From Xinjiang's desert to economic hubs: a power expressway that lights up both ends

Since Xinjiang began delivering power to other regions in 2010, it has transmitted over 1 trillion kWh of electricity to 22 provincial regions across China -- enough to power 1.4 billion people's lives for 306 days. One-third of all kilowatt-hours of electricity comes from renewables, delivering climate benefits equivalent to planting approximately 13 billion trees.
