[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.

On April 14, 2026, the first phase of the West Elevated Ramp Project of Changsha High speed Railway West Station officially started construction. The project includes interchange ramps, elevated main lines, and fire exits, with a total length of approximately 6.632 kilometers. The first phase of the project includes a bridge spanning Guoliang Road and multiple mainline bridges. At present, construction access road repair and equipment entry are underway, and pile foundation construction is expected to start on April 20th. The first pile foundation will use rotary drilling technology to ensure drilling accuracy and control geological disturbance.Editor/Cheng Liting
On April 14, 2026, the Zhongke Aerospace Lijian-1 Y12 rocket successfully launched "One Rocket, Eight Stars" from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Experimental Zone. This mission adopts the "special vehicle" launch mode, compressing the contract to launch cycle to 6 months, marking the official entry of China's commercial aerospace into the era of "flight based" mass production. Relying on a pulsating production line, the rocket assembly cycle has been reduced to 30 days, and the future annual production will reach 30 missiles. Editor/Cheng Liting
