[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.

• [Drilling of the first well in the second phase of the Bohai large-scale gas field]
• On June 9, 2026, the first well G10 on the WHPG pilot platform of the Bohai Bay's first 100 billion cubic meter gas field - Bozhong 19-6 gas field Phase II development project - was successfully drilled, marking the full start of the drilling engineering for the gas field Phase II development project. The gas field is located in the central Bohai Sea, with an average depth of about 20 meters. Currently, the proven geological reserves of natural gas exceed 200 billion cubic meters, and the geological reserves of condensate oil exceed 200 million cubic meters. The Phase I development project of the gas field will be put into operation in November 2023, and the Phase II development project will build three wellhead platforms and three pipeline racks.Editor/Gong Ziwei
