[Jiangsu Changzhou Shared Energy Storage Power Station Project Commences]On the morning of August 28, 2023, the first shared energy storage power station construction project in Changzhou City began construction in the Wujin National High tech Zone. It is planned to be connected to the grid by the end of the year, providing supporting energy storage services for new energy enterprises, and assisting in peak shaving, valley filling, energy conservation, and efficiency enhancement of the power grid. The energy storage power station is located in the third phase factory of Wanbang Digital Energy Co., Ltd., utilizing idle land and nearby access to the power grid. It is the first "multi station integration" energy comprehensive service station in the city that integrates elements such as 20KV distribution and transformation, centralized energy storage, distributed energy station, distributed photovoltaic, charging pile, and green energy data center. The total investment of the project is about 100 million yuan, and the construction scale is 10MW/20MWh. Xu Jian, Technical Director of Wanbang Digital Energy Co., Ltd., introduced that the project is equivalent to a giant "power bank" that can be charged and discharged twice a day. After being connected to the grid, the estimated annual online discharge capacity will reach 13.2 million kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to the monthly electricity consumption of 60000 households; Correspondingly, it can reduce coal consumption by over 4000 tons annually, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 17000 tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by about 28 tons, and dust emissions by about 6 tons.

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.
