POWERCHINA has set out renewable projects in four regions that it says are shaped around local resources, grids and electricity demand, as world leaders gather for the UN climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9 to 20, the company said.
South Africa solar and storage
The Total Energies Hydra Storage Project in the Northern Cape pairs 216 megawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity with 588 megawatt-hours of battery storage. The batteries are intended to hold daytime output for delivery when solar production declines, which the company said helps grid reliability. Its 132-kilovolt substation was energized in November 2025, a step the company described as enabling integrated electrical system commissioning.
Grid links in Laos and Bosnia
The 600 MW Monsoon Wind Power Project in Laos, which POWERCHINA constructed, reached commercial operation at full capacity in August 2025 and supplies wind-generated electricity to Vietnam's national grid. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ivovik Wind Power Project includes a step-up substation and transmission lines that carry power from local wind resources into the national grid.
Microgrids in Suriname
Phase II of the Suriname Village Microgrid PV Project combines solar generation, battery storage and backup diesel generators to deliver electricity around the clock. Nine microgrid stations serve about 5,000 households across 45 remote communities, with renewable energy making up more than 80% of supply. The company said the systems support education, healthcare and communications in communities it described as previously underserved.
