At the forum, Yuhuan City and Huaneng Jinko Wind Power Co., Ltd. signed an investment agreement for the Yuhuan No. 2 offshore wind power project, with a total investment of 6.67 billion yuan. The Yuhuan No. 2 offshore wind farm project is the largest offshore wind power project in southeast Zhejiang. It is planned to deploy 36 14MW wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 504MW. The annual on-grid electricity is about 1.69 billion kWh, saving about 527,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.439 million tons, and is expected to be completed and put into operation at the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

The European Union has announced its 2040 high-speed rail development plan, with a total investment of 550 billion euros, aiming to build a high-speed rail network across Europe and reduce travel time between major capitals by half. The funding will adopt the "EU Fund+Member State Supporting+Private Capital" model, and a high-speed railway agreement will be introduced before 2026 to leverage private capital. The entire network will unify the signal system, with a focus on filling the gaps in Eastern and Southern Europe. This website has the triple intention of green transformation, economic cohesion, and geopolitical strategy, but financing, land acquisition, and approval are still tough battles, and whether they can be realized depends on the finances and progress of each country.Editor/Cheng Liting
