[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

• [Excavation of the First Foundation of Dalat Mengxi kV Project]
• On May 31, 2026, the excavation of the first foundation of the Dalat Mengxi 1000 kV AC power transmission and transformation project marked the substantial construction stage of the supporting project for the external transmission channel of the national Shagehuang large base. The project investment is 4.374 billion yuan, and a new double circuit line of 124.4 kilometers will be built, which is a key supporting facility for the ± 800 kV high-voltage direct current project from Mengxi to Beijing Tianjin Hebei. After completion, it will solve the problem of new energy consumption in the Kubuqi Desert and the central and northern parts of Ordos, providing solid support for the extension of the North China ultra-high voltage network to western Mongolia and ensuring clean power transmission to the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.Editor/Cheng Liting
