Beacon lights on wind turbines of the De Aar Wind Power Project are seen under the starry sky in De Aar, Northern Cape, South Africa, Oct. 22, 2025. To bolster Africa's green development, China has assisted countries in constructing several clean energy projects. The De Aar Wind Farm has changed South Africa's energy landscape. As the first wind power project financed, constructed and operated by a Chinese company in Africa, it supplies 760 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the electricity needs of 300,000 households.
