[Put into operation in 2026, with an annual production capacity of 150000 tons] Vietnam's Duonong Electrolytic Aluminum Plant announced that the first phase of the project is scheduled to start production in the second quarter of 2026, with an initial annual production capacity of 150000 tons. The total investment of this project is approximately 18.42 trillion Vietnamese dong. It was once stalled due to funding and technical issues, but has now received special financing support and will achieve full production of 450000 tons by 2028. After the project is put into operation, it will improve the local aluminum industry chain in Vietnam, reduce dependence on aluminum imports, and is expected to create thousands of job opportunities, injecting new impetus into the regional economy.Editor/Gao Xue

• [Independent Energy Storage Denied Green Certificates for Discharge, NEA Says]
• On January 7, 2026, the National Energy Administration of China issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Renewable Energy Green Power Certificates (Trial)". The document clearly stipulates that independent energy storage facilities do not issue green certificates for the discharge of electricity. At the same time, renewable energy generation projects equipped with energy storage must measure the power generation facilities and energy storage facilities separately; For projects that have not been separately measured at this stage, green certificates will be issued based on the principle of deducting off grid electricity from on grid electricity. This regulation further standardizes the scope of green certificate issuance, which helps guide the compliant and orderly development of energy storage and renewable energy generation.Editor/Yang Meiling
