[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 June 9, 2026, the second phase of the Shenzhen Guangming Hongqiao Park Flash Charging Demonstration Station of Southern Power Grid was put into operation, adding 14 V2G charging piles and becoming the largest megawatt level vehicle network interactive flash charging station in China. All charging stations on the entire site support vehicle network interaction, which enables bidirectional energy flow between vehicles and the power grid. The site also integrates a drone nest for power inspection, greatly improving inspection efficiency. The site gathers three national pioneering technologies, and since the first phase of operation, the service train numbers and charging capacity have been considerable. After the expansion of the second phase, the energy replenishment and operation and maintenance capabilities have been further upgraded.Editor/Gong Ziwei
China has achieved a series of significant breakthroughs in future energy fields such as hydrogen energy, new energy storage, and nuclear fusion. By 2025, China's hydrogen energy production will exceed 37 million tons, ranking first in the world. The green hydrogen production capacity will exceed 250000 tons per year, accounting for more than half of the world's total production capacity. Beijing Changping Future Science City Energy Valley has attracted 1889 enterprises and gathered over 20000 scientific research talents.Editor/Gong Ziwei
