[PowerChina signed a contract with Swaziland's Mopakeni Dam Project] On May 5, 2023, PowerChina signed a contract with the Mupakne Dam Project in Swaziland. This is the first engineering contracting project signed by a Chinese-funded enterprise in this country, which is of great significance. The owner of the project is the Swaziland Water Conservancy and Agricultural Development Corporation. The project is located in the Shiseluvene area in southern Swaziland. The main project content includes the construction of a 67-meter-high clay core rockfill dam, supporting stilling pools, 10 kilometers of permanent access roads, owner camps, and dam instrument installation, etc., with a planned construction period of 1,550 days. After the completion of the project, it will promote the country's agricultural development, ensure food security, and realize the diversification of crop planting. It is of great significance to the eradication of hunger and poverty reduction in Swaziland, and contributes to regional and global development goals. Edit/Ma Xue

• [Zhejiang Jiashan provides special subsidies for energy storage photovoltaic projects]
• On December 15, 2025, the Development and Reform Bureau of Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province organized the application for special funds for distributed photovoltaic county-level subsidies. The policy is clear that for photovoltaic power generation projects that are equipped with energy storage systems and subject to grid coordinated scheduling, an additional one-time energy storage capacity subsidy will be implemented. Among them, the subsidy standards for projects put into operation in 2021, 2022, and 2023 are 200 yuan, 180 yuan, and 170 yuan/kilowatt year, respectively. Projects that meet the requirements must be approved and filed, and the annual utilization hours must not be less than 600 hours. Projects that have already received subsidies from higher authorities will not be eligible for this subsidy again.Editor/Yang Meiling

• [The first hybrid energy storage station in the country has been put into operation]
• The first large-scale lithium sodium hybrid grid type energy storage station in China, Qiubei Baochi Energy Storage Station, has been officially put into operation in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, marking a key leap from technological research and development to engineering application of sodium ion battery energy storage in China. The total installed capacity of the station is 400000 kilowatts, with green electricity accounting for as much as 98%. It is expected to be able to regulate approximately 580 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 270000 households. The power station can provide stable regulation support for more than 30 new energy projects such as Jinping Xifeng Electric Field and Honghuashan Photovoltaic Power Station. As of December 2025, the power station has completed 612 charging and discharging cycles, with a cumulative charging and discharging capacity of 210 million kilowatt hours, and an expected annual output value of 68 million yuan.Editor/Yang Meiling
