[Dongfang Electric wins Serbia's largest wind power project]On January 5, 2026, Dongfang Wind Power, a subsidiary of China Eastern Electric Group, signed a contract with Serbia for the supply of the main engine for the Vitello 300 MW wind power project. This project is not only the largest new energy project in Serbia to date, but also the largest wind power project under construction in Eastern Europe.
The total investment of the project is about 495 million euros, and 48 6.25-megawatt wind turbines will be installed, which will be invested and constructed by China Power Construction Group. After completion, the project is expected to provide approximately 774 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, with an operating period of 30 years. It will strongly support Serbia's energy structure transformation and become a landmark project for energy cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries. Editor/Gao Xue
The coverage rate of the national water network has reached 80.3%, and its strategic significance far exceeds the scope of engineering, becoming a key cornerstone for China to ensure water security and support high-quality development. Through key projects such as Huai River management and Chongqing Yuxi, the water network not only systematically solves the problem of uneven distribution of water resources, but also unleashes multidimensional value in water supply guarantee (such as enabling 5 million people in Hebei to bid farewell to bitter and salty water) and ecological restoration, such as the Mother River Revitalization Action. It is not only an important carrier for stabilizing investment and expanding domestic demand to activate the basin economy, but also lays a solid "water support" for China's long-term stability.Editor/Cheng Liting
On January 16, 2026, storage chip giant Micron Technology officially started construction of its giant wafer fab in New York State, USA. The total investment of this project is as high as 100 billion US dollars, making it the largest private investment project in the history of New York State. The factory will include four advanced manufacturing facilities aimed at meeting the demand for storage chips in rapidly growing fields such as artificial intelligence.
According to reports, the plan was delayed for about a year and a half due to environmental assessment. According to the latest plan, the first factory is scheduled to start production in 2030, and it is expected to create approximately 9000 job opportunities after completion by 2045. Micron's move aims to expand its market share in the global high bandwidth storage and DRAM markets, challenging the current landscape dominated by Samsung and Hynix. Editor/Gao Xue
