This photo taken on July 5, 2025 shows power lines of the Changji-Guquan 1100 kV ultra-high voltage direct current power transmission project in the Kazak Autonomous County of Mori, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Xinjiang, a region rich in solar and wind energy resources, has vigorously developed the new energy industry in recent years, accelerating the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic power base projects. A 750-kilovolt (kV) "power expressway loop," the country's largest of its kind, has taken shape throughout Xinjiang, providing strong support for efficient energy allocation. Today, about one third of the electricity transmitted in Xinjiang comes from clean energy sources such as wind and solar power. It transmits over 270 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity to other regions. Besides, an increasing number of companies are developing clean energy in Xinjiang, driving the region's green development. The categories of new energy equipment manufacturing industries i

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 Zhang Limin/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
