As a designated demonstration city for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, Yantai in East China's Shandong province is strategically transforming its economic model through systematic investments in clean energy, industrial innovation, and urban sustainability. 

Guided by a comprehensive policy framework with clear 2030 targets, the city is implementing concrete action plans supported by specific policies and key projects in an effort to establish itself as a regional model for green development. 

Yantai's clean energy transition shows remarkable progress, with the expanding Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant and the nation's first city-level digital virtual power plant positioning it as a provincial leader in installed capacity. These pioneering projects form the cornerstone of its diverse, modern energy strategy. 

Meanwhile, the city's robust manufacturing sector is undergoing a profound green transformation. Through a "chain-based" approach that cultivates 16 key industrial clusters — from aerospace to green petrochemicals — major enterprises are implementing intelligent management and circular economy models that significantly reduce emissions and energy consumption. 

This commitment extends directly to residents' quality of life, where coastal revitalization projects create new green spaces and innovations like the "Nuanhe No 1" provide zero-carbon urban heating. Through these tangible improvements, Yantai is building a more sustainable and livable environment for its community.
