[Industrial Advantages] The nonferrous metals industry is the largest pillar industry of Jiangxi Province. The energy consumption dual controls, dual carbon policies, and the new connotations of high-quality development have put forward new requirements for strengthening and expanding the nonferrous metals industry. Promoting the further healthy, rapid, and orderly development of the nonferrous metals industry and enhancing its core competitiveness is an inevitable requirement for transforming from a province rich in nonferrous metal resources to a province with a strong nonferrous metals industry, and is also an important lever for Jiangxi to achieve carbon peaking by 2030. Leveraging Jiangxi Province's abundant nonferrous mineral resources, Jiangxi's nonferrous metals industry has developed rapidly, with continuously expanding scale and improving standards. It has become Jiangxi's largest pillar industry and is currently a key "trillion-yuan-level" industry being cultivated in Jiangxi. It is the undisputed "ballast stone" of Jiangxi's manufacturing sector. Jiangxi has become an important nonferrous metal ore mining and production site in China. Jiangxi Province enjoys superior metallogenic geological conditions and abundant mineral resources, making it one of China's important bases for nonferrous metals, rare metals, rare earth, and uranium minerals, with a relatively high degree of mineral resource complementarity. Jiangxi's seven major categories of minerals — copper, tungsten, rare earth, uranium, tantalum-niobium, gold, and silver — are known as the "Seven Golden Flowers." According to Jiangxi Province's "2+6+N" Action Plan for High-Quality Leapfrog Industrial Development, the province's nonferrous metals industry plans to achieve a trillion-yuan level in main business revenue. To promote the healthy development of Jiangxi Province's nonferrous metals industry, facilitate foreign economic and trade cooperation, and guide Jiangxi's nonferrous metals industry to align with international standards, the Organizing Committee, after conducting multiple in-depth grassroots surveys and project analyses with government authorities and industry associations, has decided to hold the "4th China (Jiangxi) International Nonferrous Metals and Metallurgical Industry Exhibition, 2027" at the Nanchang Greenland International Expo Center on March 28-30, 2027. We look forward to seeing you there.

Recently, the Shanghai Municipal National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a notice on the *Key Work Arrangements for Carbon Peaking, Carbon Neutrality, Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in Shanghai for 2026*. The document stated that Shanghai would promote the diversified development of local renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, with the city adding 600,000 kW of new PV installations. Two batches of standalone ESS power station projects would be advanced. The results of competitive bidding on mechanism-based electricity prices for new energy incremental projects would be publicly announced. Huangpu District would be organized to carry out the national carbon peaking pilot program. Chongming District would be supported in steadily advancing the national pilot program for ecological product value realization mechanisms. The *Shanghai Action Plan for Accelerating Green and Low-Carbon Transformation (2024–2027)* would be implemented, promoting the deployment of 15 key application scenarios for green and low-carbon transformation. The construction of national-level zero-carbon industrial parks would be supported, and a number of municipal-level zero-carbon industrial parks would be developed.

According to Polaris Power Network, this year’s government work report not only included “implementing a dual control system for total carbon emissions and carbon intensity, and improving the carbon emissions statistical accounting and carbon footprint management systems” in the task list, but also, through a series of arrangements around green electricity application, new-type power systems, and digital infrastructure construction, provided a clear top-level policy direction for the model of green electricity direct connection serving industry.

