On February 26, against the backdrop of China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” final push and “15th Five-Year Plan” blueprint, GCL Group held its 2025 New Year Financial-Enterprise Appreciation & Exchange Meeting in Suzhou, Jiangsu, under the theme “Green Finance Together, Writing a New Chapter”. The event gathered representatives from major state-owned, joint-stock, city commercial banks, as well as non-bank financial institutions including leasing, securities, and supply chain finance.

Leadership & Vision

  • Low-carbon breakthroughs in polysilicon with world-record carbon footprints

  • Perovskite solar technology hitting a commercialization inflection point

  • PHY-method cathode materials reshaping lithium battery frontiers

• In 2024, global module shipments reached top eight, with sustained profitability rare in the industry.

• Energy projects like Taicang port gas-to-power integration and Jiande pumped-storage hydropower enhance resilience and value.

Zhu stressed that GCL’s overseas expansion leverages global energy demand, LNG terminals, and strategic gas resources through models like “gas-power integration” and “gas-trade station integration”, creating second-curve growth and contributing to sustainable global energy.
