【SMM PV News】The Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on supplementing and adjusting the development and construction plan for onshore wind power and PV power stations in Shanghai for 2025.

A leading petrochemical plant halted one production resumption line yesterday, and today another line started producing LDPE. In the short term, the enterprise's production schedule will maintain parallel production of one high-pressure material line and one PV material line. After this line adjustment, the plant's PV material output scale has contracted somewhat.

On August 31, 2026, the Huaneng Shaanxi Shenmu 100,000 kW PV power generation project achieved full-capacity grid connection, marking that the installed capacity of Huaneng Shaanxi New Energy Branch exceeded 3 million kW. Since the commencement of the Shenmu project, in the face of multiple challenges such as frequent windy and sandy weather in northern Shaanxi, complex terrain and landforms, constrained construction conditions, and tight schedule periods, all builders have united their efforts, overcome difficulties, and pursued excellence. They strictly implemented safety production and quality control requirements, scientifically coordinated construction plans, optimized construction process flows, and orderly advanced key tasks including booster station construction, solar panel mounting bracket installation, module laying, collector line installation, and equipment debugging and calibration. Through refined management, standardized construction, and regularized problem-solving, they efficiently resolved various difficulties and bottlenecks during the construction process, steadily advanced the project construction progress, and successfully completed the perfect conclusion from first grid connection to full-capacity grid connection, fully demonstrating Huaneng's speed, Huaneng's responsibility, and Huaneng's quality.

Recently, under the witness of TÜV Rheinland, an internationally authoritative certification body, APsystems' APstorage 261L energy storage integrated cabinet passed the globally recognized and extremely challenging UL 9540A thermal runaway propagation test, delivering impressive results: the product successfully contained thermal runaway within a single cabinet and did not spread to adjacent cabinets, with actual performance far exceeding standard requirements. This successful pass serves as a "safety passport" for the product to enter global markets and will further strengthen the core competitiveness of APsystems' APstorage commercial and industrial energy storage in markets outside China.