◼ At the beginning of 2026, Musk’s SpaceX plan for 100 GW of annual space PV capacity ignited the A-share market, with multiple concept stocks rising by more than 30 in a single month. At the same time, however, earnings previews from leading PV companies generally showed losses for 2025, and industry fundamentals remained in a deep winter. Behind the stark divergence between the speculative frenzy around the Musk-SpaceX concept and the earnings trough, is the market overly expecting a “second growth curve,” or is this a genuine signal of industrial transformation? ◼ As the global PV industry moves from rapid expansion into a new stage of rational development, its value has gone beyond that of clean energy alone: Against the backdrop of explosive growth in AI computing power driving massive electricity demand, compounded by energy security anxiety triggered by geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, developing PV may become a core strategic choice for countries to achieve their “dual-carbon” goals, build autonomous and controllable energy systems, and reduce electricity costs for end-users. ◼ Since the escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict at the end of February, the world’s four major benchmark crude oil prices have entered a rapid upward trajectory. Before the outbreak of the conflict, oil prices had remained broadly stable; however, starting on March 2, as the fighting expanded and spread to the Persian Gulf, oil prices immediately entered a sharp uptrend. Note: Shanghai crude oil prices are converted based on the settlement-date exchange rate of 1:0.15. Source: Public information, SMM. ◼ Although the impact borne by different regions varies due to differences in energy mix, geopolitical location, and policy response, the surge in imported crude oil costs driving a broad rise in energy prices has become a common challenge facing all countries. Europe is a case in point. Although Europe’s direct dependence on Middle Eastern crude oil was not high, at only about 5 according to data from energy market intelligence firm Kpler, it remained highly dependent on the region for refined products such as diesel and aviation kerosene, as well as liquefied natural gas. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz caused by the conflict directly pushed up Europe’s terminal energy prices—fuel prices at gas stations across the region surged, and natural gas prices broke above EUR 60 per megawatt hour on the 9th, reaching a new high since 2022. The continued rise in energy prices is bound to transmit into broader areas of the economy, increasing overall inflationary pressure and once again underscoring the importance of building secure and controllable energy systems. Accelerating the Clean Transition of the Global Energy Mix, the PV Industry Advances Toward High-Quality Development ◼ The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that, despite economic pressure, global electricity demand momentum remains strong in 2025, with growth rates in 2025 and 2026 expected to be 3.3% and 3.7%, respectively. Data from 2020 to 2025 showed that the global power market followed a trajectory of continued overall growth alongside structural transition toward cleaner energy , with the share of renewable energy sources such as solar rising significantly, although fossil fuels still accounted for the dominant share. ◼ According to the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions Scenario, solar power’s share in the energy mix is expected to rise from less than 2% at present to 12% in 2035 and 28% in 2050. This means PV installations are still far from reaching their ceiling, with substantial room for future growth. ◼ The past five years marked a critical period in which the global PV market shifted from rapid expansion toward rational development. The IEA forecasts that total global new PV installations over the next five years will reach about 3.68 TW, accounting for nearly 80% of new renewable energy additions over the same period, and are expected to become the world’s largest renewable energy source by the end of 2030. This is mainly due to its widening economic advantages—by 2024, the cost of solar PV power generation had already fallen 41% below the cheapest fossil fuel alternative, and these cost advantages are driving rapid growth in both PV installations and power generation share. Source: IEA, public information, SMM. ◼ As a key carrier of PV installations, especially the backbone of utility-scale power plants, solar panel mounting bracket installations are expected to maintain annual average growth of 5%-6% alongside installation growth. Specifically, to achieve annual average new PV installations of 500-600 GW, corresponding module demand is estimated at about 550-700 GW based on the capacity ratio. Assuming a conventional 1:1 module-to-bracket configuration, the annual average installation scale of brackets required for utility-scale PV plants alone would reach at least 250-300 GW. Source: public information, SMM. Escalating Challenges Reshape the Development Logic of the Global PV Market ◼ The PV industry is undergoing resonating internal and external pressures. Internally, the global economic slowdown has become intertwined with social issues, while the industry itself has entered a rational development stage after rapid expansion, making slower installation growth a certain trend. Externally, global trade frictions continue to intensify, with the US, Europe, and other regions erecting nearly insurmountable cost gaps through barriers such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties as well as local content requirements. Challenge 1: Global Trade Frictions and Escalating Trade Barriers ◼ In recent years, countries have introduced a series of policies to build PV trade barriers and reshape the global competitive landscape of the industry. The US imposed “double anti-” duties of as much as 3,403.96% on PV products from four Southeast Asian countries, South Africa raised module tariffs to 10%, and Brazil increased out-of-quota tariffs sharply from 9.6% to 25% through a quota system. Market access requirements for PV in India and Türkiye have also become increasingly stringent. Meanwhile, new supply chain control rules represented by the EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) have extended trade barriers deeper into the industry chain. By setting red lines on “third-country dependence,” they have established quantitative standards for supply chain restructuring. This series of changes has reshaped the competitive dimensions of the international PV industry and significantly raised the threshold for PV product imports and exports.

