(230719) -- FUZHOU, July 19, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 19, 2023 shows a 16-megawatt wind turbine at the Fujian offshore wind farm operated by the China Three Gorges Corporation off the coast of southeast China's Fujian Province. The world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine off the coast of Fujian Province was successfully connected to the grid and began generating electricity on Wednesday. The wind turbine has the largest single-unit generating capacity of all turbines in operation worldwide, the company said. The turbine's blades are each 123 meters long and can sweep an area of approximately 50,000 square meters -- the size of seven standard soccer fields. It is estimated that the wind turbine will be able to generate more than 66 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the annual electricity consumption needs of 36,000 three-member households. That is equivalent to saving about 22,000 tonnes of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions

Construction of the Zhongning converter station is under way as part of an ultra-high voltage (UHV) power transmission line stretching over 1,600 km from northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to central China's Hunan Province. The project will transmit electricity generated from wind and photovoltaic power stations in China's fourth largest desert, the Tengger Desert. It is expected to be completed in 2025 and has a designed annual power transmission capability of about 36 billion to 40 billion kilowatt-hours. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM/Wang Peng)
