[Jixi Jiapeng Pumped Storage Power Station Connection Road Project Starts Construction]On November 9, 2025, the construction of Jiapeng Pumped Storage Power Station in Jixi, Anhui Province reached a critical milestone - the construction of the connecting road between the upper and lower reservoirs officially broke ground. As the core transportation artery connecting the "brain" (upper reservoir) and "heart" (lower reservoir) of the power station, this road is a key lifeline to ensure the transportation of large-scale electromechanical equipment and smooth daily construction organization in the future. Its construction progress will directly affect the production plan and overall efficiency of the entire power station. Jiapeng Pumped Storage Power Station is a key energy project in the national "14th Five Year Plan", with a total investment scale of over 8 billion yuan and a designed installed capacity of up to 1.4 million kilowatts. After the completion of the project, it will mainly undertake tasks such as peak shaving, valley filling, energy storage, and emergency backup for Anhui Power Grid and even East China Power Grid. It has irreplaceable strategic significance for optimizing the regional energy structure, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system, and supporting the large-scale integration of intermittent new energy sources (such as wind power and photovoltaics) into the grid. The construction of this critical road marks a new stage in the comprehensive promotion of this giant "green power bank" from early preparation to the main project. Editor/Cheng Liting
On June 6, 2026, the first arch of the underground powerhouse of the largest pumped storage power station under construction in western China, Qinghai Wanrang Pumped Storage Power Station, officially began construction, marking the beginning of the main construction period of the cavern for this giant energy heart rooted in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The construction of the underground powerhouse has reached an important milestone, and the project construction has entered a new stage of construction.Editor/Gong Ziwei
On June 4, 2026, China Southern Power Grid Corporation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Laos signed a joint construction agreement for the China Laos New Power System Technology Joint Laboratory in Beijing. The China Laos Joint Laboratory of Electric Power will focus on scientific research cooperation in the fields of green energy, digital power grid, power artificial intelligence, energy planning, etc., promote the systematic construction and sharing of China Laos electric power technology standards, collaborate on energy strategy research and think tank cooperation, and strive to create a global benchmark for clean energy cooperation in the South.Editor/Gong Ziwei
