On October 16, 2026, the first unit of the CGN Tuanfeng Weijiachong Pumped Storage Power Station was put into commercial operation, which is the first small and medium-sized pumped storage project to be put into operation during China's 15th Five Year Plan period. As the first small and medium-sized pumped storage power station in China to adopt a "runway type" semi underground factory building, this project has built the deepest semi underground factory building shaft in China, which will strongly support the construction of the Hubei Province source grid load storage collaborative interactive power system.Editor/Cheng Liting
On October 15, 2026, the largest comprehensive test platform for electric driven double trailer large compressors in China, built by Dongfang Electric, was completed and put into operation. This platform focuses on three core functions: basic research, prototype verification, and factory inspection. It can conduct aerodynamic performance tests at all levels of axial flow and centrifugal compressors, build blade and element level databases, and provide data support for unit design.
