Henan Entrepreneurs｜Xia Xinde: Henan is a Vibrant and Fertile Investment Land Brimming with Limitless Business Opportunities

"I am from Zheng Yang, Zhumadian City. After graduating from college, I went to work in Guangzhou. In recent years, I returned to my hometown in Henan and have deeply felt the tremendous changes that have taken place there. What impressed me most is that now an increasing number of residents in my hometown have solar photovoltaic panels installed on their roof tops." On April 8th, Xia Xinde, Chairman of Guangzhou Great Power Energy & Technology Co., Ltd, who was invited to attend the Global Henan Entrepreneurs Conference 2024, said so.

“我是驻马店正阳人，大学毕业之后到广州工作，近年来回到家乡河南，深刻感受到家乡变化巨大。尤为印象深刻的是，如今老家越来越多居民的屋顶都装上了太阳能光伏。”4月8日，受邀来参加2024全球豫商大会的鹏辉能源董事长夏信德说。

Guangzhou Great Power Energy & Technology Co.,Ltd was established in 2001 and went public in 2015. It is a publicly listed company with 23 years of lithium battery technology accumulation and one of the earliest enterprises in China to engage in the energy storage field. The company supplies products such as batteries, PACKs, RACKs, outdoor energy storage cabinets, and container energy storage to many globally recognized brands. Its products are used in various fields including large-scale energy storage, commercial and industrial energy storage, residential energy storage, portable energy storage, and communication base station energy storage. The company has been deeply involved in the energy storage industry for 13 years, with its energy storage battery shipments ranking in the global top for several consecutive years. Specifically, in 2022, the company's global energy storage battery shipments ranked in the top five, and in 2023, its shipments of energy storage systems for commercial and industrial use ranked in the top three in China.

据了解，鹏辉能源成立于2001年，2015年上市，是一家拥有23年锂电技术积累的上市公司，也是国内最早涉足储能领域的企业之一。公司为多家全球知名品牌提供电芯、PACK、RACK、户外储能柜、集装箱储能等产品，应用领域涵盖大型储能、工商业储能、户用储能、便携式储能、通讯基站储能等。公司深耕储能产业13年，储能电池出货量连续多年位居全球前列，其中2022年全球储能电池出货量前五，2023年中国工商业储能系统出货量前三。

With the original intention and mission to invest in and construct his hometown, Xia Xinde invested and established a factory in Zhumadian, and in 2012, he founded Henan Penghui Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Penghui Power). Today, Penghui Power has become the largest lithium battery manufacturer in terms of production capacity in Henan Province, and it has successively been awarded titles such as "Gazelle Enterprise" and "Heading Goose Enterprise" in Henan Province, as well as being recognized as a "Champion in a Single Field Enterprise".

怀着投资家乡、建设家乡的初心与使命，夏信德在驻马店投资建厂，并于2012年成立了河南省鹏辉电源有限公司（以下简称鹏辉电源）。如今，鹏辉电源已成为河南省单体产能最大的锂电企业，先后获得河南省“瞪羚企业”“头雁企业”“单项冠军”企业等称号。

In addition to noticing the tremendous changes in the environment of his hometown, Xia Xinde has also felt that the investment environment in Henan has been improving in recent years, with increasingly prominent advantages in attracting investment. "Henan has a unique strategic advantage in terms of location, with convenient transportation; at the same time, its large population base ensures a continuous supply of industrial workers and a vast consumer market. Moreover, Henan is also making strides in developing a comprehensive supply chain for the upstream and downstream industries in the field of new energy batteries. All these factors are important considerations for companies looking for partnerships and investment opportunities for development," said Xia Xinde.

除了感受到家乡环境的巨变，夏信德也感受到河南近年来投资环境越来越好，招商优势日益显著。“河南有独特的区位优势，交通便利；同时，河南人口基数大，使其具备源源不断的产业工人和广阔的消费市场；此外，河南在新能源电池领域上下游配套产业链也初具规模。这些都是企业寻求合作，投资发展的重要考量。” 夏信德说。

In terms of the business environment, Xia Xinde has also noticed that Henan is gradually increasing its support for enterprises in the scientific research field. "As a technology-based enterprise, we have felt in recent years the multifaceted support from our hometown for corporate research and development, including financial support and tax reductions."

在营商环境方面，夏信德还切实感受到，河南在科研领域对企业的扶持力度逐渐加大。“我们作为科技型企业，近几年感受家乡对企业科研的多方支持，包括资金支持、税收减免等。”

Xia Xinde pointed out: "Henan is a vibrant and investment-friendly land with limitless business opportunities, and the investment practices of Penghui Energy here have proven this."

“河南是一片充满活力、商机无限的投资热土，鹏辉能源在河南的投资实践也证明了这一点。”夏信德称。

Talking about the next steps in Henan's planning and development, Xia Xinde said, "On one hand, we are considering continuing to increase our investment in Zhumadian; on the other hand, we plan to establish a consumer battery industrial base. At the same time, we aim to bring in more upstream and downstream partners to develop together in Zhumadian and across the whole Henan province."

谈及下一步在河南的规划发展，夏信德表示：“一方面，我们考虑继续加大在驻马店的投资；另一方面，我们计划在驻马店建立消费类电池产业基地，同时把更多上下游合作伙伴引进过来，大家一起在驻马店发展，在河南发展。” （中文来源/河南日报 记者/王鑫 编译专家/温晓梅）
