Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the organization of the sixth batch of applications for major technical equipment in the energy sector, emphasizing the importance of technological breakthroughs and the support for energy security and carbon neutrality goals [1][2]. Group 1: Application Conditions - The projects must represent significant technological breakthroughs in the energy sector, possess independent intellectual property rights, and not have achieved mass market performance [3]. - Focus areas include advanced renewable energy, new power systems, safe and efficient nuclear energy, green and efficient fossil energy development, new energy storage, pumped storage, hydrogen energy, energy system digitalization, and energy efficiency improvement [3]. - The technical equipment must be ready for engineering application, with conditions for signing contracts within one year and starting construction within two years [3]. Group 2: Application Procedures - Provincial energy authorities and central enterprises are responsible for organizing applications, with a maximum of eight projects recommended per provincial authority and three per centrally planned municipality [4][5]. - Additional recommendations may be granted based on previous evaluation results and the implementation of supportive policies for major technical equipment [5][6]. - Applications must be submitted individually for each technical equipment, with restrictions on the number of user and research units involved [7]. Group 3: Requirements and Deadlines - Applications for increasing recommendation quotas must be submitted by March 6, 2026, with confirmation feedback by March 20, 2026 [10]. - Required materials include a recommendation letter and application documents, which must be submitted by April 24, 2026 [12][14]. - Incomplete or late submissions will not be accepted [15].

Core Viewpoint - The article outlines the organization of the sixth batch of applications for major technological equipment in the energy sector, emphasizing the importance of innovation and self-reliance in achieving national energy security and carbon neutrality goals [2]. Group 1: Application Conditions - The projects must represent significant technological breakthroughs with independent intellectual property rights and should not have achieved mass market performance yet, focusing on key energy technologies [3]. - The projects should align with national energy security, carbon peak and neutrality goals, and the construction of a new energy system, concentrating on areas such as renewable energy, new power systems, and energy system digitalization [3]. - The technological equipment must be developed and ready for engineering application, with conditions for signing contracts and starting construction within specified timeframes [3]. Group 2: Application Procedures - Provincial energy authorities and central enterprises are responsible for organizing applications, with a limit on the number of recommended projects based on previous evaluations [4]. - Additional recommendations may be granted based on the number of projects previously selected and the existence of supportive policies for the equipment [4][5]. - Applications must be submitted individually for each piece of equipment, with restrictions on the number of user and development units involved [6]. Group 3: Requirements and Deadlines - Applications for increasing recommended quotas must be submitted by March 6, 2026, with supporting materials for verification [9]. - Submission of formal recommendation letters and application materials is required by April 24, 2026, with specific formats and conditions outlined [11][13]. - Late or non-compliant submissions will not be accepted [14].
