Recently, the CATL New Energy Battery Base Project (Jinchui Phase I) located in Badu Town, Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, Fujian Province, is scheduled to complete delivery by the end of April 2026. Jinchui Phase I involves a total investment of approximately 2 billion yuan, covering about 900 mu of land. It plans to construct approximately 370,000 square meters of new energy battery intelligent manufacturing standard factories and supporting auxiliary facilities. Upon completion, it will become an important production base for CATL in Jiaocheng District. CATL disclosed that its production capacity reached 772 GWh in 2025, with 321 GWh under construction.

On March 17, the Phase I Expansion Stage 1 Project of CATL's Innovation Laboratory Construction completed the public notice for the completion environmental protection acceptance. The project is located in the Dongqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone, Ningde, Fujian, with an actual construction investment of 80 million yuan. This acceptance was a phased acceptance, further strengthening the hardware support for sodium-ion battery R&D.

Fujian Guangmin Copper Industry Co., Ltd.'s annual 35,000-ton cold-rolled high-precision copper strip project is striving for a strong start in the first quarter with solid efforts. The Fujian Guangmin Copper Cold-Rolled High-Precision Copper Strip Project is a key cooperation project between Guangdong and Longyan, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan.The project is being constructed in two phases: the first phase includes the construction of an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of high-performance purple copper and brass high-precision strips and ancillary facilities, while the second phase involves the construction of an annual production capacity of 15,000 tons of high-copper alloy high-precision strips and related facilities.
