[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
On June 30, 2026, the Xudabao Nuclear Power 500 kV Transmission Project successfully delivered power to the entire line. The project is designed for grid connected power transmission of Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant units. After the project is fully put into operation, it can deliver 10 billion kilowatt hours of green electricity annually, ensuring the electricity supply for a large number of enterprises while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

On June 30, 2026, the ± 800 kV high-voltage direct current transmission project from northern Shaanxi to Anhui was fully completed and put into operation. This is the first ultra-high voltage direct current transmission project put into operation in China during the 15th Five Year Plan period. After the project is put into operation, it can replace 5.5 million tons of coal consumption and reduce 14.2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Editor/Cheng Liting
