[The wave of lithium battery capacity expansion continues] At the beginning of 2026, the production capacity of lithium iron phosphate materials and batteries will continue to expand. Fulin Precision's subsidiary plans to invest 6 billion yuan in Inner Mongolia to build a high-end lithium iron phosphate project with an annual output of 500000 tons. Wanhua Chemical has established a new energy materials company with a registered capital of 740 million yuan in Laizhou, Shandong, to serve its huge plan of producing 650000 tons of lithium iron phosphate annually. A project with an annual output of 400000 tons of lithium iron phosphate cathode material in Leshan, Sichuan has also entered the stage of environmental impact assessment and public announcement. At the same time, emerging technology routes are accelerating their implementation. The world's first 10000 ton sodium iron sulfate positive electrode material base in Meishan, Sichuan has been put into operation, the 280000 ton lithium hexafluorophosphate technological transformation project in Chizhou, Anhui has been promoted, and the 20000 ton silicon carbon negative electrode project has been signed in Inner Mongolia. In addition, Hubei Chuneng New Energy signed an order to export 6GWh energy storage products to Egypt.Editor/Gao Xue

• [Calibration of 580000 tons of electrolytic aluminum project in Xinjiang]
• In 2026, Wanji Aluminum Industry completed the general contracting bidding for the 580000 ton electrolytic aluminum project invested and constructed in Xinjiang. The total investment of the project is about 4.595 billion yuan, adopting an integrated design, procurement, and construction model, aiming to build a modern electrolytic aluminum production base. The main construction content of the project includes production facilities such as electrolysis workshop, power supply rectification, flue gas purification, and a complete set of public auxiliary systems. This move conforms to the policy orientation of transferring the aluminum industry to clean energy rich areas, and will utilize Xinjiang's energy advantages to promote the development and industrial upgrading of the local aluminum based new material industry cluster.Editor/Gao Xue

• [The Yunnan Central Water Diversion Project has started construction]
• On January 23, 2026, the second phase of the Yunnan Central Water Diversion Project, with a total investment of 9.994 billion yuan, officially began construction in Anning, Kunming, Yunnan. This project is a key project for the implementation of major national strategies, mainly constructing 9 water transmission trunk lines with a total length of nearly 95 kilometers and 4 pumping stations and other facilities, aiming to connect the key water transmission channels from the first phase water source to the second phase supporting project, and play a connecting role. After the completion of the project, it will effectively cover six provinces and cities including Lijiang, Dali, and Kunming, benefiting over 11 million people. The commencement of construction this time also marks the comprehensive breakthrough stage of the overall construction of the Yunnan Central Water Diversion Project.Editor/Gao Xue
