Jiangsu’s Largest Behind-the-Meter Energy Storage Project Now Online

TAIZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A major behind-the-meter energy storage facility, developed by Jingjiang Taifu New Energy, has entered commercial service in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province. With a rated output of 120 MW and a storage capacity of 240 MWh, the Jingjiang Special Steel project is now the largest customer-sited installation of its kind in Jiangsu.

The project addresses the pressing need for decarbonization in steel manufacturing and other  energy-intensive sectors. By enabling greater on-site use of renewable energy, the system is projected to integrate up to 168 million kilowatt-hours of wind and solar power annually. This will displace approximately 20,700 metric tons of coal equivalent and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 51,500 metric tons per year. In addition to supporting the plant’s clean energy transition, the facility will enhance local grid reliability. It can deliver 120 MW of frequency and peak-shaving support during periods of high demand, including summer peaks. The deployment of grid-forming inverter technology enables flexible operation and rapid response, further strengthening the stability of the power system. 

Since the beginning of this year, State Grid Taizhou Power Supply Company, working in coordination with the Marketing Service Center of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power, has applied a distribution and storage potential assessment model to identify large industrial customers for whom energy storage offers significant economic value. Through proactive engagement with industrial parks and businesses, the team provided customized energy usage analysis and end-to-end support, ensuring the project’s successful grid integration. As a result, Taizhou’s total operational capacity of behind-the-meter storage has now surpassed 220 MW. 

The project is integrated with the Urban Energy Storage Cloud Platform, developed by State Grid Taizhou Power Supply Company, which enables intelligent monitoring, dispatch, and control. Since its launch in April 2025, the platform has connected 42 storage assets, with a combined capacity of 188 MW, significantly improving operational visibility and system management.

The Jingjiang Special Steel facility also serves as a flagship demonstration project in State Grid Taizhou Power Supply Company’s broader initiative to explore coordinated operation of “energy storage + distributed energy” and build cleaner, more efficient microgrids. By expanding the capacity for renewable energy integration, the project supports the shift toward a smarter, more sustainable regional energy system.

 

China’s First Hybrid AC-DC Power Transmission Project Completes First Scheduled Maintenance

YANGZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — State Grid Zhenjiang Power Supply Company announced on September 23 the successful completion of the first annual maintenance for China’s inaugural hybrid AC-DC power transmission project—the Yangzhou-Zhenjiang ±200 kV DC transmission system. The work is designed to enhance system reliability ahead of the high-demand winter season, supporting a stable electricity supply throughout the Yangtze River Delta region.

The initial phase of the Yangzhou-Zhenjiang DC project, which entered service in late April last year, spans approximately 110 kilometers from Gaoyou in Yangzhou to Zhenjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone. A crew of 48 technicians conducted thorough inspections of all 284 transmission towers along the route. Despite challenging conditions, including ongoing construction for subsequent project phases and coordination among multiple work teams, maintenance was carried out efficiently through detailed scheduling, ensuring all tasks were completed safely and without operational disruptions. 

The maintenance program also emphasized environmental stewardship, with crews installing protective measures such as insulated covers and artificial nests. These steps are crucial in the ecologically sensitive Yangtze River Delta, a major migratory bird flyway, as they prevent bird electrocution and protect the line’s reliability from nesting activities.

The project is an important step in addressing renewable energy integration in Jiangsu Province. It transmits wind and solar generation from the north across the Yangtze River to help meet peak electricity demand in the south. Initiated in late 2022, the project repurposed an existing AC corridor into a dedicated DC transmission line, making it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 1.6 million tons annually.

CPA Australia members in Malaysia offered Australian work placement


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 September 2025 – Eligible Malaysian CPA Australia members are first to have the chance to enjoy temporary work placement in Australia.

This is part of a broader Young Professionals Exchange Program organised by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade being made available in Malaysia first before being rolled out to other Southeast Asian markets.

Any organisation that is part of CPA Australia’s Recognised Employer Program can apply to take part in the placement program and eligible employees will be matched with participants from Australia.

The exchange program is designed to enhance business engagement between Australia and its Southeast Asia partners.

It comes as CPA Australia prepares to celebrate 70 years in Malaysia, where it now has more than 10,500 members.

CPA Australia’s Head for Southeast Asia, Priya Terumalay, says the exchange program is an exciting opportunity for both Malaysian and Australian members to gain a competitive career advantage through the experience of working in cross border markets.

“We are dedicated to enhancing the global mobility of CPA Australia members and are very proud to be taking part in this program,” said Priya.

“The Southeast Asian market is growing rapidly, so the opportunity to gain valuable work and cultural experience in the region will be hugely beneficial to Australian members and their employers.

“Accounting is a global language spoken in many different dialects, and the more you understand the better.”

The exchange program will also be beneficial to employers who already have, or are looking to improve, their business connections between Malaysia and Australia.

“This is a unique opportunity to connect with likeminded organisations and facilitate an exchange of emerging talent to gain exposure to international business relations that could prove crucial as economic ties between Malaysia and Australia continue to expand,” she said.

Sky Labs Launches CART BP, a Ring-Type Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitor

App-based “Blood Pressure Calendar” enables 24-hour tracking, including nighttime measurements

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sky Labs announced the official launch of CART BP, a ring-type personal blood pressure monitor designed for everyday use.

CART BP Device and App Interface
CART BP Device and App Interface

Worn on the finger, CART BP enables 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, including during sleep. The device has been approved by Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and was developed based on the clinically validated technology of CART BP pro, Sky Labs’ professional model adopted by hospitals as an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device.

Conventional home blood pressure monitors use cuff-based arm compression, making it difficult to measure blood pressure during sleep. As a result, capturing nighttime readings has been a major limitation.

In other words, CART BP tracks morning blood pressure, offering a natural and seamless way to follow changes throughout the day. By providing these insights, CART BP supports the early detection and prevention of serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions, including stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and myocardial infarction.

In addition, CART BP users can check blood pressure changes through the dedicated mobile app. The app’s “My Blood Pressure Calendar” feature displays average values and fluctuations by time and date in easy-to-read graphs. With this visualization, users can clearly recognize their blood pressure patterns and put personalized, systematic health management into practice.

CART BP is now available for purchase through the company’s official online store, Naver Smart Store, and Coupang. Customers first receive a sizing kit to determine the correct ring size, after which the customized device is delivered.

“CART BP brings clinically validated hospital technology into the hands of consumers,” said Jack Byunghwan Lee, CEO of Sky Labs. “Its key advantage lies in enabling management tailored to individual lifestyle patterns, including blood pressure during sleep.”

To mark the launch, Sky Labs will also carry out a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. The company will donate CART BP devices to elderly residents in isolated areas with limited medical infrastructure, thereby improving access to blood pressure monitoring and promoting community health.

About Sky Labs
Founded in September 2015, Sky Labs is a leading healthcare startup that has developed CART (Cardio Tracker), a ring-shaped medical device designed for disease monitoring using heart signals collected through optical sensors. Following this, the company developed CART BP, a cuffless, ring-shaped device that enables continuous 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, providing valuable treatment information and making a groundbreaking contribution to improving the quality of life for hypertension patients. Sky Labs has signed an exclusive domestic distribution agreement for CART BP with South Korea’s Daewoong Pharmaceutical and is preparing for nationwide sales to hospitals, clinics, and general consumers.
