[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

• [The Zhanjiang section of Lanhai Expressway has officially started construction]
• On October 29, 2026, the Zhanjiang section of Lanhai Expressway officially started construction and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by 2030. The total length of the route is 152 kilometers, with four lanes in both directions, making it the second expressway from mainland China to Hainan Island. The project aims to build Guangdong's first fully chain intelligent construction site laboratory, selecting routes to avoid mangrove and coral reef protection areas, optimizing design to reduce land use by 996 acres. After completion, it will improve the transportation system across the Qiongzhou Strait and provide stronger road network support for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. Editor/Cheng Liting

• [Liaogang Group's first decentralized wind power starts construction]
• In October 2026, Liaogang Group's Dayaowan 6.25-megawatt decentralized wind power project entered the substantive construction stage. The project will build one new wind turbine and supporting facilities, with an annual power generation of about 15 million kilowatt hours and an annual reduction of 7250 tons of carbon dioxide emissions after commissioning. At present, Liaogang Group has built a photovoltaic installed capacity of 36.6 megawatts, generating over 40 million kilowatt hours of green electricity annually. After the completion of the next two distributed photovoltaic projects, the total photovoltaic installed capacity will exceed 49.9 megawatts, and the port's self-sufficiency in green electricity will continue to improve.
