POWERCHINA receives international recognition for its efforts in biodiversity protection.
A conference titled "Energy and Biodiversity: Accelerating Energy Transition and Mainstreaming of Biodiversity to Advance the Implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework" was held on Oct 29 in Beijing as a side event of the 17th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17).
The event unveiled the 2026 List of Energy Transition for Biodiversity and the Practical Cases of Energy Transition for Biodiversity 2026.
A total of six POWERCHINA projects were included in the two lists, recognizing the company's efforts to integrate green energy with biodiversity conservation in its overseas projects.
The South Africa REDSTONE 100MW CSP Power Plant and the Amunet 500 MW Wind Power Project in Egypt were selected for the 2026 List of Energy Transition for Biodiversity in recognition of their efforts to incorporate ecological protection throughout the entire project lifecycle.
All six projects were also featured in the 2026 Practices in Energy Transition for Biodiversity. In addition to the two projects above, they include the 600 MW Monsoon Wind Power Project in Laos, the 148 MWp Escobales1-5 Photovoltaic Project in Colombia, the Mauriti Solar Plant in Brazil（425MWp), and the Gribo-Popoli Hydropower Project in Côte d'Ivoire.
The recognition of multiple POWERCHINA projects is a testament to company's commitment to ESG principles and its efforts to integrate biodiversity conservation into its overseas project development. It also marks another step in promoting high-quality, green development under the Belt and Road Initiative.
