[Successful Signing of G7611 Xichang Shangri La Sichuan Expressway Project]Recently, Sichuan Highway and Bridge Construction Group Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sichuan Road and Bridge Construction Group Co., Ltd., signed the "General Contracting Contract for the Construction of ZCB-3 Contract Section of the G7611 Xichang Shangri La Sichuan Expressway Project" with Sichuan Xixiang Expressway Construction and Development Co., Ltd., and the Road and Bridge Group will undertake the general contracting task for the construction of ZCB-3 Contract Section of the G7611 Xichang Shangri La Sichuan Expressway Project. The project content of this agreement is the construction of the ZCB-3 contract section (AK18+861~C5K134+440, M10K8+166) of the Sichuan Expressway from Xichang to Shangri La on the G7611 line ˉ M7K40+003.675) construction, mainly responsible for temporary engineering, roadbed, pavement, bridge and culvert, tunnel, intersection engineering, traffic safety, greening, housing construction, electromechanical, smart highway construction, and corresponding engineering restoration during the defect liability period. The total contract amount is approximately 32.408 billion yuan. The total construction period of the contract section is 54 months. The construction of this project is of great significance for improving the national and Sichuan Yunnan highway network, constructing a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation corridor in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, driving the development of tourism, mineral and cultural resources, and promoting high-quality economic development in the Panxi region. After the completion and opening to traffic, the history of no highways in Yanyuan and Muli counties will come to an end. Editor/Zhao E
On June 25, 2026, the 750 kV transmission and transformation project in Changbei, Xinjiang, with a total investment of 1.3125 billion yuan, began construction and is scheduled to be put into operation in 2028. The project involves the construction of a 750 kV substation and 56.8 kilometers of supporting lines, which can accommodate 10 million kilowatts of new energy and serve the local 20 million kilowatts of planned photovoltaics. The project aims to address the shortcomings of the new energy transmission network in the Gurbantunggut Desert, while also considering the growth of regional electricity consumption. In 2026, Xinjiang will promote 35 ultra-high voltage and extra high voltage power grid projects, continuously improve the local new power system, and help promote dual carbon development.Editor/Gong Ziwei
On June 25, 2026, the Zhejiang Tiantai Pumped Storage Power Station with a total installed capacity of 1.7 million kilowatts was put into operation. This power station is the world's highest rated head and the largest single unit capacity pumped storage power station in China. It is also the first pumped storage project to be put into operation during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Constructed by Three Gorges Group, we have overcome a series of ultra-high water head technologies and achieved breakthroughs in the localization of multiple materials and construction equipment. The power station can provide 1.7 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, strengthen the regulation capacity of Zhejiang power grid, and assist in the consumption of new energy and the green transformation of energy.Editor/Gong Ziwei
