[Greece has huge potential for future development of renewable energy] Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the global energy transition has witnessed amazing progress in renewable energy. The pain brought by the energy crisis and high inflation to the energy sector in Greece has made the Greek government more determined to push forward the energy transition and implement the gas change target. First of all, in the area of policies and regulations, the Greek government has formulated a road map and removed obstacles for the development of green energy. Second, we should vigorously increase the proportion of sustainable energy supply, improve the energy mix and promote energy transformation. Greece has embarked on a fast track of green energy development with huge potential for future development. Thanks to its unique natural and geographical environment, Greece is rich in solar energy, wind energy and hydropower resources, which provide important basic conditions for green development. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the ongoing geopolitical crisis in Europe and the pain brought by the energy crisis and high inflation to the energy sector in Greece have strengthened the determination of the Greek government to promote energy transformation and implement the target of gas transformation. Green energy development in Greece has entered the fast track with huge potential for future development. This follows the Greek Government's National Energy and Climate Plan 2030 on climate and energy issues, which sets out a detailed road map for achieving specific energy and climate targets by 2030, as well as streamlining the renewable energy licensing process, with a target of 35% renewable energy consumption in Greece by 2030, Installed renewable energy capacity increased from 8.62 gigawatts to 25 gigawatts, and 70% of the renewable energy will be used for domestic electricity production. Of this total, photovoltaic capacity reached 7.7 gigawatts, wind capacity increased to 7 gigawatts, hydropower to 3.7 gigawatts, biomass to 300 megawatts and geothermal power to 100 megawatts.

• [Installation of Nuclear Island for Unit 1 of Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Expansion Project]
• On December 28, 2025, the installation of the nuclear island for Unit 1 of China HUANENG Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Expansion Phase I Project officially began. The project will construct two nuclear power units using China's third-generation "Hualong One" technology, with a single capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts and a construction period of 60 months. The project will commence construction in July 2024 and is planned to be completed and put into operation in 2029. By then, it will provide approximately 20 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by 5.78 million tons and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 14 million tons, effectively promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy in Shandong Province. The project adopts the management mode of the main owner, and has laid a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the project by establishing a three-level supervision system and promoting the application of more than 100 advanced construction technologies.Editor/Cheng Liting
