The 500 kV collection substation for Mingyang’s Baotou Weijun 1.5 GW standalone energy-storage plant has completed testing and been connected to the grid. The project, China’s highest-voltage and largest single-unit 500 kV storage collection station and a national benchmark, fills a high-voltage storage grid gap in western Inner Mongolia and advances Baotou’s source–grid–load–storage integration, supporting regional energy-structure optimization, new power-system construction and low-carbon deve

Yushu Technology co‑founder Chen Li said at the Yabuli forum that the smart-robotics industry could see three market-moving breakthroughs in the next 2–5 years: a unified end-to-end robot large model; continued declines in hardware costs plus longer lifespans and scaled manufacturing; and the build-out of low-cost, large-scale compute infrastructure. He defined an embodied-intelligence 'ChatGPT moment' as robots that, in about 80% of unfamiliar scenes, can complete roughly 80% of tasks from voice or text commands. Chen forecasted that by 2030 embodied-intelligence robots will trigger a consumer wave and materially raise productivity and labor skill levels.
