[CSSC Technology leads the development of 25MW grid type wind turbines]A key technological breakthrough aimed at the future of offshore wind power has officially begun in Dongying Economic and Technological Development Zone by the Bohai Bay. On December 13, 2025, the "Development and Demonstration Application of Offshore Grid Wind Turbine Equipment" project was launched here, with the core goal of developing the world's leading 25 MW offshore grid wind turbine, providing a strong "heart" for China's wind power to move towards deep sea.
The project is led by CSSC Haizhuang Wind Power (Shandong) Co., Ltd. and collaborates with multiple top research institutions to tackle a series of technical challenges, including grid control and high stability design of 150 meter long blades. Project leader Cai Meiyuan explained that grid building technology is like installing a "smart brain" for wind turbines, enabling them to transform from passive adaptation to the power grid to active support, effectively solving the stability challenges brought by the long distance and weak grid connection of offshore wind power.
The project plan is clear, and after industrialization, it is expected to have an annual production capacity of 20 units (totaling 500 megawatts), with the potential to increase operating revenue by over 1 billion yuan and drive the development of the wind power industry chain cluster. It is worth noting that since 2025, key components such as the lightweight spindle, giant tower flange, and full power grid converter of this model have been successfully developed and produced, marking the launch of this "national heavy machine" representing China's high-end manufacturing level, which is not far away.

China Power Construction Corporation recently released an announcement on its main business operations for January 2026. According to the data, the company signed a total of 661 new projects in January 2026, with a total contract amount of 89.436 billion yuan. Among them, the energy and power business sector has performed outstandingly, with 428 newly signed projects and a total of 59.324 billion yuan in newly signed contracts. According to the announcement, the scope of energy and power business is extensive, covering hydropower, wind power, solar power generation, thermal power, new energy storage, nuclear power, power grid, as well as various types such as hydrogen energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, biomass energy, etc.Editor/Yang Meiling
In order to promote the large-scale development of solar thermal power generation, the People's Government of Qinghai Province recently issued the "Several Measures for Promoting the Scale Development of Solar Thermal Power Generation in Qinghai Province". The document proposes to support incremental independent solar thermal projects included in the development and construction plan to independently conduct mechanism electricity price bidding one year before the prescribed completion deadline. The policy will comprehensively consider factors such as the comprehensive income of enterprises and the value of green electricity to set a reasonable upper limit for bidding, and set a lower limit for bidding based on the principle of not being lower than the project cost, with a starting lower limit of 0.55 yuan/kWh. The lower limit will moderately decrease year by year, with the goal of achieving comparable prices to coal-fired power by 2030.Editor/Yang Meiling
