[Tech giants enter the coastal nuclear power market] In 2026, technology and new energy enterprises are accelerating their entry into the coastal nuclear power field. Alibaba recently invested in the Xiangshan nuclear power project in Zhejiang, locking in clean energy for its computing center. Geely Group continues to participate in the Wenzhou San'ao Nuclear Power Project, with an increased shareholding ratio, forming a new pattern of "central enterprises leading and private capital empowering".
