The 2026 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, to be held from November 18 to 19 in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, will be powered entirely by green electricity, with related venues and facilities achieving 100% green power supply, China Southern Power Grid (CSG) said on Friday.

All preparations to ensure electricity supply during the event have been completed, the company said.

CSG has secured 89 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity in advance, which will ensure that all energy consumed during the event is covered by green energy. Every unit of electricity used at the Shenzhen venues will have a traceable source.

The green electricity will come from two areas, according to Shen Sai, manager of development and comprehensive management at the marketing and customer service department of CSG's Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau.

One part will come from offshore wind farms in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, while the other will come from wind and solar power bases in the vast deserts, Gobi areas and barren lands of northwest China, Shen said. The electricity will be transmitted over long distances through interprovincial and interregional power transmission networks to the event venues.
