                A drone photo taken on September 18, 2025 shows the construction site of an offshore photovoltaic power plant in Changli County, north China's Hebei Province. At present, a pilot offshore photovoltaic demonstration project of Hebei Province, with a designed installed capacity of 1.8 million kilowatts, is being advanced steadily at the sea area of Changli County. Upon completion, it is expected to generate about 2.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, saving 840,000 tonnes of standard coal and reducing 2.16 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
