[The rural large-scale water supply project in Shenxi Town, Zunyi has started construction] Recently, the large-scale water supply project for rural areas in Shenxi Town, Honghuagang District, Zunyi City, has successfully started construction. This marks the beginning of a systematic solution to the problem of insufficient water supply that has plagued Shenxi Town for many years. After completion, it will comprehensively improve the drinking water quality of 36000 people in the area and inject water conservancy energy into rural revitalization. Previously, some areas of Shenxi Town had insufficient water supply capacity for a long time, and during peak water use periods, the 32689 residents originally covered by Shenxi Water Plant had a shortage of drinking water, which hindered local development. The Party Group of Honghuagang District Water Affairs Bureau has taken "solving the urgent difficulties and worries of the masses" as its core goal, implemented precise policies, and listed this project as a key project for promoting people's livelihood in the year. The total investment of this project is expected to be 23.9478 million yuan, with the core of improving the village and town water supply system. The construction content includes adding supplementary water sources to enhance water source stability, expanding the Shenxi Water Plant and upgrading water production facilities to improve water supply capacity, and extending the water supply network to cover remote areas. After the implementation of the project, the water supply gap in the original coverage area of Shenxi Water Plant will be solved. Editor/Cheng Liting

• [Chinese banks assist in landing 15GW clean energy project]
• In the global energy transition wave, Saudi Arabia's actions are attracting the attention of the world. Recently, Saudi energy giant ACWA Power announced that it has secured a massive financing of up to $5.95 billion for its 15GW clean energy projects. This funding will be used to support two wind power projects and five photovoltaic projects located within Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the clear strategy of this oil kingdom to extend its energy dominance through new energy. This financing can be regarded as a "national team global tour", attracting 29 financial institutions from the Gulf region, Europe, China, Japan and other places to participate. Among them, several Chinese financial institutions, including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and China Minsheng Bank, have provided strong support. The loan term is as long as 27 years, reflecting the confidence of international capital in the long-term prospects of Saudi Arabia's new energy development. The equity structure of the project is jointly held by ACWA Power, Badeel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi sovereign fund PIF, and Saudi Aramco Power Company. This national level risk sharing model greatly enhances market confidence. All projects are expected to be fully operational from the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028. Saudi Arabia's rapid execution capability is in line with its strategy of seizing the future "second pot of gold" - by building a globally leading low-cost green power base, laying the foundation for future industries such as hydrogen energy and green metallurgy, and reshaping its role in the global energy landscape.

• [Chinese energy storage companies have won consecutive large orders in Europe]
• Chinese energy storage companies have recently made significant breakthroughs in the European market. With the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in Europe expected to exceed the 100GW mark by November 2025, the market is entering a critical stage of large-scale development. In this context, China Automotive New Energy has signed a 2GWh energy storage strategic cooperation agreement with Belgian energy company AVESTA, while Kubo Energy has also reached a 1GWh strategic cooperation agreement with Romania's VoltLink Energy. As a joint venture between multiple Chinese state-owned enterprises in the field of power batteries, China Automotive New Energy has obtained over 14GWh of energy storage orders worldwide by 2025. Kubo Energy continues to focus on the European market, and this cooperation aims to build an energy service ecosystem that covers the entire chain. The signing of these orders reflects a structural change in the European energy storage market from household use to large-scale project dominance, driven by a significant improvement in energy storage economics. From 2022 to 2025, the cost of European LFP energy storage systems has decreased by about 37%, and the reform of the electricity market has created a diversified revenue model of "energy arbitrage+ancillary services" for energy storage. Despite Europe's ambitious goal of 500-780 GWh by 2030, the path to achieving it still faces challenges. The lengthy approval process and fragmented internal market may constrain the pace of development. The strong entry of Chinese energy storage companies not only seizes the opportunity of market explosion, but also injects key technological products and solutions into Europe's energy transformation.
