Off the coast of Rudong, Nantong, along the Yellow Sea, thousands of towering wind turbines Rise from the sea, continuously delivering clean electricity to the grid. More than 30 kilometers offshore, a team of dedicated energy guardians works year-round at the offshore substation, quietly protecting this vast “forest of wind turbines.” In recent days, operation and maintenance personnel at the Rudong H4 and H7 Offshore Wind Farms of SPIC Nantong New Energy Co., Ltd. have been carrying out routine maintenance, targeted inspections, and emergency repairs to ensure a safe and stable power supply during periods of high temperatures. Since entering operation in December 2021, the project has generated more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Recently, the 100 MW CSP (concentrated solar power) project of Tongyu Jidian Green Energy under State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) achieved two major milestones in succession: turbine casing closure and the successful reverse energization of the plant auxiliary power system. As an important component of the 1.4 million kW power export project of the Jixi Base Lugu DC transmission project, it is part of China’s first batch of large-scale renewable energy base projects in desert, Gobi, and barren land areas. As a world-class pioneering project constructing a tower-type CSP plant in a cold region above 45° north latitude, it has accumulated valuable engineering experience for expanding CSP technology into higher-latitude and colder regions in China and around the world. Upon completion, the project is expected to generate approximately 167 million kWh of electricity annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 140,000 tonnes each year.

What would happen to the ecosystem if the entire desert in Xinjiang were covered with solar panels? SPIC’s practices show that with scientific planning, even deserts can turn into thriving green lands; however, covering them entirely may pose risks. First, let’s look at the results of proper planning: at SPIC’s Shichengzi Photovoltaic Power Station, 750,000 solar panels hold back shifting sands, acting as a natural wind and sand barrier; In Shanshan County, Turpan, a 900 MW “solar thermal photovoltaic” project reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1.619 million tons annually. Drought-resistant plants are cultivated beneath the panels, creating a virtuous cycle of “power generation above, sand stabilization below”; on the Altun Mountains at an altitude of 4,200 meters, off-grid photovoltaic systems combined with energy storage have resolved heating and water supply needs, allowing vegetation to thrive once again. Currently, clean energy accounts for over 90% of SPIC’s operations in Xinjiang, with cumulative carbon reductions exceeding 1.4 billion tons. However, “blanketing the entire area” would pose three major risks: first, dark solar panels alter surface albedo, potentially affecting precipitation; second, they squeeze the living space of desert species such as sand lizards and jerboas; third, the massive water consumption required for panel cleaning poses hard-to-control   pollution risks. Therefore, SPIC’s approach involves: scientific site selection, decentralized layout,leaving pathways for wildlife, and planting grass beneath the panels—power generation can transform barren wastelands without disrupting the ecological balance.

In the story of Chen Manli’s family at SPIC Fujian—recognized as a “Most Beautiful Family”—love and cherished traditions form the heart of their home. The family’s 90-year-old matriarch, Zhang Xishou, carries both the serenity of age and the glow of being lovingly cared for. Through years of quiet companionship, her daughter-in-law Chen Shuhua embodies the virtue of filial piety. Inspired by her mother-in-law, Chen Manli continues this legacy in her own way—by preparing nourishing meals, learning Hui’an embroidery, and treasuring the family stories passed down through generations. In return, when work keeps Chen Manli busy, her mother-in-law quietly shoulders childcare and household duties, allowing her to focus on her career without worry. With four generations under one roof, the youngest child blossoms surrounded by affection. They believe that a happy family is built with devotion, and that love is the force that passes warmth and strength from one generation to the next.

Deep in the Yellow River gorge on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yangqu Fish Breeding Station of SPIC Huanghe Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. is quietly carrying out a heartwarming “relay of life.” The station has not only cracked the code for artificially breeding six rare native fish species, but also deployed an innovative intelligent fish lift, guiding 6,637 rare fish through their migration journey. In 2025, the station released 370,000 native fish fry, leveraging technology to safeguard biodiversity in the upper Yellow River and fostering a harmonious coexistence between clean energy and aquatic life.
