[Hebei Qianxi pumped storage power station project started] On March 20, 2023, the key implementation project of the 14th Five-Year Plan of the National Energy Administration - Qianxi County Pumped Storage Power Station Project started construction, with a total investment of 7.2 billion yuan. According to reports, the Qianxi County pumped storage power station project is located in Luanyang Town and Shangying Township, Qianxi County, Tangshan City. It is invested and constructed by Huayuan Power Co., Ltd. and is one of the seven pumped storage power station projects approved by Hebei Province in 2022. , mainly undertake tasks such as peak shaving, valley filling, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and emergency backup of the Beijing-Tianjin and northern Hebei power grid systems. It is planned to build a total installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts, and install 4 single-stage mixed-flow reversible pump-turbines with a single-unit capacity of 250 megawatts. The total construction period of the project is 66 months. It is expected that the first unit will be put into operation in 2029, and all four units will be put into operation in 2030. After the completion of the Qianxi pumped storage power station, it is estimated that it can generate 2.1 billion kWh annually, save 200,000 tons of standard coal, and contribute 90 million yuan in tax revenue. At the same time, the power station is expected to be able to cooperate with 2-2.6 million kilowatts of wind and solar power, improve the utilization rate of wind and wind energy, and reduce the proportion of thermal power units in the Beijing-Tianjin and northern Hebei power grids.

• [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
• On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

• [Malaysia's energy transition has made progress]
• On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
