[In the first July, 161.2 billion yuan was invested in solar power generation] On August 17, the National Energy Administration released the statistics of the national power industry from January to July. By the end of July, the country's cumulative installed power generation capacity was about 2.74 billion kilowatts, an increase of 11.5% year-on-year. Among them, the installed solar power capacity of about 490 million kilowatts, an increase of 42.9%; The installed capacity of wind power was about 390 million kilowatts, up 14.3 percent year on year. Previous data showed that as of the end of June, the cumulative installed power generation capacity of the country was about 2.71 billion kilowatts, an increase of 10.8%. Among them, the installed capacity of solar power generation was about 470 million kilowatts, an increase of 39.8%. The installed capacity of wind power was about 390 million kW, up 13.7 percent year on year. After the two data are set off against each other, it can be seen that the installed capacity of photovoltaic in July is 20 million kilowatts. It accounted for two-thirds of the new power generation installed in July alone. From January to July, the cumulative average utilization of power generation equipment in the country was 2079 hours, 54 hours less than the same period last year. Among them, 1,578 hours of hydropower, 523 hours less than the same period last year; 780 hours of solar power generation, 42 hours less than the same period last year; Wind power 1,416 hours, an increase of 112 hours over the same period last year; Nuclear power 4,440 hours, 100 hours more than the same period last year; 2,573 hours of thermal power generation, an increase of 96 hours over the same period last year. From January to July, the major power generation enterprises in the country completed investment of 401.3 billion yuan in power supply projects, an increase of 54.4%. Among them, solar power generation was 161.2 billion yuan, up 108.7% year-on-year; Nuclear power reached 43.9 billion yuan, up 50.5% year on year. The investment in power grid projects was 247.3 billion yuan, up 10.4% year on year. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
• On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

• [Malaysia's energy transition has made progress]
• On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
