The 1,035-kilometer China-Laos Railway, a landmark project of the Belt and Road Initiative and a flagship project for bilateral friendship, connects landlocked Laos with China's railway networks, greatly expanding Laos' access to global markets.

The construction of a mega solar and wind power base in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region will further facilitate the country's low-carbon energy transition and ensure domestic energy security, industry experts said.

Liaoning province in Northeast China saw a major onshore wind power project connect to the state grid and go into operation on Saturday.

Experts highlight role of govt plan in bringing upgrades in traditional, clean energy sectors.

A similar project that transmits power from Baihetan to Jiangsu Province in the east was put into use in July.

A mega solar and wind power base kicked off construction in China's seventh-largest desert on Wednesday.

Thanks to the large-scale development of clean energy, especially solar and wind power, consumption of fossil fuels is expected to decrease by 3.15 billion ton standard coals during the 2030-60 period, Dai said.
