[Russia approves gas supply agreement with Cosco East Route]It is reported that the Russian State Duma passed a bill on the approval of Russia and Cosco East route gas supply cooperation agreement. According to earlier news, Russia and China plan to build a pipeline from Dalinelechensk in Russia to Hulin in China across the Ussuri River under the Far East Pipeline cooperation project. In early February 2022, Gazprom and petrochina signed a long-term contract on the annual export of 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China via the Far East Route. After the project is implemented, the total supply of natural gas from Russia to China will reach 48 billion cubic meters. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said earlier that the implementation of the Russia-China cooperation agreement on gas supply from Russia to China via the Far East Route is beneficial to both countries and will further promote the development of Russia's Far East region.

On November 10, 2026, the first tower of the Zhejiang ultra-high voltage AC ring network project was completed in Shangyu, Shaoxing, and the project officially entered the tower assembly stage, helping to promote clean energy consumption and power grid supply in East China. This project is a key power engineering project during the 15th Five Year Plan period, with a total investment of 29.3 billion yuan. It is planned to be put into operation in November 2029 and will create the first provincial high-voltage AC ring network in China. The project can consume over 57 billion kilowatt hours of clean energy annually, effectively reducing carbon emissions and improving the power supply guarantee level in the Yangtze River Delta.Editor/Li Xiaohua
