Tang Jihong, director of the Hunan Provincial Energy Administration, estimated that, by 2025, Hunan's installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach 32,000 MW, and the output value of new energy industry will exceed 300 billion CNY.

Chen Huiqing, deputy secretary of the CPC Zhuzhou Municipal Committee and Zhuzhou mayor, introduced that Zhuzhou has made great efforts in developing wind power equipment industry in recent years. A complete industrial chain system has taken shape. There are a group of leading enterprises of wind power complete machines and key parts, such as the CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co., Ltd., CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd., and Zhuzhou Times New Material Technology Co., Ltd. In 2022, Zhuzhou's total output value of new energy and equipment manufacturing industrial cluster hit 66.8 billion CNY. Zhuzhou will spare no effort to develop this industrial cluster into a 100-billion-CNY one.
