CATL Begins Construction of New Plant in Beijing
China’s leading battery manufacturer, CATL, has commenced the construction of a new state-of-the-art plant in Beijing. This facility aims to enhance the production of advanced battery technologies, particularly for electric vehicles (EVs). In 2023, CATL accounted for 35% of the global EV battery market share, and this new plant is expected to further solidify its dominance. The project is anticipated to create thousands of jobs and stimulate local economic growth, making it an attractive prospect for foreign investors and partners in the energy and automotive sectors.

Virtual Power System Benefits NW China
A new virtual power system in Northwest China is bringing tangible benefits by optimizing energy distribution and reducing costs. This system integrates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the power grid.
