon photovoltaics, coastal green hydrogen production and new energy storage within the Yangtze River Delta. As of April 2024, Yancheng's total installed capacity for renewable power generation stands at 14.765 million kilowatts. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM/Li Ga)

        AmazingAnhui | First-person view: Electrical workers inspect power transmission line over Yangtze River

        (240603) -- WUHU, June 3, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on April 10, 2024 shows electrical workers inspecting a power transmission line in Jiujiang District of Wuhu City, east China's Anhui Province. Electrical workers staged a "high-wire walk" above the Yangtze River to inspect a power transmission line in Wuhu. Stretching 2,080 kilometers, the ±800 kV ultra-high voltage direct current transmission line between southwest China's Sichuan Province and east China's Jiangsu Province spans the Yangtze River here in Anhui. As a critical part of China's west-to-east power transmission project, this line annually transmits over 30 billion kWh of clean power. Electrical workers of Anhui Electric Power Transmission & Transformation Co., Ltd. inspected the line section across the Yangtze River to secure its operation. In nearly three hours, these workers climbed up and moved along the cables for more than 2 kilometers at a maximum height of 278.2 meters. (Photo by Zhao Xianfu/Xinhua)
