As the region with the most development potential for wind and solar energy in Northeast China, Baicheng has an average of 2,919.4 hours of annual sunshine, and the city's solar radiation is above 5,000 megajoules per square meter.

Baicheng is the country's only local wind power consumption demonstration zone and a national new energy demonstration city.

In 2018, it began developing its hydrogen energy industry and has since been striving to become the "Hydrogen Valley of North China".

The city is focusing on the upper, middle and lower reaches of the new energy industry, focusing on equipment such as wind power, photovoltaics, and hydrogen energy production, to accelerate the localization of new energy equipment and industrial clustering.

Baicheng is looking to become home to a complete industrial chain for hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen transportation and hydrogen use, with a focus on the development of hydrogen energy equipment, hydrogen fuel cells and vehicles.