Outside China Enterprises Pursue Multi-Dimensional Breakthroughs Through Internal and External Efforts ◼ The practices of solar panel mounting bracket enterprises in the US, India, and other countries show that the key to coping with policy shifts overseas lies in combining “service-oriented” and “high-value” strategies. First, vertically extending from single-equipment sales to a service ecosystem covering the entire life cycle. Second, deepening horizontally by continuously optimizing business structure and extracting value from higher value-added segments. Solution 1: Launch Dedicated Plans Closely Aligned with Government Policies and Local Demand ◼ The global PV industry has now entered a new stage deeply reshaped by both market forces and policy. The growth logic of enterprises is shifting from the past single dimension of relying on technology iteration and cost declines to multi-dimensional competition closely integrating complex policy environments with localized demand. Against this backdrop, the key to corporate success lies in accurately interpreting policy intentions and launching development plans aligned with both market and policy. Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) precisely aligned with India’s “PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana” and launched the dedicated “solar for every home” plan while continuing to provide customized PV solutions. In Q1 FY2026, it added 220 MW of new rooftop PV installations, surging 416% YoY. TPREL also actively responded to local manufacturing policies by establishing 4.3 GW of solar cell and module capacity, ensuring supply while avoiding import tariffs. Through the synergy of “policy response + local capacity + customized services,” TPREL has effectively translated policy dividends into market competitiveness and steadily consolidated its leading position in India’s PV market. Solution 2: Use Acquisitions as a Link to Integrate Resources and Extend from Single Products to the Entire Industry Chain ◼ Competition in the global PV industry has fully escalated into a contest of entire industry chain system integration capabilities, and enterprises’ growth engines are shifting from past reliance on advantages in a single segment to a new model of providing integrated solutions through resource integration. In 2025, Nextracker used acquisitions as the core to integrate resources across the full chain, successively acquiring foundation engineering firms such as Solar Pile International and Ojjo, module supporting firms such as Origami Solar, and electrical system firms such as Bentek, thereby building a full-chain product matrix spanning structural, electrical, and digital solutions. Its performance continued to surge, with revenue rising from $1.9 billion in FY2023 to $3.4 billion in the trailing twelve months ended September 2025. It ultimately announced its transformation into a comprehensive energy solutions provider by renaming itself Nextpower, targeting revenue of more than $5.6 billion in FY2030. This strategy enabled its successful transformation from a single-product supplier into an entire industry chain service provider, solidifying its leading position in the global market. Solution 3: Optimize Business Structure ◼ Trade protectionism in the current PV market continues to intensify, with various trade barriers being layered on one after another. In response to this challenge, PV enterprises can achieve the dual objectives of “compliant operations” and “market retention” through business structure optimization. To avoid the equity constraints on FEOC under the US OBBB Act, Canadian Solar Inc. initiated a US business restructuring with its controlling shareholder CSIQ: it established two new joint ventures to separately manage PV and energy storage businesses, with its own stake set at 24.9% to precisely meet compliance requirements. At the same time, it transferred out 75.1% equity in three overseas plants supplying the US market, receiving a one-off consideration of 352 million yuan. This move enabled Canadian Solar Inc. to retain earnings from the US market through dividends and rental income. In the first three quarters of 2025, it achieved net profit of 990 million yuan, while large-scale energy storage shipments rose 32% YoY. After the adjustment, it focused on strengthening its advantages in non-US markets and successfully stabilized its global business layout with a compliant structure, providing a typical model for the industry in addressing trade barriers. ◼ For Chinese enterprises, in the face