[Liaoning transportation key investment will reach 53 billion yuan] According to the Liaoning Provincial Department of Transport, in order to implement the requirements of Liaoning three-year action deployment, Liaoning will promote the implementation of 72 key transportation projects worth more than RMB 100 million in 2023, with an investment of RMB 53 billion, up 15.3% year-on-year. In order to accelerate the resumption of key projects and promote the increase of physical workload and investment, Liaoning focused on solving prominent problems concerned by market entities, and launched ten work measures, including serving the special management of state-owned enterprises, booking services for large-scale transportation, managers of road-related construction projects, cross-provincial handling of high-frequency matters, and high-speed cloud loans for small and micro enterprises, to promote the healthy and sustainable development of market entities. In order to do a good job in bulk transportation reservation service, Liaoning government departments actively docking with more than 50 large manufacturing enterprises such as Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Co., LTD., Sany Heavy Industry Co., LTD., take the initiative to provide door-to-door service, establish windoon-to-door cooperation relationship between government and enterprise for administrative examination and approval, and provide them with reservation system examination and approval service according to the production plan of enterprises. Since 2023, 19,561 large transportation approvals have been handled. With a year-on-year growth of 11%, the average time for cross-provincial approval of three types of major projects was reduced from 15 days to 2.8 days, ranking first in the country.

• [Australia: 120 gigawatt hours of energy storage can provide 98.5% renewable energy supply]
• The latest simulation study shows that the Australian national electricity market can achieve nearly 100% renewable energy supply with only 24 gigawatts/120 gigawatt hours of energy storage, of which renewable energy accounts for 98.5% and the remaining 1.5% is supplemented by other energy sources. This simulation is based on actual electricity data since August 2021, scaling wind and photovoltaic power generation to 60% and 45% of annual demand, respectively, and utilizing existing hydropower synergy balance. The estimated power supply cost is $126 per megawatt hour, which is equivalent to the wholesale electricity price level in the past five years.Editor/Yang Meiling

• [EU sets new high for battery energy storage installation by 2025]
• In 2025, the EU will add 27.1 gigawatt hours of battery energy storage capacity, a year-on-year increase of 45%, setting a historical record. Since 2021, the total scale of energy storage in the European Union has surged from 7.8 gigawatt hours to 77.3 gigawatt hours, an increase of nearly tenfold. The report points out that public utility scale projects have become the main force, accounting for 55% of the annual new installed capacity, indicating a significant shift in market structure. To meet the energy flexibility needs by 2030, the EU needs to increase its energy storage capacity tenfold to approximately 750 gigawatt hours to support large-scale integration of renewable energy.Editor/Yang Meiling
