[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

• [500 kV Wuhu GIL pipe gallery project starts construction]
• On the morning of March 26, 2026, the "Wanmei Electric Power" shield machine of the 500 kV Wuhu GIL pipe gallery project was excavated in Nicha Town, Wuwei City, and the project officially started. This project provides support for the Yangtze River transmission channel of the Gansu Zhejiang ± 800 kV high-voltage project, relocating the original 500 kV line to the ground and reserving two 500 kV cross river channels. The project is the first 500 kV transmission pipeline crossing the Yangtze River in China, with a shield section length of 3554.4 meters and a tunnel outer diameter of 11.6 meters. It is equipped with customized large-diameter shield machines.Editor/Gong Ziwei
