[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.

  • [Inner Mongolia Energy Group launches wind power project]
  • Five wind power projects of Inner Mongolia Energy Group have recently been launched, with a total installed capacity of 2.25 million kilowatts, covering multiple areas such as Erlian and Siziwang Banner. The project customizes unit selection based on wind resource conditions, with the Erlian project using 35kV high-voltage direct hanging units to optimize grid access friendliness. After the completion of the project, the annual power generation will be 5.61 billion kilowatt hours, saving about 1.69 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 5 million tons, which will greatly enhance the regional clean energy supply capacity.
