  1. FinanceCheche Group's Home Energy Storage Push Takes Shape Through EnergyLIB in AustraliaHONG KONG, Sept 23, 2026 - Cheche Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CCG) is looking beyond its core mobility business as it explores residential energy storage under a broader “Green Mobility + Green Energy” strategy. The company recently announced a proposed strategic investment in Long Way Fortune, a residential solar-and-storage business operating in Australia and Singapore. EnergyLIB is the residential energy brand associated with the business, according to company materials. For EnergyLIB, the focus is on a part of the storage market where hardware is only one piece of the equation. Its model combines residential battery systems with local distribution, installation support and after-sales service, with energy-management services planned as an additional layer. The business is focused on the household market. Its product portfolio includes modular battery systems and hybrid inverters designed for both retrofits to existing rooftop solar systems and new solar-plus-storage installations, with capacity that can be expanded over time. The product lineup emphasizes modular construction, simpler installation, quieter operation and clear user interfaces. Safety functions include cell-level monitoring, pack-level fault isolation and system-level protection, although specifications vary by product, installation conditions and applicable testing. The more important part of EnergyLIB’s strategy may be what happens after the equipment is sold. The business plans to expand into five countries during 2027, supported by local warehousing, sales and after-sales operations, as well as partnerships with distributors, installers and retailers. That local infrastructure matters in residential storage because installers and homeowners depend on more than product availability. Installation support, access to replacement parts and ongoing servicing can shape both the customer experience and installer confidence. EnergyLIB is also working on standardized commissioning procedures and equipment service records, while using feedback from installation and service teams to inform product improvements. The next phase is aimed at energy management. EnergyLIB is developing functions that would combine household electricity consumption, solar generation, weather, tariff information and battery operating data. The aim is to manage trade-offs between electricity costs, backup requirements and battery usage according to household preferences. For Cheche, the proposed investment points to a possible expansion from mobility into a broader household-energy ecosystem spanning storage hardware, local service and energy management. For now, the strategic link is broader: residential storage sits alongside mobility within Cheche’s “Green Mobility + Green Energy” strategy, while any specific integration remains to be developed.

  5. FinanceVNET x CATL: Where Next-Generation AI-Native Compute Infrastructure Meets the Battery LeaderCompanies: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. LimitedHONG KONG, Sept 22, 2026 - China’s new energy and AI infrastructure sectors have recently reached a notable convergence. PJ Millennium I Limited and PJ Millennium II Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries of PJ Millennium Limited Partnership — whose general partner is Lochpine BG I GP Limited, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Lochpine Capital Limited, a non-controlled, non-consolidated affiliate of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (“CATL”, 300750.SZ / 03750.HK) — have completed a strategic investment in VNET Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET), one of China’s leading carrier- and cloud-neutral internet data center services providers. The transaction closed on September 21, 2026. Upon closing, the buyers have become VNET’s largest shareholder, holding an approximately 38.1% equity stake in the Company. The terms of the agreement include a two-year voting and consortium alignment between the companies, providing continuity in VNET’s governance and management while maintaining its strategic direction and operational momentum. The two companies have also entered into a strategic cooperation agreement, aimed at deeper collaboration across operations, technology and ecosystem development, as they jointly pursue the rapidly emerging compute-energy integration market. Mr. Josh Sheng Chen, Founder and Executive Chairperson of VNET, said: “We are pleased to welcome CATL as a new strategic investor and sincerely thank them for their strong support of VNET and our long-term vision. Looking ahead, we will work closely together to deepen collaboration across technology, infrastructure and supply chain capabilities, jointly drive foundational and full-chain innovation in the next-generation AIDC industry, advance innovation in integrated compute-energy systems, and contribute to the development of next-generation digital energy infrastructure for the intelligent era.” As VNET positions itself as an infrastructure provider for the AI inference era, its alignment with CATL at both ownership and business levels has attracted significant market attention. A key question has therefore emerged: why did CATL choose VNET as a major ecosystem partner in its push towards compute-energy integration' According to Frost & Sullivan, VNET’s carrier-neutral data center services revenue is growing faster than the broader China market. Its wholesale data center segment has demonstrated particularly strong year-on-year growth, ranking first among China’s scaled carrier-neutral data center service providers. By retail data center services revenue, VNET ranked No. 1 in 2025, with a 12.3% market share. This combination of growth and market share highlights the strength of VNET’s market position. The Company has also developed competitive advantages across resource reserves, project delivery, customer relationships and access to capital markets — capabilities that have helped lay the foundation for this strategic partnership. