[Shanghai Line 13 East Extension Project officially starts construction]May 28, 2023 is the 30th anniversary of the operation of the Shanghai Metro. With the order from the main venue, the grooving machine located on the construction site of Gaoke Middle Road Station of Pudong Line 13 East Extension started smoothly, which means that the construction of Line 13 East Extension Project has officially started. The construction of Shanghai Metro Line 13 began in 2008 and is now operating in sections. Among them, in 2012, the western section of the first phase project, from Jinyun Road Station to Jinshajiang Road Station, was opened for operation. In 2014, the eastern section of the first phase project, from Longde Road Station to Changshou Road Station, was opened for operation. In 2015, the western section of the second phase project, from Changshou Road Station to Expo Avenue Station, was opened for operation. In December 2018, the eastern section of the second phase project and the third phase project, from Expo Avenue Station to Zhangjiang Road Station, were opened for operation. The eastern extension project of Line 13 is 4.52km long, which starts from the eastern end of Zhangjiang Road of the completed Phase III Project of Line 13 and ends at the integrated circuit design Industrial Park. There are two underground stations along the East Extension Line, namely Gaoke Middle Road Station and Dangui Road Station. Editor/He Yuting
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
