As a major desertification country, China's desertification prevention and control tasks are arduous. On January 5, 2022, a strategic cooperation agreement was signed under the witness of Qian Zhimin, Chairman and Party Secretary of State Power Investment Corporation, and Wang Wenbiao, Chairman and Party Secretary of Elion Group. At the same time, China Power and Yili Photovoltaic Desert Control Group signed a project cooperation agreement. The two parties will jointly promote the integrated development of energy industry and ecological industry in Kubuqi, Ulan Buhe, Maowusu, Tengger and other western sandy areas along the Yellow River basin, and vigorously develop the "energy + ecology" and "photovoltaic + sand control" industries. Promote in-depth cooperation in emerging industries such as energy storage, hydrogen energy, and integrated smart energy, and jointly promote the implementation of the national carbon peak and carbon neutral strategic goals, and agree to jointly launch the photovoltaic desertification control industry alliance to jointly discuss the development of desertification control along the Belt and Road +Photovoltaic.

Energy state-owned enterprises are not only the industry leaders, but also the pioneers of carbon emission reduction. The State Power Investment Corporation is the first to put forward the 2023 carbon peak target. At the beginning of the new year, SPIC accelerated its deployment in the sandy areas along the western part of the Yellow River, and gave full play to its three advantages of advanced energy technology development, clean and low-carbon energy supply, and energy ecosystem integration. Elion Group gave full play to more than 30 years of in-depth cultivation and governance. The accumulated platform integration advantages of the desert industry, the ecological advantages of desertification control, and the advantages of photovoltaic desertification control and industrial power consumption. They jointly develop new energy, photovoltaic desertification control + ecological governance, rural revitalization, integrated smart energy, and investment and financing cooperation. Strategic cooperation will help build a new power system with new energy as the mainstay, and work together to create a "photovoltaic desertification control cooperation benchmark", and jointly make a new demonstration of cooperation between central enterprises and private enterprises to achieve the national goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality".

State Power Investment Corporation is an important state-owned backbone enterprise directly managed by the central government. It was established in July 2015 and was reorganized by the former China Power Investment Corporation and State Nuclear Power Technology Co., Ltd. It is one of the five largest power generation groups in China and the largest in the world. Photovoltaic power generation companies. In 2021, SPIC ranks 293 among the world's top 500 companies, with its business scope covering 46 countries and regions, and it shoulders the important mission of ensuring national energy security.

Elion Group is one of the top 100 private enterprises in China. It is committed to building a leading comprehensive photovoltaic desertification service provider and desert ecological resource development operator in the country. Founded in 1988, the holding company Elion Clean Energy (600277) was listed in Shanghai in 2000 . The company's long-term innovation and exploration of practical experience in photovoltaic desertification control has laid a solid foundation for the strategic layout of photovoltaic desertification control, and innovatively constructed a "six in one" of "desert control, photovoltaic, energy storage, green hydrogen, chemical industry, agriculture" new energy + sand control. A new model for the development of a three-dimensional recycling industry. Keywords: engineering construction, engineering construction, new energy

In order to promote the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, accelerating the planning and construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects in deserts, Gobi and desert areas has become a national strategy. The western sandy areas along the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, such as Kubuqi, Ulan Buhe, Maowusu, and Tengger, are key governance areas related to the Yellow River Anlan strategy, clean energy development, and rural revitalization. In October 2021, the Kubuqi 2 million kilowatt photovoltaic desertification control project in Mengxi Base and the Yili Wuwei 500,000 kilowatt three-dimensional ecological photovoltaic desertification control project started one after another.
