Building a Green Bridge Between China and Africa | Zambian Energy Expert Dr. CHIKWANDA JOHNSTONE Visits Jintonghua Electric Group for Exchange

Recently, Zambian energy expert Dr. CHIKWANDA JOHNSTONE visited Jintonghua Electric Group for a several-day technical inspection and exchange event. The visit focused on power equipment manufacturing, photovoltaic energy storage technology R&D, and new energy project applications. Ms. Zhang Xiaohua, Chairman of the Group, accompanied by the core technical team, engaged in in-depth discussions on international new energy trends and related topics.

1. In-depth Inspection of Production Base – Praising Independent R&D Achievements

Dr. CHIKWANDA toured Jintonghua Electric Group’s modern power equipment production lines and photovoltaic energy storage product manufacturing base, gaining insight into the R&D and manufacturing processes of core equipment and recognizing the group’s refined management and quality standards. He then visited the R&D center, where he learned in detail about the company’s innovative layout in the photovoltaic energy storage sector, focusing on the group’s self-developed portable photovoltaic folding kit, intelligent mobile energy storage power supply, and other product series. He highly praised these products for addressing Africa’s energy supply pain points with their portability and high efficiency, commending the group’s R&D strength and market insight.

2. Visiting Benchmark Projects – Witnessing Technology Application Outcomes

To assess the effectiveness of technology implementation, Dr. CHIKWANDA visited several benchmark projects supported by Jintonghua Electric. He affirmed the stable supporting role of the customized power solution for the million-ton ethylene project, appreciated the green model of the Huaxi Bio rooftop photovoltaic project (self-generation for self-use, surplus power fed to the grid), recognized the three-dimensional utilization value of the fishery-solar complementary photovoltaic project (power generation above, aquaculture below), and praised the technological breakthrough of the heavy-duty truck battery swap station project in alleviating range anxiety for new energy logistics.

3. Deepening Technical Discussions – Reaching Cooperation Consensus

After the inspections, the two sides held a technical exchange symposium. The group’s technical director introduced core advantages in photovoltaic energy storage R&D, equipment manufacturing, and project solutions. Dr. CHIKWANDA shared Zambia’s energy diversification strategy, pointing out the local demand for advanced technology and equipment to support clean energy development. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on technology adaptation, energy solutions for remote areas, and other issues, reaching a consensus. Dr. CHIKWANDA expressed his expectation to deepen cooperation with the group, introducing high-quality technology and products to help upgrade Zambia’s energy sector.

This visit has built a bridge for China-Africa energy cooperation, highlighting Jintonghua Electric Group’s technical strength and international influence. In the future, Jintonghua Electric Group will continue to deepen its presence in the clean energy field, drive international cooperation through technological innovation, and contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to the global energy transition.
