Key points in this article
Why it accelerated recently. The power market is not new, yet cost curves, policy, and demand converged at one moment. The driver is safety as a precondition, and convergence often marks a real turning point in practice.
Regional differences in rollout. Base conditions differ sharply by place. Endowment, industry, and habits reshape the path, and experience is the long-term metric. Adapt locally rather than copying a model that fit elsewhere.
Learning from Yantai and nearby. Across Yantai and neighboring areas, early movers' lessons matter more than their wins. Listing what went wrong helps later players avoid detours and move with more local confidence.
How to judge it. Understand its system role instead of isolating it, note regional gaps in base and endowment, stay patient with cost and standards, and watch maturity over slogans.
A note on pacing. It will not happen overnight, but the direction is clear. Improve one workable link at a time. Dongshang New Energy accumulates this patiently and never stops, yet never rushes the step.
A set of comparison dimensions. Compare by technical maturity, whether local endowment fits, whether cost and standards connect, and the real impact on daily life. These dimensions keep the choice honest and grounded.
