[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

• [Energy self balancing converter valve sets sail for installation in Guangdong]
• The core equipment of the Yangshan Island offshore converter station in Yangjiang set sail from Nantong, Jiangsu, heading towards the Yangjiang sea area in Guangdong. The world's first new type of converter valve with energy self balancing function has officially entered the offshore installation stage. This equipment is developed by Changzhou Borui Electric Power and will be applied to the world's largest offshore wind power direct current transmission project. The project is scheduled to be put into operation in October 2025 and can provide approximately 6 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity to the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area annually, significantly reducing regional carbon emissions. Yes, it is equivalent to saving 1.74 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 4.62 million tons. Editor/Cheng Liting

• [The proportion of installed wind and solar power in Shandong has exceeded 50%]
• Recently, with the commissioning of the Huaneng Dezhou Xiaomiao Zhuang 30000 kW wind power project, the total installed capacity of wind and photovoltaic power in Shandong has reached 130.56 million kW, accounting for 50.18% of the province's total installed capacity of electricity, achieving a historic achievement of more than half of the installed capacity of wind and solar power. As a major industrial and energy consuming province, Shandong has previously achieved a new energy installed capacity surpassing coal-fired power. The proportion of wind and solar installed capacity has exceeded 50%, marking the continuous deepening of the local green and low-carbon transformation, which will inject solid green power support into industrial green upgrading.
