[Two power transmission and transformation projects in the Xiongan New Area began]On August 25, construction began on the Rongxi 220-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project in the northwest of Xiongan New Area in Hebei province. The Fuxing 220 kV power transmission and transformation project also started on the same day. After the two projects are completed and put into operation, the northern part of the Xiongan New Area will form a 220 kV regional power supply pattern between Xiongan-Baodong and Xiongan-Xiongdong, improving the reliability of the power supply in the Xiongan New Area and laying a good foundation for the construction of a world-class urban power grid in the Xiongan New Area. According to reports, the Rongxi 220 kV transmission and transformation project starts at 500 kV Xiongan Substation and ends at 220 kV Rongxi Substation. The project will build a 220-kilovolt substation and a 19.3-kilometer cable, which will become one of the important power transmission channels in Xiongan New Area. The clean energy from Zhangbei will be directly sent to the Xiongan Northwest regional load center through the 1000kV Zhangbei - Xiongan UHV project and the 220kV Rongxi power transmission and transformation project. The Fuxing 220 kV transmission and transformation project is located in the start-up area of Xiongan New Area, and will build a 220 kV Fuxing substation, a 2×5.66 km cable from Fuxing Station to 220 kV Opera village substation, and a 0.65 km overhead line from Fuxing Station to 220 kV Xiongzhou Substation. The project is scheduled to be completed in December 2025, when it will provide power to the start-up area headquarters
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.

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.
