[The Luquan project of China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau has started construction] Recently, the microgrid energy storage and charging system project undertaken by China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau, a state-owned enterprise stationed in Tianjin, has grandly started construction in Luquan District, Shijiazhuang, officially entering the construction phase. This project is an important layout in the field of new energy, deeply integrating the functions of "charging+energy storage+photovoltaics", aiming to build an efficient, green, and sustainable integrated energy operation system. After completion, it will rely on microgrid technology to achieve intelligent collaborative scheduling of photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and charging facilities. Photovoltaic power generation utilizes the light resources of Luquan to provide green power, while energy storage systems such as "super power banks" balance power supply and demand, improve utilization efficiency. The layout of charging facilities will improve the urban charging network and promote green travel. It is worth mentioning that China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau has rich experience in the field of new energy, and has successfully undertaken multiple green and smart supercharging station projects. This project will further consolidate its leading position. Meanwhile, in recent years, the new energy industry in Luquan District has developed significantly. The commencement of this project will promote industrial agglomeration and lay the foundation for building a green and low-carbon energy ecosystem. 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.
