[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 the end of May 2026, the total length of 220 kV and above transmission lines in Xinjiang power grid has exceeded 50000 kilometers, forming a backbone network of ultra-high voltage AC/DC hybrid connection and coordinated internal supply and external transmission. Xinjiang Power Grid has built 39 750 kV substations with a total length of 14800 kilometers, 1113.92 kilometers of 800 kV and above ultra-high voltage transmission lines, and 182 220 kV substations, forming a modern power supply network that promotes mutual assistance between the north and south, east-west communication, safety and reliability, and flexible allocation.Editor/Gong Ziwei
The Wuhan Institute of Technology laboratory has successfully produced tens of thousands of meters of large fiber bundles of carbon fibers, and China has achieved mass production of T1000 and above high-performance carbon fibers. This material has extremely high strength and has long been blocked by foreign technology. Zhongfu Shenying is the world's first enterprise to achieve mass production of 100 tons of T1200 grade carbon fiber, and China has completed decades of industrialization process abroad in a short period of time. The breakthrough in high-performance carbon fiber is not only a significant achievement in the field of new materials, but will also reshape the trillion dollar global supply chain.Editor/Gong Ziwei
