Baicheng to widen new energy plans to achieve green transition

City focuses on integrating wind, solar resources, hydrogen and storage stations

Baicheng, a pioneering hub for clean energy in Northeast China's Jilin province, is intensifying efforts to develop solar and wind resources alongside energy storage stations, aiming to leverage national opportunities created by the implementation of the "dual carbon" strategy, according to a senior government official.

As the country's only comprehensive demonstration zone for local wind power integration, focusing on the local consumption and efficient use of wind energy, Baicheng is dedicated to accelerating the development of a national-level clean energy base. It also aims to foster new productive forces through the complementary integration of wind, solar, thermal and storage energy, said Li Hongci, the city's Party secretary.

Accelerating breakthroughs in new energy technologies, long-term energy storage and low-cost green hydrogen, ammonia and ethanol will help promote the deep integration of energy and digital technologies, Li said.
