[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

• [Drilling of the first well in the second phase of the Bohai large-scale gas field]
• On June 9, 2026, the first well G10 on the WHPG pilot platform of the Bohai Bay's first 100 billion cubic meter gas field - Bozhong 19-6 gas field Phase II development project - was successfully drilled, marking the full start of the drilling engineering for the gas field Phase II development project. The gas field is located in the central Bohai Sea, with an average depth of about 20 meters. Currently, the proven geological reserves of natural gas exceed 200 billion cubic meters, and the geological reserves of condensate oil exceed 200 million cubic meters. The Phase I development project of the gas field will be put into operation in November 2023, and the Phase II development project will build three wellhead platforms and three pipeline racks.Editor/Gong Ziwei
