Illustration - A drone photo taken on April 26, 2025 shows the power lines of the Hami-Chongqing 800 kV ultra-high voltage direct current power transmission project in Hami, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Xinjiang is a key sending hub in China's west-to-east power transmission program. Once considered economic obstacles, Xinjiang's vast deserts and arid landscapes have been transformed into a renewable energy goldmine, blessed with strong wind and long hours of sunshine. Since 2010, Xinjiang has cumulatively transmitted over 900 billion kilowatt-hours of power outside the region, with renewable energy accounting for approximately 30 percent of the total. The electricity supply coverage extends to 22 provincial-level regions across China. Photo by Yang Yingzhou/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
