[The demonstration project of the National Key R&D Program has started construction] On September 24th, the key technology demonstration project for wide load peak shaving and ultra-low emissions of circulating fluidized bed boilers in the 14th Five Year National Key R&D Plan was officially launched at Shanxi Shuozhou Thermal Power Company. This project brings together top universities, research institutes, and power generation enterprises such as Huadian Shanxi Shuozhou Thermal Power Company, Tsinghua University, and Huadian Electric Power Research Institute. Its aim is to promote the development of circulating fluidized bed boiler technology to a new height of "two highs and two lows" through the integrated application of original technologies, such as efficient collaborative control of sulfur and nitrogen pollutants, rapid load adjustment, and ultra-low emissions of pollutants under a wide load. It will help coal-fired power generation enterprises achieve low-carbon and flexible transformation, and lay a solid technical foundation for building a new type of power system. Given that Shanxi, as an important energy base and pilot province for the electricity spot market, has a new energy installed capacity of over 55 million kilowatts, but the intermittency and volatility of new energy pose challenges to the stability of the power grid, this project will focus on solving the technical problems of circulating fluidized bed boilers during low load and peak shaving processes, increasing the unit load change rate by more than 30% and adding 10% peak shaving potential, thereby significantly enhancing the flexibility, economy, and reliability of coal-fired power generation units, and setting an example for the industry's green and low-carbon transformation.

• [Liaoyuan will welcome its first high-speed railway]
• On January 29, 2026, Jilin Province announced that the route and station location of the Liaoyuan section of the Changsi Liaotong high-speed railway have been determined. The project is designed with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a total length of approximately 334 kilometers, which will end the history of Liaoyuan not being connected to high-speed railways. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that it is making every effort to promote the approval of pre feasibility studies and ensure their completion and opening to traffic by the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period. At that time, the travel time from Changchun to Liaoyuan will be shortened to about 45 minutes, and it will help Jilin achieve the goal of "connecting cities with high-speed rail".Editor/Gao Xue

• [Zhiguang Electric's profit forecast increases]
• At the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan in 2026, State Grid and Southern Power Grid launched a nearly 5 trillion yuan investment plan, with energy storage becoming a key development focus. Zhiguang Electric announced on the evening of January 27th that it expects a net profit attributable to the parent company of 110 million to 160 million yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 133.69% to 149.01%, achieving a turnaround from losses to profits, mainly due to the rapid development of energy storage business and significant growth in orders and revenue. The company's cascaded high-voltage energy storage system is adapted to the three major upgrade areas of the power grid and has been successfully implemented in energy storage projects in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and other places. It is expected to further grow in the new round of power grid construction.Editor/Gao Xue
