[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
As of May 17, 2026, the cumulative transmission capacity of the Qinghai Henan ± 800 kV high-voltage project has exceeded 100 billion kilowatt hours. This project is the world's first clean energy transmission ultra-high voltage channel, overcoming multiple world-class challenges and delivering clean energy from Qinghai to Central China, supporting the "dual carbon" goal. Currently, Qinghai is advancing the planning and construction of subsequent ultra-high voltage projects.Editor/Gong Ziwei
