Following a brief comment on the front page of China Energy News on February 12, an in-depth report entitled “GCL’s Poverty Reduction Campaign Benefits 38,000 Rural Households” was printed in the local fax version of the People’s Daily. The report describes in detail how GCL Group has helped revitalize the beautiful countryside and lifted farmers out of poverty through developing the green energy industry there.
The report was reposted and pushed on the apps of authoritative media outlets like the People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency and the Guangming Daily, by state media outlets such as people.cn, xinhua.cn and ce.cn, web portals such as 163.com, sohu.com, toutiao.com, in-en.com, qq.com, escn.com.cn and solar-pv.cn, as well as a number of we-media and industrial media outlets, drawing extensive attention from society at large.
According to the latest statistics, GCL New Energy has surpassed its peers in the industry by building power stations with a capacity of 1,290MW dedicated to poverty reduction and which have already been completed or are to be completed before June 30, 2018.
