From February 7 to 14

with the theme "Shared Dreams on Ice, United Hearts in Asia"

the 9th Asian Winter Games Harbin 2025

is being grandly held

(hereinafter referred to as the "Asian Winter Games")

This winter sports event

not only attracts top athletes from across Asia

but also prominently showcases numerous cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications

△ The Asian Winter Games has achieved a 100% green electricity supply for the first time

One particularly noteworthy highlight is that

during the renovation and construction of competition venues and supporting facilities,

as well as during test events and the main competitions,

solar energy and other green clean energy sources were comprehensively utilized

marking the first time in the history of the Asian Winter Games that

a 100% green electricity supply has been achieved

To ensure the safe and effective delivery of green electricity

to each competition venue

over RMB 800 million has been invested

in 170 supporting grid reinforcement projects for the Asian Winter Games

significantly enhancing the power supply capacity of the urban grid

△ Power supply guarantee service personnel are busy at the competition venue

At the same time, efforts have been made to strengthen power dispatching

and to coordinate the power resources across the grid

As of now

a total of 11 green electricity transactions for the Asian Winter Games have been completed

with a cumulative transaction volume of 56.76 million kWh

equivalent to saving approximately 17,400 tons of standard coal

and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 46,000 tons

△ For this Asian Winter Games, new electric ice-resurfacing machines have been put into use.

In this year's Asian Winter Games

new energy-efficient electric ice-resurfacing machines have replaced

traditional fuel-powered machines

Coupled with precise digital sensing technology within the venues

for the real-time monitoring and adjustment of energy consumption

the energy distribution has been optimized

As the green energy transition becomes a global consensus

carbon reduction and green games

have already become standard practices

for various large-scale international sporting events

Paris 2024 Olympic Games

The Paris Olympics introduced the concept of a "carbon budget" for the first time

and strictly regulated the total carbon emissions for the event

to not exceed 1.58 million tons of CO2 equivalent

In the Olympic Village

one-third of the building's rooftops

are equipped with solar PV panel clusters

which not only provide ample energy

but also significantly reduce carbon emissions during the construction process

The Paris Olympics' "favor" for PV went far beyond this

Designed as a permanent sports facility

for the Paris Olympics

The Aquatics Centre is a low-carbon venue

featuring a 5,000 square meter rooftop covered with PV panels

the rooftop is one of the largest urban solar power generation sites in France

supplying "green energy" to the whole Aquatics Centre.

The Chengdu FISU World University Games

achieved 100% clean energy supply

resulting in a reduction of 2,674 tons of greenhouse gas emissions

with over 1,800 power-generation glass panels

providing clean energy in the Universiade Village

△ The new-energy buses responsible for the transportation support of the Universiade

During the event

the transportation services were supported

by a fleet of 1,340 new energy buses

and over 1,000 new energy vehicles

leading to a reduction of 1,328 tons of greenhouse gas emissions

Twelve charging stations with over 400 charging piles were established

along the transportation routes and surrounding areas

with all venues meeting green building standards

and utilizing 100% green electricity for conventional energy needs

Wukesong Ice Sports Center

has installed a total of 1,958 PV silicon components

generating clean electricity

equivalent to saving 252 tons of standard coal annually

thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 660.24 tons

Behind each green and low-carbon event

is a robust support from the rapidly developing new energy sector

Currently, in order to address climate change

the global transition to green energy is an inevitable trend

with renewable energy, particularly PV

serving as a key player

By the end of 2024

China has maintained its position as the world leader in newly installed PV capacity for 12 consecutive years

and it has held the top spot in cumulative installed capacity for 10 years

PV has become the second-largest power source in terms of installed capacity in China

and are expected to become the largest in the future

△ Tongwei's "Integration of Fishery and PV" project

According to the International Energy Agency's report

Renewables 2024

it is projected that from 2024 to 2030

the global installed capacity of renewable energy

will exceed 5,500 GW

with the new PV capacity

surpassing 4,000 GW by 2030

China's PV power generation

is set to lead the global renewable energy industry

In the future

Chinese PV enterprises, represented by Tongwei

will further strengthen

the core competitive advantages of China's PV industry

promote high-quality development of the new energy sector

and make greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world
