Dongying’s State Grid Leads the Charge in Sustainable Energy, Setting New Standards in Hekou District’s Low-Carbon Evolution

DONGYING, China, Sept. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The recent advancements of State Grid Dongying Power Supply Company in renewable energy infrastructure development have taken the spotlight in a CCTV+ video segment.

In its latest green energy push, the state-owned power supplier has set ambitious renewable energy targets for the saline-alkali regions of the Yellow River Delta. Their holistic approach spans a spectrum of initiatives, from eco-friendly industrial energy parks and innovative aquaculture systems to efficient energy chains and circular farming methodologies.

Central to their strategic roadmap is their involvement in aquaponics, the creation of zero-carbon energy stations, and a pivotal role in the Yellow River Basin Science and Technology Yard—a hub bridging knowledge and practice to foster technological innovation and exchange.

Furthermore, the firm is investing in a big data platform that seamlessly melds intelligent agricultural techniques with optimized energy consumption, all while integrating state-of-the-art charging systems for electric farm machinery.

These concerted efforts underscore the company's unwavering commitment to driving a clean, low-carbon energy shift and fostering rural revitalization.

Tangy Solar's 500 MW fishery-photovoltaic initiative stands out as a flagship project. Nestled in Dongying's northernmost Hekou District, the region is a hotspot for renewable energy resources. Boasting a 214-kilometer (133-mile) coastline facing north along the Bohai Sea and covering a vast expanse of 65,000 acres of saline mudflats, Hekou is geographically blessed. With its year-round steady winds and an impressive average of 2,715 sunshine hours, it's a prime location for such an ambitious endeavor.
