[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 first power station in Cuba's new energy project is put into operation]
• On April 30, 2026, the first power station of China's 85MW photovoltaic project in Cuba, the "General Angel del Castillo Argemont" photovoltaic power station in the province of Ciego de Avila, was completed. The power station has an installed capacity of 5MW photovoltaic and 1MW energy storage, with a peak of 6MW. It is Cuba's first integrated photovoltaic and energy storage project and has the ability to ensure supply in an isolated island mode. Its operation has helped the province's photovoltaic power to exceed 100MW, effectively alleviating power shortages and reducing oil dependence.Editor/Cheng Liting
