Ready for a green glow-up? The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the Chinese mainland, once known for coal, is now buzzing with solar and wind power 🌬️☀️.
Over half of Xinjiang’s energy is from renewables—think solar farms as big as cities! Urumqi boasts the world’s largest solar farm, stretching into the horizon, while Hami’s cutting-edge solar thermal plant uses the sun’s heat to spin turbines and light up millions of homes.
This green shift is pushing the Chinese mainland from follower to leader in the clean energy game, setting a high bar for other regions racing toward a net-zero future.
For young pros who care about sustainability and tech innovation, Xinjiang’s story is inspo: with the right vision and investments, even the driest landscapes can become renewable energy champions. ⚡🌍
