[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.

The 40 wind turbines of the 200 MW wind power project in Quguogamu, Xizang, contracted by Powerchina, have all been hoisted recently, marking a critical step towards the goal of full capacity grid connection of the largest wind power project under construction in Xizang. The average altitude of the project site exceeds 4800 meters, with the highest machine position reaching 4850 meters, which is recognized as the industry's restricted area for wind power construction. After the project is fully put into operation, the annual on grid electricity is expected to exceed 436 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to saving 131500 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 359400 tons per year.

The water level of the Danube River has been slowly rising recently, and the cooling water conditions have improved. The Baokesh Nuclear Power Plant will gradually resume power supply from August 10, 2026, and has begun to increase the power generation of Unit 2. Previously, due to the low water level of the Danube River and insufficient cooling water sources, Units 1, 3, and 4 of the Baokesh Nuclear Power Plant were shut down, while Unit 2 operated at 50% power for 11 days.
