[MENA to add 50GW of utility-scale solar by 2030]The MENA country plans to add 49.5GW of installed utility-scale solar capacity by 2030. With more than 30GW of development or construction projects announced between Oman, Morocco and Kuwait, these jurisdictions will lead the region in utility-scale solar PV this decade. All announced solar and wind projects will add more than five times the current renewable energy capacity in the MENA region, with utility-scale solar capacity currently standing at 7.4GW. In addition, Oman also plans to build a 12.5GW solar photovoltaic project, which will be operational by 2038. Editor/Xing Wentao
On May 25, 2026, CGN announced the candidates for the EPC general contracting of two mountain wind power projects in Lingyun, Guangxi. The total installed capacity of this project is 212.5MW, and a 6.25MW large model is uniformly used, which belongs to the Guixi Mountain Wind Power Project with high construction difficulty. Gezhouba Third Company ranked first with a quotation of 244.5 million yuan, followed closely by two energy construction companies. The total quotation difference among the top three companies was only about 13 million yuan, and the market competition was extremely fierce. The unit cost of this project is relatively low, and the industry believes that mountainous construction experience and local coordination ability will become the core winning factors in the final bid.Editor/Gong Ziwei