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Asian Leaders Forum, VNET’s senior management highlighted that the Company’s deep commitment to the Chinese market has enabled it to capture a significant share of incremental customer demand over the past two to three years, while maintaining industry-leading delivery capability. This capability will help support the Company’s international ambitions, given the overseas growth of Chinese enterprise customers. At the forum, management summarized VNET’s core competitive advantages across four strategic pillars: First, the Company has secured abundant power-backed resources in regions with relatively low electricity costs. Second, it has demonstrated strong project delivery capabilities, taking approximately 12 to 18 months from greenfield development to delivery. Third, it has established deep relationships with a global network of approximately 7,000 enterprise customers. Fourth, as a US-listed company, VNET benefits from diversified financing channels and solid credit ratings. The Three-Layer Power-Compute Architecture: A Comprehensive Strategic Blueprint Moving forward, the two companies are now focused on translating their comprehensive strategic partnership into an actionable industrial blueprint: a three-layer architecture comprising “Gigawatt-Scale Compute-Energy Facilities + Distributed Compute-Energy Networks + Tokenized Energy Attribute Certificates”. Using this blueprint, the companies will jointly develop a three-layer power-compute system designed to build a nationwide network with global reach, aiming to shape the digital energy infrastructure landscape in the AI era. 1. Gigawatt-Scale Compute-Energy Facilities: The Energy Backbone for Hyperscale AIDCs By combining CATL’s full-stack energy technologies and energy storage systems (ESS) with VNET’s proven AIDC execution capabilities, the partnership aims to develop next-generation hyperscale campuses designed around power-compute integration from the outset. Rather than building the data center first and adding power infrastructure later, the approach is to plan computing and energy capacity in parallel from the beginning. 2. Distributed Compute-Energy Networks: City-Level Edge Infrastructure The second layer focuses on city-level edge infrastructure, directly supporting the strategic deployment of China’s “Six National Compute Networks” and addressing growing demand from smart-city AI applications and localized inference. By extending beyond mega-scale campuses, the partnership aims to expand into city-level edge infrastructure while promoting standardized product design and greater commercial scalability. 3. Tokenized Energy Attribute Certificates: Commercial Model Innovation The third layer focuses on commercial model innovation. By leveraging digitized, auditable environmentalattribute certificates as a value-transfer mechanism, this framework enables traceable alignment between compliant computing assets, renewable electricity procurement and related energy attributes. In essence, the model aims to establish a more transparent and verifiable framework linking computing capacity with renewable power and related environmental attributes, supporting future settlement, reporting and optimization of integrated compute-energy operations. For VNET, the three-layer system represents more than a strategic framework — it provides an execution roadmap for its upgraded “dual-engine” strategy. Gigawatt-scale facilities anchor hyperscale campuses, distributed networks extend coverage to city-level computing, and digital energy-attribute management may, over time, support better traceability, optimization and utilization of green-energy resources. Together, these three layers support VNET’s transformation from a pure-play IDC operator towards an AI-native integrated compute-energy infrastructure platform. The Company believes that the entry of a major strategic industrial investor will materially influence institutional perceptions of its risk and growth potential, its financing capabilities, its operational stability and its medium- to long-term expansion pipeline. With CATL’s strategic backing and the rollout of VNET’s three-layer compute-energy architecture, investor focus is increasingly shifting from the Company’s traditional IDC identity toward its broader role in next-generation AI infrastructure. Still, market recognition is likely to depend not only on strategic narrative, but also on measurable operating delivery. That operating foundation is already beginning to show. In Q2 2026, VNET reported total net revenue of RMB2.78 billion, up 14.2% year-on-year, with the wholesale segment remaining the key growth driver as its revenue rose 29.3% to RMB1.10 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.4% year-on-year to RMB920 million, while adjusted cash gross profit rose 9.4% to RMB1.16 billion. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 3.0 percentage points year-on-year to 33.0%. Adjusted net income reached RMB7.38 million, representing a return to profitability compared with the same period last year. CATL provides more than capital. Its participation brings expertise and capabilities in energy technologies that are increasingly important to the next phase of AI data center development. As AI infrastructure evolves, competitive differentiation is moving beyond basic capacity toward integrated capabilities in power access, energy efficiency, cooling, and long-term operational reliability. In that context, the partnership may strengthen VNET’s ability to participate in the next wave of high-quality infrastructure demand. Notably, several major international investment banks — including Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Morgan Stanley — have recently taken a positive view of VNET. In its latest report dated 3 September, Goldman Sachs reiterated its Buy rating and set a US$14.00 price target. Morgan Stanley, holding an Overweight rating, also set a US$14.00 target