of trade frictions and overseas capacity gaps, they need to break through via three paths—“building plants near core markets, reducing costs and improving efficiency through technological innovation, and coordinating both within and outside the industry chain”— by pursuing localized deployment in Southeast Asia, Mexico, and other regions to avoid frequent trade frictions; promoting standardized production and high-end product R&D to enhance competitiveness; and building a “China + overseas” dual-circulation supply chain to stabilize costs. However, overseas expansion still faces challenges such as land and environmental protection costs, talent shortages, and supply chain fluctuations, requiring enterprises to conduct sound risk assessments, leverage policy support, and improve overseas investment service systems. Only by deeply integrating scientific capacity deployment, technological innovation, and industry chain coordination can the mounting bracket industry upgrade from “Made in China” to “Globally Intelligent Manufacturing” and achieve long-term development under the “dual carbon” goals. New Requirements Under the 15th Five-Year Plan, New Topics for PV Enterprises ◼ In a global market full of uncertainties, the consistency and strength of domestic policy have provided fertile ground for the growth of China’s solar panel mounting bracket enterprises. The newly released 15th Five-Year Plan further clarified China’s path for energy and industrial development. On the one hand, the construction of a new-type power system centered on consumption capacity has been listed as a priority task, and green manufacturing and full life cycle management have been formally incorporated into the assessment system. On the other hand, technological self-reliance and self-strengthening together with new quality productive forces have replaced scale competition as the main line of the new development stage. This series of changes signals that the country is driving a profound shift from “competing on capacity” to “competing on system value,” with the core goal of achieving autonomous and controllable energy structure. It is estimated that after the Two Sessions, various departments will successively roll out detailed plans to promote the full implementation of the blueprint. ◼ Key implementation measures include: 1) establishing a “dual controls” system for total carbon emissions and carbon intensity, while improving incentive and restraint mechanisms; 2) vigorously developing non-fossil energy and promoting the efficient use of fossil energy, while strengthening the construction of a new-type power system to ensure stable supply of green electricity; 3) applying both “addition and subtraction” by fostering green and low-carbon industries and promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industry; 4) in addition, accelerating the green transformation of production and lifestyles to consolidate the foundation for green development. ◼ From the perspective of regional development layout, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China’s PV industry will show characteristics of regional coordination: north-west China will become the strategic focus by virtue of its natural endowments, exporting electricity through cross-provincial green electricity trading and other means to achieve two-way matching between energy resources and power load; eastern regions, by contrast, will focus on local consumption by high-energy-consuming industries and zero-carbon industrial parks. Source: public information, SMM. ◼ SMM forecasts that China’s new PV installations are expected to reach 208 GW in 2025 and continue growing at an annual average rate of 9% over the next five years, exceeding 292 GW by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Utility-scale PV will remain dominant, with its installation share staying above 50%. Based on the same logic, we estimate that China’s PV installation market will maintain annual incremental growth of at least 100-120 GW. Source: public information, SMM. ◼ Focusing on China’s steel consumption market for solar panel mounting brackets, SMM estimates that annual steel consumption in China’s PV mounting bracket sector will average about 4-4.5 million mt from 2026 to 2030, accounting for about 30% of total steel consumption in the PV industry over the same period (based on 2026 data). Note: only installation demand for utility-scale PV mounting brackets is included, excluding distributed steel structures, replacement from existing asset depreciation, and exports.

