Shanghai Minhang is building a new highland for the photovoltaic industry in the Hongqiao area, and the "N+1" project of the new energy headquarters has been launched
Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, Shanghai Real Estate Co., Ltd., Minhang District People's Government, and GCL Group Co., Ltd. officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Suzhou. According to the agreement, Sifang will establish a foothold in the Hongqiao International Central Business District and work together to build the "One Headquarters", "Two Centers", and "Two Pavilions" of GCL Group, launching the GCL Group's Digital Energy Shanghai project in the early stage.
It is understood that under the guidance of the national "dual carbon" strategy goals, Minhang District is accelerating the development of strategic emerging industries represented by new energy technologies such as photovoltaics and energy storage, vigorously introducing new energy enterprise headquarters, gathering key elements such as investment, technology, and talent from domestic and foreign advantageous new energy industries, and forming a strong industrial agglomeration trend. As of now, Minhang has attracted new energy leading enterprises such as Jingke Energy, Trina Solar, Sunshine Power, and Runyang New Energy to settle in, focusing on building a new highland for the photovoltaic industry with headquarters economy.
In July this year, in order to promote industrial empowerment and enhance the level of the headquarters economy, Minhang District and the Hongqiao International Central Business District Management Committee jointly established the "Dahongqiao Photovoltaic Industry Alliance". As an important initiator of the alliance, GCL Group will work together with the industry to play its leading role in the chain, strongly attract upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to land, and help Minhang's new energy industry supplement, strengthen, and extend the chain.
It is reported that GCL Group is a global innovative leading enterprise that integrates wind, solar, hydrogen storage, power grid, load storage and computing, new energy, clean energy, and mobile energy industries, as well as related industries such as silicon materials, lithium materials, carbon materials, and integrated circuit core materials. With leading green, low-carbon, and zero carbon technologies leading innovation and development, it has been listed in China's Top 500, China's Top 500 Private Enterprises, and the Global Top 500 New Energy for many consecutive years. It is also the chairman unit of the Global Green Energy Council.
The strategic cooperation with GCL Group this time will become an important pivot and strategic support for Minhang District to build a new energy industry cluster, while laying a solid foundation for Minhang to optimize and strengthen the headquarters economic circle. In early June of this year, Minhang District had its first contact with GCL Group and learned that GCL Group hoped to further strengthen its investment and business development in Shanghai. Subsequently, the leaders of Minhang District led multiple visits to the headquarters of GCL Group to discuss the implementation plan and promotion methods of strategic cooperation between the two sides, and ultimately promoted and reached the official landing of relevant projects in Minhang.
The successful signing of this strategic cooperation agreement signifies that the signing parties will focus on the hub area of Hongqiao International Central Business District, work together with GCL Group to anchor the "dual carbon" goal and trillion yuan energy storage track, deepen practical cooperation in the research and development of new energy technologies such as "source network load storage and charging", digital energy, green and low-carbon, and work together to create a digital energy industry cluster led by energy AI, accelerating the realization of "electric Shanghai", "digital Shanghai", and "zero carbon Shanghai". At the same time, this will further assist Minhang in building a higher-level international central business district, focusing on strengthening the headquarters economic function, improving new quality productivity, creating a new energy private enterprise headquarters cluster area, building a digital energy green industry chain, and a new ecosystem of characteristic industries, contributing Minhang's strength to the comprehensive promotion of the construction of the new power system and new energy system.
