[Hunan plans to build Yuanling Cheping Pumped Storage Power Station]Recently, the Hunan Provincial People's Government issued the "Notice on the Prohibition of Prohibiting New Construction Projects and Immigrant Population in the Land Occupation and Submerged Area of the Yuanling Cheping Pumped Storage Power Station Project", which indicates that the Yuanling Cheping Pumped Storage Power Station Project The construction has officially entered the track of rapid and high-quality construction, and officially entered the key implementation and construction stages of project reservoir area resettlement, land pre-examination, and provincial development and Reform Commission approval. It is reported that the Yuanling Cheping pumped storage power station project is a layout project of the 16th Five-Year Plan of the National Energy Administration's "Pumped Storage Medium and Long-Term Development Plan (2021-2035)". In 2022, it will be a key implementation project of the 14th Five-Year Plan in Hunan Province. Yuanling Cheping Pumped Storage Power Station is located at the junction of Zimuxi Township, Daheping Township and Huochang Township, Yuanling County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province. The power station is a first-class (1) project with a total installed capacity of 1,200MW and four 300MW reversible hydroelectric generator sets. The main pivotal buildings of the project include upper reservoir, lower reservoir, water delivery system, underground powerhouse system and ground switch station, etc. The Upper Reservoir is located in the top valley of the upper reaches of Xiejiaxi, Daheping Township. It was formed by damming and expanding the reservoir. The normal storage level is 588m, the stagnant water level is 547m, the adjusted storage capacity is 9.936 million m3, and the maximum dam height of the reinforced concrete face rockfill dam is 108m. The lower reservoir is located in Nanxiping Village, Jiemuxi Township. The normal storage level is 242m, the stagnant water level is 225m, and the maximum dam height of the roller compacted concrete gravity dam is 54m. The water delivery system is arranged with two holes and four machines, and the underground powerhouse is arranged in the middle. The initial construction period of the first unit of the project is 60 months, and the total construction period is 69 months. The static investment of the project is about 8 billion yuan.

On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