On December 16, the Ulanqab Municipal People's Government officially released the "Proposal of the Ulanqab Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning Proposal"). The document clearly identifies the hydrogen industry, new materials, and future industries as core development directions. It proposes advancing a full-chain layout for green hydrogen production, storage, transmission, and utilization, fully constructing the hydrogen transmission pipeline from Ulanqab to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and creating an autonomous region-level innovation demonstration base for the hydrogen industry. A series of key tasks are outlined to draw a clear blueprint for regional energy transformation and high-quality development. The Planning Proposal states that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Ulanqab will focus on developing new forms of the energy industry, addressing the pain points in electricity consumption, and promoting the implementation of load-side dominated direct green power connection projects. It also explores innovative models such as virtual power plants and smart microgrids. In the ESS sector, it will implement pumped storage projects and promote the cluster development of new-type energy storage, providing solid support for new energy consumption. As a core highlight, the plan clearly aims to advance the entire industry chain development of green hydrogen production, storage, transmission, and utilization, accelerating the cultivation of supporting industries such as hydrogen equipment manufacturing and storage and transportation. Leveraging the local abundant wind and solar power resources, it plans to create an autonomous region-level innovation demonstration base for the hydrogen industry. Currently, Ulanqab has launched the Three Gorges Group's first integrated demonstration project for green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and refueling, establishing a full-process closed loop of "green electricity for hydrogen production - diversified storage and transportation - multi-scenario applications." Its PEM water electrolysis equipment has second-level response capability, adaptable to the volatility of wind and solar energy, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale development of the hydrogen industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. In terms of fostering emerging and future industries, the Planning Proposal clearly aims to strengthen the pillar industries of wind, solar, hydrogen, and ESS, promoting the coordinated development of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green alcohol industries, and accelerating the promotion and application of new energy heavy trucks. In the material industry, it will extend six new material industry chains including carbon-based, molybdenum-based, and aluminum-based, focusing on the development of special alloys, lithium batteries, and graphene and other carbon-based functional materials, building a nationally important new material industry base. At the same time, it will proactively lay out future industries such as hydrogen, low-altitude economy, and biomanufacturing, improving the industrial ecosystem through demonstrations of new technologies, products, and scenarios. Notably, Ulanqab has already established a solid foundation for the new energy industry, with key projects such as the 6 million kW Phase I wind power base and the 1.5 million kW "wind-solar-thermal-ESS-hydrogen integration" base successively put into operation. In 2024, the monthly power generation of related projects reached a historical high, providing ample green electricity for the development of emerging industries. In terms of infrastructure and technological support, the Planning Proposal proposes to significantly enhance the power transmission and distribution capacity, with a focus on advancing the construction of the hydrogen transmission pipeline from Ulanqab to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. It is reported that as China's first cross-provincial, large-scale, long-distance pure hydrogen transmission pipeline, the project spans approximately 1,132 kilometers in total length, with a design pressure of 6.3 megapascals. In its first phase, the hydrogen transmission capacity will reach 100kt per year, with plans to increase this to 500kt per year in the long term. Upon completion, it will steadily supply green hydrogen to key regions and enterprises such as the Xiong'an New Area and Tianjin Petrochemical, addressing the challenge of supply-demand mismatch in the hydrogen energy sector. Meanwhile, the plan clearly states that it will focus on characteristic and advantageous industries such as new energy, green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, implementing a series of major scientific and technological tasks to promote R&D and the commercialization of research findings, thereby strengthening the technological support for industrial development.​ Additionally, the "Plan Proposals" emphasize the establishment of a mechanism to support the cultivation of new business models, encouraging cross-sector integration between energy enterprises and big data and cloud computing companies, and fostering a mechanism for coordinated development between computing and electricity. Through resource integration and leveraging complementary strengths, this approach aims to stimulate industrial innovation vitality. Leveraging its abundant wind and solar power resources, a solid industrial foundation, and clear policy guidance, Ulanqab City is accelerating its transition from a major new energy resource hub to a strong industrial city. