The fierce north wind sweeps across the Helan Mountains, and green electricity surges to play a triumphant anthem. On January 15, 2026, Hanas New Energy Group held a grand celebration at the Helan Mountain Wind Farm to mark the milestone of surpassing 30 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generation. This landmark achievement embodies sixteen years of wisdom, sweat, and dedication from all members of Hanas and signifies the establishment of a brand-new monument in the Group's journey of green energy development. Wang Shaobo, Vice Chairman of Hanas Group, Li Zhiqing, Vice President of Hanas Group and Chairman of Hanas New Energy Group, along with other leaders and employee representatives, gathered together to witness this historic moment.
Promote Learning to Enhance Competition and Strengthen the Foundation of Safety
On the day of the event, the safety knowledge competition kicked off first. Eight teams from various sites and administrative departments competed on the same stage, promoting learning through competition. The competition covered core areas such as wind power safety production standards, equipment operation and maintenance, and emergency response. During the mandatory answer, quick answer, and risk question rounds, each team remained composed and competed fiercely, creating a lively atmosphere on site. This competition not only comprehensively tested the safety production work of the New Energy Group but also served as a vivid practical lesson in safety education, effectively stimulating everyone's enthusiasm to learn safety knowledge and fulfill safety responsibilities, further strengthening the foundation of safety production awareness.
Sixteen Years of Journey, Writing a Green Report Card
At 3 p.m., the celebration commenced in a solemn and enthusiastic atmosphere. In his speech, Li Zhiqing, Vice President of Hanas Group and Chairman of the New Energy Group, reviewed the company's sixteen-year journey of struggle. Since its establishment, the New Energy Group has actively responded to the national energy development strategy, cultivating wind resource areas of over 2,000 square kilometers in Mahuangshan and Helan Mountains. It has built Ningxia's first self-constructed 330kV booster substation for new energy and achieved the goal of constructing its first one-million-kilowatt wind power base, making it the only power generation company in China to use only Vestas wind turbines. Over sixteen years, the New Energy Group has consistently adhered to safety standards, achieving 5,395 consecutive days of safe production, establishing a scientific and efficient production management system, and cultivating a highly skilled in-house operations and maintenance team. Its annual average power generation hours rank among the top in Ningxia and exceed the national average for the same period.
Tan Chao, Executive Vice President of the New Energy Group, emphasized in his speech that the New Energy Group always prioritizes safety production and technological innovation as its primary tasks and core driving forces. By establishing a comprehensive safety management system, implementing an all-staff responsibility mechanism, and applying intelligent technology solutions, the group has created standardized operational management processes, providing strong support for high-quality green development.
As of the day of the celebration, the New Energy Group's cumulative power generation exceeded 30 billion kilowatt-hours, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of a medium-sized city. Compared with thermal power plants of the same scale, this is equivalent to saving about 10 million tons of standard coal, about 11 million tons of water resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide by about 24 million tons, demonstrating a solemn commitment to green development through concrete action.
Ten years of perseverance, crowned with glory
The celebration grandly presented the 'Decade of Merit Award' and the 'Outstanding Contribution Award.' Thirty-four employees who have weathered more than a decade alongside the company were honored with the 'Decade of Merit Award'; six outstanding representatives from frontline positions such as operations and maintenance received the 'Outstanding Contribution Award.' Among them are the 'Eagles' who safeguard the power grid, the 'Pioneers' who overcome technical challenges, and the 'Cornerstones' who are rooted on the front line. They have grown together with the company, writing moving chapters of dedication and perseverance.
The voices from the front line are equally strong and powerful. Ji Haiyang, the director of Huianbao Wind Farm, recalled the hardships at the start of their venture: the Gobi desert wind and sand, the harsh cold, and trekking for emergency repairs... 'Every kilowatt-hour must be fought for' has remained the team's unwavering belief. Young maintenance worker Zhang Yanxiang shared his personal journey from confusion to determination. With guidance from his mentor and the team, he gradually understood the meaning of 'standing firm like a wind turbine' and found his own sense of value in growing together with the green energy cause.
The group is determined to embark on a new journey
The strong support from Master Group and Hanas Group is a solid backing for the rise of the new energy industry. To recognize the contributions made by the New Energy Group, Master Group and Hanas Group solemnly presented the 'Outstanding Development Achievement' plaque at the celebration. This honor is a concentrated acknowledgment of the new energy team's sixteen years of courageously taking the lead and achieving remarkable results in safety, efficiency, management, and innovation.
In his speech, Wang Shaobo, Vice Chairman of Hanas Group, emphasized that achieving 30 billion kilowatt-hours is the result of the new energy team's pioneering innovation and dedicated commitment, and it also vividly reflects the collaborative transformation across the group. The new energy sector has become a benchmark for the group's high-quality development, and its entrepreneurial spirit and innovative practices have provided valuable experience for various business units. In the future, the group will continue to optimize resource allocation, fully support the new energy business, and jointly promote the implementation and growth of the green and low-carbon strategy.
Witness Glory, Embrace the Future Together
Amid eager anticipation from the entire audience, the celebration reached its most exciting 'moment of witness.' With the joint activation by leaders Wang Shaobo, Li Zhiqing, and others, the electricity generation numbers on the large screen began to rapidly jump, finally settling at '30,000,000,000 kWh.' At this moment, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, collectively commemorating this glorious moment belonging to all Hanas employees.
With strong winds and surging tides, we must set sail and break through the waves; with a heavy responsibility and a long journey ahead, we must spur our horses to go faster. 30 billion kilowatt-hours is an important milestone in the development history of the New Energy Group and a solid starting point for embarking on a new journey. Looking to the future, the Group will continue to uphold the concept of green development, deepen technological innovation and intelligent application, strengthen long-term mechanisms for safe production, and under the guidance of the "dual-carbon" goals, continue to contribute the powerful "Hanas strength" to promote the energy transition and build a beautiful China!