price, while HSBC set its target at US$14.10. Goldman Sachs noted that VNET is expected to secure approximately 1.0–1.1GW of wholesale orders for the full year, while its 500MW overseas resource deployment continues to progress, supported by disciplined financing and potential additional synergies from CATL’s strategic investment. Goldman Sachs also expects VNET’s wholesale IDC business to deliver a 2025–2028 revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 37%–38%, highlighting the potential for continued growth driven by AI infrastructure demand and further reassessment of the Company’s valuation. Morgan Stanley maintains its Overweight rating on VNET, setting a US$14 price target, noting that VNET is poised for accelerating EBITDA growth starting from 3Q26, backed by its solid order backlog of 862MW and 3.6GW of available domestic resource capacity. The firm expects capacity deliveries to pick up meaningfully in 2H26, with disciplined overseas expansion plans to mitigate near-term capex risks. From industrial synergies to potential valuation re-rating, VNET’s positioning within the compute-energy integration landscape is attracting increasing attention from the investment community. On one side, CATL is expanding its role from a battery supplier towards becoming a broader infrastructure partner for the AI era. On the other, VNET is pursuing a strategic transformation from a third-party IDC operator towards an AI-native, next-generation digital energy infrastructure provider. The two companies’ strategic trajectories are therefore converging at a pivotal point in the development of AI infrastructure. For VNET, the partnership provides more than additional capital: it creates opportunities for deeper integration across green power, energy storage technologies and global energy networks, potentially strengthening its competitive position as the AI infrastructure market continues to evolve.
  6. FinanceCasa Minerals Commences Inaugural Diamond Drilling at the Arsenault Copper-Gold-Silver Project, British ColumbiaVancouver, BC, Sept 22, 2026 - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at its Arsenault copper-gold-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project (the "Property" or "Arsenault"), located in the Jennings River area of northern British Columbia, approximately 130 kilometres east-northeast of Atlin, BC, near the Yukon border. This is the first drilling ever carried out by Casa at Arsenault and one of the first modern drill tests of the Arsenault VMS system. First Hole of the Inaugural Program The first hole of the program is collared on IP survey Line 15E at UTM coordinates Easting 347,110 mE and Northing 6,632,206 mN (UTM Zone 9N). The hole is oriented at an azimuth of 045° (N45°E) with a dip of -85° - a near-vertical attitude selected to intersect, at relatively shallow depth, the sub-vertical chargeability and resistivity feature defined by the Company's 2025 ground induced polarization ("IP") survey. The collar is positioned directly over a first-priority IP anomaly characterized by strong chargeability and low-to-moderate resistivity, coincident with an interpreted fault/contact - the geophysical signature the Company considers most prospective for massive sulphide mineralization on the Property (Figure 1). Table 1: Table 1: Arsenault 2026 inaugural drill hole - collar location and orientation ItemInaugural hole - collar and orientation Survey lineLine 15E (200 m line spacing) Collar location (UTM Zone 9N)347,110 mE / 6,632,206 mN Azimuth045° (N45°E) Dip-85° Primary targetFirst-priority IP anomaly - strong chargeability, low-to-moderate resistivity, coincident interpreted fault/contact AccessHelicopter-supported, temporary camp Basis of Drill Targeting Drill targets for the inaugural program were generated by integrating property-scale geological mapping, surface rock and soil geochemical sampling, the Company's large database of historic exploration data, the 2017 airborne VTEM survey that originally outlined five VMS targets on the Property, and - most importantly - the three-dimensional inversion products of the 2025 ground IP survey. The Company's technical team ranked the resulting anomalies on the combined strength of chargeability, resistivity, structural setting and geological/geochemical support, and has scheduled the first holes of the program on the highest-ranked targets. The first-priority targets exhibit strong chargeability responses coincident with low resistivity, a combination characteristic of, though not diagnostic of, massive sulphide mineralization. 2025 Alpha IP Survey and Results The 2025 program, completed by Simcoe Geoscience Limited ("Simcoe") between September 1 and 24, 2025, employed the Alpha IP™ wireless time-domain distributed IP system using a dipole-pole-dipole array configuration with 100-metre station spacing and 200-metre line spacing. Fifteen (15) profiles were acquired for a total of 34.5 line-kilometres, with a depth of investigation of 500 metres or more. The survey was designed to map chargeability and resistivity features associated with potential copper, gold and silver mineralization in the Big Salmon volcano-sedimentary sequence that hosts the Arsenault VMS system. The survey identified 71 discrete anomalies: 29 first-priority targets exhibiting strong chargeability and low resistivity; 24 second-priority targets with moderate chargeability and resistivity; and 18 deeper-seated third-priority anomalies, some of which appear to be depth extensions of the shallower targets. Six northwest-southeast trending anomalous corridors were identified, following the regional structural grain and associated with interpreted faults and geological contacts. A major inferred fault running through the centre of the survey area separates a southwestern domain of strong to moderate chargeability coincident with low resistivity - considered prospective for VMS-style mineralization - from a northeastern domain of moderate to weak chargeability coincident with moderate to high resistivity (Figure 2).

