BEIJING, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Chinadaily.com.cn:

Xiong'an seen as a window to showcase nation's prospects
Xiong’an seen as a window to showcase nation’s prospects

Xiong’an New Area in Hebei province is growing vigorously and changing with each passing day, showcasing the bright prospects of Chinese modernization and high-quality development, said a top official of the national-level economic zone.

“We will create a first-class business environment that is market-driven, law-based and internationally oriented, attracting both domestic and foreign investment for its development,” Zhang Guohua, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and secretary of the Working Committee of Xiong’an New Area of the Communist Party of China Hebei Provincial Committee, told China Daily.

The new area, established in 2017 and located about 100 kilometers southwest of downtown Beijing, was designed to relieve Beijing of functions not essential to its role as the Chinese capital.

The area aims to become a high-level socialist modern city, an important part of the world-class urban agglomeration in the BeijingTianjinHebei region, a new engine of the modern economic system and a national model for promoting high-quality development.

“From scratch, it has thrived, transforming from a plot of land into a blueprint, and now into a city,” Zhang said.

Currently, the total development area of Xiong’an spans 202 square km, with 50.3 million square meters of floor space. A total of 4,806 buildings have been constructed, and 804 km of new roads have been laid.

“Its urban infrastructure, public service and commercial service functions are steadily improving,” Zhang said, adding that the area has evolved into a thriving hub, with widespread enthusiasm and collaborative efforts driving its development.

In terms of the new area’s major role of receiving noncapital functions from Beijing, China Satellite Network Group was one of the first of the relocated enterprises and has fully moved to Xiong’an, while Sinochem Holdings and China Huaneng Group will relocate in the second half of this year. All three are central State-owned enterprises that are conglomerates in their respective fields.

In addition, since 2023, 104 secondary and tertiary subsidiaries of central enterprises have settled there, and central enterprises have established more than 300 various branches.

The locations of the second group of relocated projects have basically been determined, and the third group is being promoted in an orderly manner, Zhang said.

While attracting business giants from various fields, Xiong’an focuses on building a hub of innovation and a hotbed of entrepreneurship in the new era, with the strategy of innovation-driven development being fully implemented.

“By giving play to the leading role of the relocated central enterprises, the industrial chain of aerospace information and satellite internet has gradually taken shape,” Zhang said.

More than 10 innovation platforms, such as the Science and Technology Innovation Center and Zhongguancun Science Park have been established, forming an innovation system covering all links from original innovation to large-scale commercial application, he added.

Meanwhile, 17 top-level academician-led projects have successively settled in Xiong’an, and 37,900 talented personnel have chosen to stay to pursue their dreams.

There’s another reason that business giants and talent were attracted to the area — Xiong’an is at the cutting edge of China’s reform and opening-up.

According to Zhang, a total of 175 reform tasks in 12 aspects have been determined, forming a series of institutional mechanisms with Xiong’an characteristics, and systematically promoting the modernization of the governance system and capacity.

In addition, a total of 41 institutional innovation achievements have been made, and open platforms such as a high-tech zone, a free-trade zone, a comprehensive bonded zone and a cross-border e-commerce industrial park have been built.

“Our goal is to build an innovative, charming and future-oriented city that is magnificent and desirable,” Zhang said.

Jiangsu Changzhou: Accelerating the Development of Vehicle Network Infrastructure

CHANGZHOU,China, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with seven other departments, jointly announced the second batch of comprehensive electrification pilot zones for public domain vehicles. Changzhou City was successfully selected as one of these pilot zones.

As a leader in urban energy transformation, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company is leveraging innovative technologies to accelerate the development of a new power system that integrates “vehicle-charging station-network” collaboration. This initiative provides robust support for the innovative applications of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interaction, photovoltaic storage and charging, and intelligent network connectivity in Changzhou.

In recent years, the visibility of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in Changzhou has significantly increased, leading to a growing demand for charging infrastructure. State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has focused on optimizing the layout of charging facilities, creating a “5-minute charging service circle” in central urban areas. To date, the company has operated 557 public charging stations and 2,893 charging piles. In response to residential needs, an innovative “unified construction and unified service” model for charging facilities in old residential areas has been launched, resulting in the establishment of 153 public charging stations across 102 residential areas. In 2024, there were 36,007 applications for residential charging piles, marking a 37.7% increase compared to the previous year, effectively addressing the issue of limited charging access.

Simultaneously, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company is actively exploring V2G technology, enabling electric vehicles (EVs) to serve as mobile energy storage units and transforming one-way charging into bidirectional energy exchange. The company has pioneered V2G demonstrations in the public transportation sector, organizing 390 NEVs and 9 charging stations to participate in grid valley filling auxiliary services, aggregating 15,000 kilowatts of adjustable load. Additionally, the application of V2G technology through 10 urban public power stations and 5 bus-dedicated power stations has facilitated market-oriented participation of EVs in grid peak regulation, positioning them as a new force in flexible grid management.

The smooth operation of the vehicle network depends on both versatile charging stations and a flexible power grid. Currently, the company has constructed over 30 integrated photovoltaic-storage-charging stations, such as the Anyang Li social parking lot, and has innovatively established standards for “photovoltaic-storage-charging integrated micro-grid systems.” Through collaborative operations involving photovoltaic power generation, energy storage peak adjustment, and orderly charging, the “green content” of NEV consumption has been significantly improved while reducing operational costs. Jiangsu Province has also built the first municipal virtual power plant monitoring and management platform, which aggregates micro-grid, charging pile, and 5G base station resources from 3,508 households, with a total capacity of 586,700 kilowatts. The platform’s maximum upward adjustment capacity is 161,200 kilowatts, and its maximum downward adjustment capacity is 131,600 kilowatts, significantly enhancing the level of renewable energy consumption and grid flexibility.

In 2025, Changzhou will accelerate research on core technologies such as grid-friendly charging and swapping stations, optimize the charging peak and valley electricity price mechanism, promote orderly charging in public areas and residential communities, and conduct V2G pilot demonstrations. These efforts aim to cultivate a new industrial ecosystem of vehicle and network integration and interaction, promoting the high-quality development of the NEV industry.

“We will seize this opportunity to make every electric vehicle a ‘mobile energy cube’ for the power grid, contributing to the construction of a large-scale, intelligent, and efficient vehicle network interaction system,” said Qian Yuxuan, Intelligent Electricity Specialist at State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company Marketing Department. With the continuous improvement of the vehicle network interaction system, Changzhou is advancing towards the fast lane of NEV industry and grid collaborative development.
