[SSE plans to invest £40bn in clean energy projects] SSE Plc, a power generator and grid operator, set out plans to invest as much as 40 billion pounds in clean-energy projects over a decade and called on the government to keep Britain competitive. The UK is working to boost its renewable power generation capacity to meet its goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and to become more independent of imported energy after geopolitical conflicts caused supply disruptions. What we want to see is an acceleration of pace and ensuring that Britain can compete with places like the United States with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), SSE chief executive Alistair Phillips-Davies said in a conference call with reporters. Mr Phillips-davies said SSE could not rule out future investments in the US, but expected Europe to remain its core market. The UK has a contract for difference (CfD) scheme to help stimulate investment in new renewable energy projects, offering a guaranteed minimum price for the electricity they produce.

• [Shenzhen Smart Charging Station Upgrades Again]
• On June 9, 2026, the second phase of the Shenzhen Guangming Hongqiao Park Flash Charging Demonstration Station of Southern Power Grid was put into operation, adding 14 V2G charging piles and becoming the largest megawatt level vehicle network interactive flash charging station in China. All charging stations on the entire site support vehicle network interaction, which enables bidirectional energy flow between vehicles and the power grid. The site also integrates a drone nest for power inspection, greatly improving inspection efficiency. The site gathers three national pioneering technologies, and since the first phase of operation, the service train numbers and charging capacity have been considerable. After the expansion of the second phase, the energy replenishment and operation and maintenance capabilities have been further upgraded.Editor/Gong Ziwei