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, it will adopt multiple measures, including the layout of the entire hydrogen industry chain, cross-regional energy collaboration, and the cultivation of emerging industries, to establish itself as a demonstration hub for energy transformation radiating across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, injecting strong impetus into the realization of the "dual carbon" goals for the autonomous region and the entire country. Plan Proposals in full are as follows: Proposals of the CPC Ulanqab Municipal Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (Adopted at the Tenth Plenary Session of the Fifth CPC Ulanqab Municipal Committee on November 29, 2025) To thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the important speeches and instructions made by General Secretary Xi Jinping regarding Inner Mongolia, fully implement the deployment requirements of the Tenth Plenary Session of the 11th Autonomous Region Party Committee, and considering the actual development situation of Ulanqab City, the following proposals are put forward for formulating the city's 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development. I. Forging Ahead Bravely Along the Direction Pointed Out by General Secretary Xi Jinping and Striving to Write a New Chapter of Chinese Modernization in Ulanqab (1) Ulanqab has achieved significant accomplishments during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, facing arduous and complex tasks of reform, development, and stability, the municipal party committee united and led party organizations at all levels throughout the city, as well as the vast number of party members, cadres, and the masses. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, they thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches and instructions regarding Inner Mongolia, fully carried out the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the work requirements of the Autonomous Region Party Committee. Taking the strengthening of the sense of the Chinese nation community as the main line, they focused on the two major tasks of "completing the five major tasks entrusted by General Secretary Xi Jinping and building a model autonomous region in all respects," implemented the "six projects," carried out the "six actions," and coordinated efforts to advance all aspects of economic and social development, thereby taking solid steps toward the modernization of Ulanqab. The comprehensive ecological management of the Daihai Lake water ecosystem, the ecological protection and restoration of the Chahannaoer, and key national ecological projects such as the "Three-North" Shelterbelt Program have advanced in depth, leading to continuous improvement in the quality of the ecological environment. The new energy industry has risen rapidly, with the first domestic "generation-grid-load-storage" demonstration project and the first "green power supply for industrial parks" demonstration project in western Inner Mongolia completed and put into operation, marking breakthroughs in industries such as green hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohol. The "Green Computing Power to Beijing" initiative has advanced strongly, earning honors such as the "Benchmark for the 'East Data West Computing' Project," the "Pioneer for High-Quality Development of Computing Power," and the "Pioneer for Collaborative Development of Computing Power and Electricity." Traditional industries such as ferroalloy, graphite carbon, chlor-alkali chemical engineering, and fluorine chemical engineering have undergone iterative upgrades, while characteristic industries such as "wheat, vegetables, potatoes, cattle, sheep, and dairy" have continued to grow stronger. The regional public brand "Authentic Ulanqab" has gained nationwide recognition. The collaboration between Beijing and Ulanqab has yielded fruitful results, with the city brand "Just one step west of Beijing lies Ulanqab, an ideal destination for investment and year-round tourism" being fully polished and widely recognized. Coordination in urban-rural development has strengthened, with the central city's capacity enhanced, county-level carrying capacity increased, achievements in poverty alleviation consolidated and expanded, and rural revitalization comprehensively advanced. Significant progress has been made in border stabilization and consolidation, social governance, disaster prevention and emergency rescue, contributing to a harmonious and stable social environment. Reform and opening up have advanced in depth, with reforms in key areas continuously deepened, government service efficiency significantly improved, the business environment continuously optimized, regional cooperation yielding noticeable results, and opening up to the outside world making solid progress. The "six facts and principles" have been widely recognized, the sense of community among the Chinese nation has taken deep root, the cause of ethnic unity and progress has continued to improve, cultural undertakings and industries have flourished, the building of democracy and the rule of law has been continuously strengthened, and people's well-being has significantly improved. Ulanqab has successfully been awarded the title of "National Civilized City" and approved as a "National Model City for Food Safety," achieving a fifth consecutive term as a National Model City for Supporting the Military and Giving Preferential Treatment to Families of Servicemen and Martyrs. Comprehensive and strict governance of the Party has been consistently implemented, with in-depth advances in work style construction and the fight against corruption. The attainment of these significant achievements fundamentally stems from the leadership and steering of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, as well as the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. (2) During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the development environment in Ulanqab will face new opportunities and challenges. The "15th Five-Year Plan" period represents a critical phase for China to lay a solid foundation and make comprehensive efforts towards basically achieving socialist modernization, a key period for Inner Mongolia to pursue high-quality development and accelerate its path to innovation, and also