After the Chinese New Year, the PV power generation project in the relocation resettlement area of Gaoluo Subdistrict, Ceheng County, Guizhou Province, quickly resumed work and production, carrying out final engineering work such as ground clearing and cable trench restoration, as well as grid connection commissioning. The project has a total installed capacity of 3,200 kW, with annual power generation expected to exceed 1.13 million kWh and annual output value of about 390,000 yuan. It will also provide 450 parking spaces in carports, and part of the revenue will be used for community management and to strengthen the collective village economy.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), affected by the Chinese New Year holiday, China's consumer price index (CPI) in February rose 1.0% MoM and 1.3% YoY, while core CPI, excluding food and energy prices, rose 1.8% YoY.

According to Cailian Press, ① Google and Tesla formed a “Grid Utilization Alliance,” and the AI power shortage logic is expected to continue playing out. ② Europe has already incurred about EUR 3 billion in additional fuel import spending, and the conflict may drive a new round of explosive demand for household ESS. ③ Demand for space-based PV is expected to see exponential growth, opening up brand-new growth opportunities for China’s PV producers.
