[Two subway lines in Shijiazhuang, Hebei officially started construction]On April 28, 2023, the construction of the first phase of Shijiazhuang Rail Transit Line 6 and the third phase of Line 1 officially started, which marks the start of construction of the second phase of Shijiazhuang Rail Transit. According to the planning plan, the first phase of Line 6 and the third phase of Line 1 are expected to be put into operation in 2027. The total construction scale of the second phase of Shijiazhuang Rail Transit is 58.85 kilometers, mainly including the first phase of Line 4, 5, and 6 and the third phase of Line 1. The lines are all underground, mainly covering Qiaoxi, Yuhua, Xinhua, Chang'an, Luquan, Luancheng and other districts. The first phase of Line 4 and Line 5 has started construction on December 30, 2022. The first phase of Shijiazhuang Rail Transit Line 6 starts from Ershilipu Station and ends at Dongzuo Road Station. It is laid along Huaizhong Road-Yuhua East Road-Kunlun Street, with a total length of about 12.75 kilometers and 9 stations. There are 2 interchange stations, interchange with the existing Line 1 at Liucun Station, and transfer with the existing Line 3 at Nandou Station. The first-phase project of Line 6 effectively fills the vacancy of rail transit in the southeast area of Shishi, guides the expansion of the central urban area from a single center to multiple centers, promotes the evacuation of passenger flow, and is conducive to the realization of the overall urban planning layout. The third phase project of Shijiazhuang Rail Transit Line 1 is the west extension of the first phase of Line 1. Line 1 is the east-west backbone line of the central urban area, and it is also the main line connecting the old city area with the eastern industrial area and the Zhengding area. The third phase project of Line 1 starts from Huaian Road Station in the west and ends at Xiwang Station in the first phase project in the east. It is laid along Shangzhuang Street and Zhongshan West Road. The total length of the line is 3.77 kilometers. There are 2 stations, all of which are underground stations. Passing through Luquan District and Qiaoxi District, it mainly connects the residential areas along Shangzhuang Avenue and the residential areas along Zhongshan West Road and other passenger flow collection and distribution points in series.

Recently, the main project of Hubei Songzi Pumped Storage Power Station, which China Energy Engineering Gezhouba Group participated in, started construction. The power station is located in Songzi City, Jingzhou, with a total installed capacity of 1200 megawatts, and belongs to the first-class large (1) type project. Gezhouba Group undertakes the construction of the upper reservoir and the installation of metal structures, with a contract amount of 712 million yuan and a construction period of 48.5 months. After the completion of the power station, it will undertake tasks such as peak shaving, valley filling, energy storage, and frequency regulation, which is of great significance for ensuring the safety of the power grid and supporting the consumption of new energy.Editor/Cheng Liting
On June 1, 2026, the Guangzhou Eastern Center Intelligent Fusion New Energy Storage Industry Demonstration Project invested and constructed by Zengtou Energy Company, a subsidiary of Zengcheng Urban Investment Group, officially started construction. The total investment of the project is nearly 467 million yuan, and a new 150MW/300MWh electrochemical independent energy storage power station will be built. It will adopt lithium iron phosphate battery technology and be connected to the power grid at 110kV, with the functions of peak shaving, frequency regulation, and promoting the consumption of new energy. The project is supported by a comprehensive operation and maintenance building, an electrical building, and auxiliary facilities such as fire protection, and is promoted through an integrated construction and operation model.Editor/Cheng Liting