  9. AIAkkodisAkkodis and Hamburg Public Transport Association Showcase hvv mia at InnoTrans 2026, Demonstrating the Future of AI-Powered MobilityCompanies: The Adecco GroupBERLIN, Germany, Sept 22, 2026 - Akkodis, a global leader in digital engineering consulting and part of the Adecco Group, will showcase how artificial intelligence is helping transform passenger mobility at InnoTrans 2026, the world's leading international trade fair for transport technology. Headlining Akkodis' presence is hvv mia, one of Akkodis' Synergeticon solutions, developed in collaboration with Hamburg Public Transport Association (hvv) to create more seamless, accessible and connected passenger experiences. Together, Akkodis and hvv will demonstrate how AI can help transportation operators better serve passengers while advancing the digital transformation of rail and other transportation networks. Built on Akkodis' Synergeticon AI Conversational Service Hub, hvv mia is a real-world example of how conversational and agentic AI can connect information, services and transactions across transportation systems through a single natural-language interface. Developed with hvv, with user experience design support from Luxoom, the solution enables passengers to access real-time journey information, route planning, ticket guidance and mobility services through intuitive, multilingual interactions. Rather than navigating multiple apps, websites or service channels, travelers can simply describe where they want to go or what they need, while hvv mia brings together the relevant information, ticket guidance and journey support through a single conversational experience. By unifying multiple data sources in one place, hvv mia helps simplify travel and create a more accessible, connected and user-friendly mobility experience. "The future of mobility depends on our ability to combine AI, engineering and human-centered design to create better transportation experiences," said Jo Debecker, President & CEO of Akkodis. "Through Akkodis Intelligence, we bring together advanced AI and deep engineering expertise to help customers solve complex real-world challenges. hvv mia demonstrates how this approach can create more intuitive, connected and accessible mobility experiences today while helping shape the intelligent and sustainable mobility systems of tomorrow." More than a passenger information solution, hvv mia demonstrates the broader potential of Akkodis' Synergeticon AI Conversational Service Hub. By bringing together transportation data, information and transactions within a unified conversational experience, the platform illustrates how agentic AI, intelligent service orchestration and human-centered design can help reduce friction across the passenger journey. Together, these capabilities provide a scalable foundation for more connected and responsive transportation experiences, supporting the digital transformation of rail and other transportation environments. "Passengers increasingly expect transportation services to be as intuitive and connected as the digital experiences they use every day," said Anna-Theresa Korbutt, Managing Director of hvv. "With hvv mia, we are demonstrating how AI can simplify the mobility journey by bringing together information, guidance and services through a single conversational interface. Our collaboration with Akkodis reflects a shared commitment to using innovation to make transportation more accessible, responsive and customer centric." At InnoTrans 2026, visitors to the Akkodis booth will experience how Akkodis Intelligence brings together human ingenuity, AI, digital engineering and transportation expertise to help create more intelligent, sustainable and efficient rail and mobility networks. Alongside hvv mia and the AI Conversational Service Hub, Akkodis will showcase capabilities spanning rail simulation, transportation systems engineering and digital transformation, highlighting how the company is helping customers reshape rail at the speed of AI while advancing the future of intelligent mobility. Advancing the industry conversation As part of InnoTrans 2026, Akkodis will host a panel discussion, How AI is Redrawing the Rail Supply Chain Landscape, bringing together senior leaders from Deutsche Bahn, Hitachi Rail, Alstom and Akkodis. The session will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming rail operations, data ownership, ecosystem partnerships and value creation across the transportation sector, and what organizations must do to translate AI innovation into sustainable business impact.