a window and crucial period for Ulanqab to leverage its advantages, optimize its industrial structure, address shortcomings, and strengthen its overall economic strength. From the perspective of the overall development landscape, China's economic foundation remains stable, with numerous advantages, strong resilience, and vast potential. The supporting conditions and fundamental trends for long-term positive growth remain unchanged, with the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the super-large-scale market, a complete industrial system, and abundant human resources becoming even more prominent, providing solid support for high-quality local development. From the perspective of development opportunities, multiple favorable factors are accelerating their aggregation and releasing effectiveness. The new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating with multiple breakthroughs. China is speeding up the construction of a new development pattern, and the "dual carbon" strategy is advancing in depth, creating broad space for Ulanqab to undertake the transfer of green and low-carbon industries, cultivate new quality productive forces, and expand internal and external linkage opening-up. As the superimposed effects of major national strategies such as the Western Development, Ecological Conservation and High-Quality Development in the Yellow River Basin, and the "East Data, West Computing" project continue to emerge, and policy dividends like the "State Council's Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development in Inner Mongolia and Striving to Write a New Chapter in Chinese Modernization" are gradually implemented and take effect, various resource elements are accelerating their convergence toward our city, and the momentum for development will become increasingly robust. The unique geographical, energy, and ecological advantages of our city provide a solid foundation for transforming policy opportunities into tangible development outcomes. From the perspective of challenges, the prominent issues of unbalanced and insufficient development in our city still need to be vigorously addressed. The industrial structure is not optimal, scientific and technological innovation capabilities are inadequate, and the scale of emerging industries is relatively small. The modernization of agriculture, animal husbandry, and rural pastoral areas faces arduous tasks. Channels for increasing urban and rural residents' income are narrow, and the level of equalization of basic public services is not high. Changes in the population structure pose new challenges to economic development and social governance. Risks and hidden dangers in key areas cannot be overlooked. The entire city must maintain strategic resolve, strengthen confidence in victory, actively recognize, adapt to, and seek changes, leverage strengths, address weaknesses, and strengthen areas of deficiency with a reform and innovation mindset, overcome difficulties, combat risks, and meet challenges with a proactive historical spirit, make unremitting efforts, continue to strive, and vigorously write a new chapter of Chinese modernization in Ulanqab.

The conference, themed "Implementing the Spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and Making a Good Start for High-Quality Development in the 15th Five-Year Plan Period," brought together leaders from the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and industry experts. When interpreting the economic work arrangements, they clearly identified the new energy industry as the core driver for green transformation, with hydrogen energy listed as a key new economic growth point to be cultivated, injecting a strong policy boost for high-quality industrial development. Participants emphasized that next year's economic work will adhere to dual carbon goals-led promotion of comprehensive green transformation, a direction highly aligned with the requirement of "persisting in innovation-driven development and accelerating the cultivation and strengthening of new momentum" put forward by the Central Economic Work Conference. Han Wenxiu, Executive Vice Minister of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission and Director of the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group, pointed out that 2026 is the first year of the comprehensive transition from dual controls on energy consumption and energy intensity to dual controls on carbon emissions . He stressed the need to accelerate the construction of a new-type energy system , expand the application of green electricity , further promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformations in key industries, while cultivating new growth points such as hydrogen energy and green fuels , and building a number of zero-carbon parks and zero-carbon factories . These arrangements clarify the strategic position of hydrogen energy in the energy transition and provide policy guidance for the industry's scaled development. Xiao Weiming, Deputy Secretary General of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), added that comprehensive green transformation requires strengthening the innovative application of green and low-carbon technology and equipment , effectively managing high-energy-consumption and high-emission projects, accelerating the phase-out of outdated capacity, improving the total resource management and comprehensive conservation system, and promoting the clean and efficient use of fossil energy to create space for the development of the new energy industry. Industry experts stated that, driven by both the dual carbon goals and policy dividends , hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient secondary energy source, is transitioning from pilot exploration to a new stage of orderly breakthrough, and its application potential in fields such as industry, transportation, and ESS will continue to be unleashed. Notably, China's hydrogen energy industry already possesses a solid development foundation.
