[350MW Photovoltaic+Photothermal Project Commences in Dangxiong, Lhasa]On the morning of August 30, 2023, the commencement ceremony of China Energy Construction's Lhasa Dangxiong 250MW photovoltaic+100MW photothermal power generation project was held. The project is located 7 kilometers southwest of Haoru Village, Dangxiong County, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region, 200 kilometers away from the urban area of Lhasa, with an elevation of 4400 meters. The overall planned installed capacity of this project is 650MW, including 100MW thermal storage photothermal power generation and 550MW photovoltaic power generation projects. The project will be divided into two phases, with a construction scale of 350MW in the first phase, including a 100MW thermal storage photothermal power generation project and a 250MW photovoltaic power generation project, which will be developed and constructed according to the integrated project of "photovoltaic+photothermal". The total planned investment of the project is about 5 billion yuan, with a first phase construction investment of about 3.8 billion yuan. The project can generate 150 long-term employment opportunities in the local area. After the project is completed, it will produce 495 million kilowatt hours of green electricity annually, saving approximately 116000 tons of standard coal per year. Correspondingly, it can reduce smoke and dust emissions by 5.8 tons, NOx emissions by 57.9 tons, SO2 emissions by 40.5 tons, and CO2 emissions by 104000 tons, effectively reducing atmospheric pollution. This project has good economic and social benefits and is a landmark demonstration project of "Green Sunshine". Editor/Zhao E
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.
