National Energy Administration: Energy Investment in 15th Five-Year Plan to Exceed 20 Trillion Yuan

The National Energy Administration announced that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), investment in key energy projects and new business forms will exceed RMB 20 trillion, significantly higher than the 14th Five-Year Plan total. The investment, averaging over RMB 100 billion per day, is divided into three dimensions: safety, transition, and new opportunities. Safety project investment rises over 10%, grid investment growth exceeds 30%, and new energy's share of power source investment nears 60%. New business forms receive over RMB 2 trillion, focusing on green hydrogen, storage, and virtual power plants.

Xingyuan Caili Says Diaphragm Prices Recover on Tight Supply-Demand, Overseas Pricing Higher

Xingyuan Caili, in an institutional research presentation, stated that the diaphragm market is experiencing tight supply-demand dynamics due to strong downstream demand from power batteries and energy storage. Diaphragm prices have stabilized and recovered, with the company implementing batch price adjustments for core customers since the market bottomed in late 2025. In the first half of 2026, mainstream wet-process base film prices recovered significantly from end-2025 levels.

China Implements National Standard for Electric Vehicle Power Battery Durability

China has implemented a national standard on electric vehicle power battery durability, defining battery available energy state as the ratio of current usable energy to new-battery usable energy. On-board readings must not deviate from measured values by more than 5%, and virtual mileage conversions must stay within 3% of measured equivalents. For light-duty passenger cars, the battery available energy state must remain at least 82% after 5 years or 100,000 km, 75% after 8 years or 160,000 km, and 70% after 10 years or 200,000 km.

NextEra Energy and Brookfield Plan $100 Billion Data Center Campus on Former Kentucky Uranium Site

NextEra Energy and Brookfield plan to invest about $100 billion to develop a data center campus on a former uranium enrichment site in Paducah, Kentucky. NextEra will build and own dedicated power facilities including 2 gigawatts of gas generation and up to 2.6 gigawatts of battery storage, while Brookfield will own and operate the 1.8-gigawatt data center campus. The project aligns with the Trump administration's policy requiring data center operators to pay above-market electricity rates. It still requires final binding agreements.
