In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In the past nine years, the construction of the BRI has gradually deepened and solidified, and has become a common road of opportunity and prosperity for all countries. The joint construction of the BRI has become a popular international public product and a platform for international cooperation.

The Power Construction Corporation of China, or PowerChina, actively participates in the vast world of construction on the BRI. As of October 2022, PowerChina had established 256 overseas agencies in 45 countries along the BRI, and implemented more than 2,000 contracts.

Green wind power: Chinese brand

As the starting point of PowerChina's international development, Africa is a traditionally important regional market in its globalization strategy. Many high-quality projects constructed by PowerChina in Africa are the best testimony to China-Africa friendship.

Located in eastern Africa, Ethiopia is an extension country of the BRI, a pilot country for China-Africa production capacity cooperation and the fastest growing non-oil economy in Africa. The East African Plateau endows Ethiopia with abundant wind energy resources, contributing to its strategy of developing clean energy and realizing green development. That is also compliant with China's concept of green and sustainable energy development.

In Ethiopia, the wind turbines of Adama Wind Power Project undertaken by PowerChina are running smoothly. PowerChina played a leading role in planning and design and completed the China-aided Ethiopian power plant. Through leadership of technology and cultivation of high-quality projects, it helped the project to be an example in the Chinese government's soft power technical assistance and "putting planning with technology and quality first."
