China's Shandong develops green energies to advance new energy structure transformation

An aerial drone photo taken on Nov. 13, 2025 shows an offshore photovoltaic project in Dongying City, east China's Shandong Province. In 2020, China announced that it would strive to reach peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060.

Shandong in recent years has been making great efforts to contribute to the goals. The coastal province utilizes its topographical advantage to develop green energies both on land and in the sea while building non-fossil energy infrastructure. It is planning a project that integrates storage and transmission of wind and solar power on a saline-alkali tidal area, and a clean energy base mainly depending on photovoltaic power in coal mining subsidence areas.

Meanwhile, Shandong has been actively fostering the energy equipment industry, creating a favorable environment for the progress of both the new energy structure transformation and the energy equipment industry development. (Photo by Zhou Guangxue/Xinhua)
