[UK grid to spend £20.9bn to achieve net zero emissions]The UK power network operator will have a £20.9bn budget to expand the grid to connect millions of electric vehicles, smart systems and small renewable energy projects over the next five years. The budget will be used for service, maintenance, upgrades and repairs by six UK distribution network companies from April 2023, and has been approved by regulator Ofgem. The plan, which includes tree-cutting, flood protection and other energy security measures, aims to improve the resilience of the UK's 800,000km of overhead and underground transmission lines to deal with more severe weather events in the future.

Recently, the 750000 kilowatt wind power project in Heishan, Jimunai County, China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) has achieved full capacity grid connection and operation, providing additional support for clean energy supply in northern Xinjiang and assisting Altay's energy green transformation. The project is located in Jimunai County, equipped with 75 10 MW wind turbines and a newly built 220 kV collection station. The project can output about 1.88 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, save about 568000 tons of standard coal, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.546 million tons. The follow-up team will focus on operation and maintenance, continuously release production capacity, drive local industries and employment, and serve the dual carbon goals.Editor/Li Xiaohua
