[Ningxia plans to invest 8 billion yuan in water conservancy projects by 2024]On March 20, from the "press Conference on the construction of major projects in the Autonomous Region" held by the government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, it was learned that Ningxia marked the national major strategy and the construction deployment of the pilot area of the autonomous region, scientifically planned to promote 210 water conservancy projects in 6 categories such as flood control and disaster reduction and irrigation area transformation, with a total investment of 23.5 billion yuan, and planned investment of more than 8 billion yuan in 2024. Up to now, 68 water conservancy projects have been started in Ningxia, with an investment of 5.53 billion yuan, 440% of the same period in 2023; The completed investment of 420 million yuan is 150% of the same period in 2023. In particular, key projects such as flood control project at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Guhai expansion irrigation and water upgrading, modernization of Qixing Canal irrigation area, and renovation of Hongsipu Branch trunk canal pumping station are being accelerated, and the river control project of the Ningxia section of the Yellow River is about to start. After the implementation of these projects, it will effectively improve the region's capacity for flood and drought disaster prevention, conservation and intensive use of water resources, optimal allocation of water resources, and ecological protection and management of rivers and lakes.

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
