[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.

At 13:46 on August 12, 2026, the load of the Guangzhou power grid system reached its historical peak for the third time this year, with a maximum load of 26.231 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 4.46%. Faced with the dual challenges of sustained high temperatures and rising electricity demand, the Guangdong Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau of Southern Power Grid is working together to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid during peak hours through the coordination of source, grid, load, and storage.Editor/Gong Ziwei
On August 13, 2026, the Lianyungang Huai'an section of the Lianyungang Yizheng crude oil pipeline project, a key national oil and gas infrastructure project, was successfully put into operation. This is the first 10 million ton crude oil pipeline put into operation at the beginning of China's 15th Five Year Plan, which is of great significance for optimizing the energy supply structure in the central and eastern regions of China and improving the national oil and gas network layout.Editor/Gong Ziwei
