[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.

• [China's largest single power flywheel energy storage project put into operation]
• On November 6, 2026, China's largest single-power flywheel energy storage project was connected to the grid at Huaneng Lanzhou Thermal Power Company, marking an important breakthrough in China's rapid frequency regulation technology for flywheel energy storage in thermal power bases. The 5 MW flywheel put into operation this time is currently the largest single-power flywheel in China. Its adjustment rate can reach 5 MW/s, its power storage can reach 1,250 kWh, its charge and discharge efficiency can reach over 85%, and its cycle life can reach tens of millions of times.Editor/Gong Ziwei
