In a bold stride toward next-generation renewable energy solutions, Chinese state-owned power giant China Huaneng Group has officially launched the world’s most powerful direct-drive floating offshore wind turbine, featuring the largest rotor diameter globally. The unveiling took place in Fuqing, Fujian Province, East China, and was reported by Xinhua News Agency on Thursday. The turbine boasts a single-unit capacity of 17 megawatts (MW) and a rotor diameter of 262 meters, setting a new global benchmark in offshore wind engineering. With a swept area of around 53,000 square meters, comparable to 7.5 standard soccer fields, the turbine marks a significant milestone ...

China’s green power market is accelerating into a new phase, with trading volumes surging nearly 50% year-on-year in the first five months of 2025—surpassing 220 billion kilowatt-hours, according to data from the China Electricity Council (CEC). The sharp rise underscores the country’s ongoing pivot from centrally planned electricity dispatch toward a market-driven system that more effectively integrates renewable sources into the national grid. Experts say this momentum reflects a maturing power market and robust demand for clean electricity. Lin Boqiang, director of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University, emphasized that green electricity’s growing market share ...

In the windswept deserts of northern China, a quiet revolution is underway. Once defined by arid wastelands and ecological degradation, the Kubuqi and Ulan Buh deserts in Inner Mongolia are now home to vast expanses of solar panels — a transformation that’s earned them a new moniker: “blue seas.” This poetic nickname reflects a profound shift. Driven by China’s dual priorities of environmental rehabilitation and renewable energy development, Inner Mongolia has become a national model for combining photovoltaic (PV) technology with desertification control. According to local government sources, more than 14.89 million mu (approximately 992,667 hectares) of land — once ...

In a quiet port in Hefei, China, a 20-ton cargo destined for France could hold the key to humanity’s clean energy future. This unassuming shipment—nine crescent-shaped components forged with atomic precision—represents more than just hardware; it’s a cornerstone in the quest to harness the power of the stars. As China dispatches these critical parts to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world inches closer to a revolution that might finally crack the code to limitless, clean energy. The Cosmic Courier: Inside China’s Fusion Breakthrough The components, dubbed “correction coil internal feeders,” are no ordinary machinery. Resembling the ribs of ...

The U.S. Tariff Ruling: Unprecedented Challenges for China’s Photovoltaic Industry The recent preliminary ruling by the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose dumping tariffs of up to 271% on solar imports from Southeast Asia has sent shockwaves through China’s photovoltaic (PV) industry. While the ruling ostensibly targets Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, its underlying intent clearly aims at Chinese PV companies, many of which have established manufacturing facilities in these regions to circumvent earlier U.S. tariffs. A Direct Blow to China’s Southeast Asia Strategy Chinese PV exports to the U.S. through Southeast Asia have been a ...
