State Grid's green initiative to help boost prosperity in Zhejiang

As the spring sun shines on photovoltaic panels in the mountains around Tangyuan, East China's Zhejiang province, they glitter like a layer of gold laminate.

With over 800 residents, the picturesque village in the prefecture-level city of Quzhou first installed the solar power facilities in 2020, netting an income of some 50,000 yuan ($6,963) each year for the villagers by sending electric power to the grid.

Zhejiang, the birthplace of China's concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", is trying to beautify itself through green initiatives amid the country's drive to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
