[South Africa: Install 18GW of renewable energy generation projects by 2030] South Africa is one of the best places in the world to develop photovoltaic projects due to its abundant photovoltaic power resources. The country has set a target of installing 18GW of renewable energy generation facilities by 2030, and photovoltaic systems are expected to make up a large part of that target. The South African Government's Renewable Energy Independent Generator Procurement Program (REIPPP) has been successful in attracting investment and supporting the development of photovoltaic projects in the country. The Renewable Energy Independent Generator Procurement Program (REIPPP) launched its sixth bid window in April 2022. The goal is to add 2,600MW of renewable energy to South Africa's energy mix. Meanwhile, South Africa's national energy regulator NERSA approved the establishment of 15 independent power generators in May 2022 and June 2022. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• [Liaoyuan will welcome its first high-speed railway]
• On January 29, 2026, Jilin Province announced that the route and station location of the Liaoyuan section of the Changsi Liaotong high-speed railway have been determined. The project is designed with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a total length of approximately 334 kilometers, which will end the history of Liaoyuan not being connected to high-speed railways. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that it is making every effort to promote the approval of pre feasibility studies and ensure their completion and opening to traffic by the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period. At that time, the travel time from Changchun to Liaoyuan will be shortened to about 45 minutes, and it will help Jilin achieve the goal of "connecting cities with high-speed rail".Editor/Gao Xue
