[PowerChina Newly Signed Zambia Photovoltaic Grid Connection Project]Recently, PowerChina Hydropower 11th Bureau signed a contract with Zambia Copper Strip Energy Company for the grid connection project of the Itingpi photovoltaic power station. This project is invested and developed by Copper Strip Energy Company, located in the Kitwei Itingpi area of Zambia's Economic and Electrical Load Copper Strip Province. It is a grid connected supporting facility for the Itingpi Photovoltaic Power Station under construction by the 11th Hydroelectric Bureau. The main work includes the design, procurement, and full process construction of the 50 MW photovoltaic power station grid connected transmission, including civil engineering, electromechanical, control and monitoring, and all other on-site engineering. After the completion of the project, it will provide guarantees for the smooth generation and grid connection of photovoltaic power stations, which is of great significance in alleviating regional electricity demand conflicts and enhancing green power supply capabilities.

From January to April 2026, the freight volume of the Russia China railway increased by 3% year-on-year, reaching 62.7 million tons, and the container transportation volume steadily increased. Among them, Russia exports a considerable amount of resource goods such as coal, iron ore, petroleum products, and fertilizers to China, while the import of chemicals, industrial products, automotive parts, and other goods from China has increased significantly. Freight transportation is divided into two channels: port and border port. The freight performance of the Outer Baikal Port is impressive. The Russian side stated that the railway freight volume between Russia and China has reached a historic high in 2025, and it is expected that the railway freight volume between the two countries will set a new record in 2026.Editor/Gong Ziwei
During Putin's visit to China, China and Russia finalized a plan to upgrade the logistics of bulk commodities, focusing on optimizing the efficiency of customs clearance at ports such as Manzhouli and Heihe, simplifying the customs declaration and inspection process, and launching the Far East Logistics Infrastructure Expansion Plan to enhance border warehousing and transit capabilities. Both sides will enhance cross-border trunk transportation capacity around core commodities such as energy, minerals, and grain, reduce logistics costs, and improve turnover efficiency. This efficient and risk resistant commodity circulation corridor will bring medium - and long-term dividends to mainline logistics enterprises and supply chain service providers. Editor/Cheng Liting
