Chinese technologies help ensure stable power supply of Lima during APEC summit

Chinese technologies have been helping major electricity generation and distribution companies in Lima ensure stable power supply during the ongoing APEC summit as their operation gradually improves following acquisition by Chinese power giants.

Pluz Energy, a Peruvian power company, is running to ensure stable power supply to the presidential palace, the municipal government of Lima, and the city's airport during this year's APEC summit.

The seven-day event starting from November 10 in Lima will see representatives from 21 member economies gathering in the Peruvian capital.

Just several months ago, Pluz Energy was acquired by China Southern Power Grid and its power supply stability had been significantly improved as more and more experienced professionals and management models are introduced into the company.

"To ensure stable power supply during the APEC summit we checked all the relevant high-voltage equipment and all the problems were solved. Now all the equipment is running smoothly," said Yang Qihong, head of power grid of Pluz Energy.

Yang said the improved management models introduced by Chinese companies helped Pluz Energy significantly enhance its power supply capacity, with power outage time seeing a noticeable drop.

"Our monthly power outage time was reduced by 21 percent year over year," said Yang.

Luz del Sur, the largest power distributor in Peru, has close business ties with China. The company was acquired by China Three Gorges Cooperation in 2020 and provides power for a China-backed port in Peru.

"We are responsible for sending power to the main venue of this year's APEC summit. The venue is right over there. We also have a hydropower station for providing power for Chancay Port," said Xue Ning, chairman of the board of Luz del Sur.

Xue said the company is working towards better operation and is upgrading equipment and importing advanced technologies from China, including video surveillance, unmanned inspection, and smart meters.

"We keep upgrading our equipment and importing advanced technologies from China. They help us better detect the malfunctions and respond with timely checks, repair and maintenance," Xue said.

Three types of cutting-edge stealth fighters from China and Russia have showcased their aerial prowess with thrilling acrobatic maneuvers at the ongoing Airshow China in Zhuhai City.

Two homegrown J-20 heavy stealth fighter jets took to the sky on Friday, performing synchronized flight alongside a series of sharp, tight turns. Despite overcast weather conditions in Zhuhai, pilots executed the complex maneuvers with precision, a testament to their exceptional skill.

Next up was J-35, a medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter capable of both air superiority and strike missions against ground and maritime targets.

The aircraft performed a striking vertical climb, disappearing into the clouds as part of its awe-inspiring aerial display.

Another highlight was Russia's fifth-generation Su-57 fighter that has made its debut at Airshow China. The single-seat twin-engine jet features a supersonic cruising speed, internal weapons, radio-absorbing coating and sophisticated instruments aboard.

Su-57 staged dazzling stuns during the air show's opening ceremony on Tuesday, marking the first time a foreign stealth aircraft has landed in China.

The 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, is the largest air show in the country. Held from Nov 12 to 17 in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, the event showcases an impressive lineup of cutting-edge military hardware while offering a glimpse into the latest achievements in the modernization of the Chinese military.
