Recently, Jinko Energy Storage and Eturn successfully signed a cooperation agreement for a 40 MWh cell energy storage project in Germany. This cooperation marks an important milestone in jointly promoting Germany's energy transition and deploying advanced energy storage projects. As Germany continues to accelerate renewable energy development, BESS are becoming key infrastructure for ensuring power grid stability and improving renewable energy utilization rates. For utility-scale energy storage projects, not only are advanced technical solutions required, but also reliable project execution capabilities, strong delivery capabilities, and long-term operational support. Roberto Murgioni, General Manager of Jinko Energy Storage Europe, said: "Germany continues to lead Europe's energy transition, with growing demand for safe, reliable, and efficient energy storage solutions. We are pleased to further deepen our cooperation with Eturn through this 40 MWh project, which will become an important step in supporting grid flexibility enhancement and renewable energy integration. Jinko Energy Storage will continue to leverage advanced technology, expertise, and long-term service capabilities to help partners jointly create a more sustainable future.

From January to June, the Northeast China Power Grid's new energy power generation reached 120.6 billion kWh, surpassing 35% of the total power generation for the first time and ranking first among all regional grids in China. The maximum new energy power output hit 51.67 million kW, accounting for up to 68% of total power output and 73.9% of total electricity consumption—both record highs—signaling a breakthrough in the grid's green and low-carbon transformation. The Northeast Branch of State Grid Corporation of China mobilized four provincial-level power companies within the region to establish a special task force for advancing high-quality new energy development under the Northeast China Power Grid. The task force conducted rolling analyses of new energy accommodation conditions, refined key measures to support new energy growth, and made every effort to expand accommodation capacity. The company optimized reservoir drawdown strategies to free up generation space during the spring high-wind periods when new energy output surged. During periods of accommodation difficulty, it arranged peak-shaving operation for nuclear power units and fully utilized pumped-storage stations for pumping and energy storage power stations for charging. Market-based measures were also employed, urging new energy stations to participate in inter-provincial spot trading, expanding cross-regional transmission, and leveraging intra-regional medium- and long-term continuous trading and mutual support trading to optimize power resource allocation. Since the beginning of the year, the Northeast Branch of State Grid has facilitated the grid connection of 12.48 million kW of new energy generation capacity. The Northeast China Power Grid's total installed new energy capacity reached 140 million kW, exceeding 50% of the total, with the new energy utilization rate remaining high. Amid rapid capacity growth, this represents an "increased capacity with stable utilization rate.

Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Organizing the Development of National Zero-Carbon Factories" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), officially launching the construction of national zero-carbon factories. The PV industry is an advantageous industry in China's clean energy equipment manufacturing sector, providing critical equipment support for the green and low-carbon transformation of energy while facing the important task of enhancing the low-carbon level of manufacturing processes and strengthening the green competitiveness of products. Guided by the "dual carbon" goals, promoting the PV industry to accelerate the construction of national zero-carbon factories is not only a key path to adhering to the priority of energy conservation and systematically promoting deep decarbonization of the industry, but also a strategic measure to cultivate new quality productive forces and help the industrial sector achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality on schedule.
