[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
At present, there are 120 nuclear power units in operation and under construction approved in Chinese Mainland, with an installed capacity of 135 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world in terms of total scale. Among them, there are 62 operating units and 58 approved under construction units. According to the "15th Five Year Plan for Carbon Peak Action", the target for the installed capacity of nuclear power operation by 2030 is about 110 million kilowatts. Nuclear power has the advantages of low carbon, high energy density, and stable power supply, which will balance power growth and carbon reduction needs, ensure energy supply, and support a high proportion of new energy grid connection.Editor/Gong Ziwei
