Have you ever visited Xiong’an Business Service Center? Do you know anything special about it? On top of the center’s six buildings, there are about 28,400 solar panels (太阳能板). They match perfectly with the traditional Chinese design of the buildings. If they were put together, the solar panels would cover an area of 1.4 standard football fields. These panels now can produce 5% of the electricity that is needed for the center.

Using local clean energy plays an important role in Xiong’an New Area’s progress. Solar panels which cover some buildings are used to provide electricity in the area. In the future, the solar panel project will produce more electricity. The electricity will first be used by companies in the area, and the rest will be shared.

The solar panel project is good for the environment and economy (经济). It not only helps to reduce greenhouse gases (温室气体), but also lowers electricity costs for companies in the area. The project is expected to produce nearly 3.5 million kWh of electricity. This means that about 3,000 tons of greenhouse gases will be avoided every year.

There are already a number of projects in the area. These projects use solar power and other clean energy. Two new projects will be started: an energy-saving lighting project and a green heating project. The purpose of the two new projects is to further cut pollution. Xiong’an New Area is on the way to becoming a green modern city.
