[Germany 2023 renewable energy installed statistics released] On January 5, the German Federal Network Administration (BNetzA) published preliminary data on the growth of installed renewable energy capacity in Germany in 2023. In 2023, Germany added 17GW of renewable energy capacity, bringing the total installed capacity to nearly 170GW, an increase of 12% year-on-year. Most of Germany's renewable energy growth comes from solar and wind power. Klaus Muller, head of BNetzA, said that the almost doubling of solar power generation compared to 2022 is rapidly driving Germany's energy transition. In 2023, renewable energy generation in Germany exceeded 50% for the first time, but German onshore wind power still did not meet the expected target in 2023. However, there is a significant increase in the number of permits in 2023. According to the German solar industry association BSW, more than 1 million new solar power systems were installed in Germany last year. However, wind power is still the main source of electricity in Germany. Overall, renewables accounted for more than half of electricity consumption for the first time. Wind power in Germany saw a significant increase in 2023. According to earlier reports, Germany added 50 percent more wind power capacity in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The share of wind power in total electricity generation is also increasing, with more than a quarter (27%) of Germany's electricity coming from wind power for the first time in the first three quarters of 2023.

• [Qatar has announced the launch of a national renewable energy strategy]
• Qatar Hydro Corporation (Kahramaa) today announced the launch of the Qatar National Renewable Energy Strategy (QNRES) to advance the sustainable development goals of Qatar's National Vision 2030. The strategy, developed by Kahramaa in coordination with 22 major energy entities in the country, aims to increase and diversify the use of renewable energy, with a focus on the use of solar power. With more than 2,000 KWH of solar power per square meter per year, Qatar ranks first in the world and is one of the countries with the greatest potential to produce photovoltaic power. According to the newly published strategy, Qatar aims to expand its large-scale renewable energy facilities to about 4 GW by 2030, while installing about 200 MW of distributed solar power generation equipment. The strategy will not only reap economic benefits, but also focus on environmental protection, improving air quality and contributing to Qatar's energy security through the diversification of the country's sources of power generation.

• [Malaysia is actively building a logistics hub in Southeast Asia]
• The Malaysian government has developed short - and long-term strategies aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of the country's major ports, namely Port Klang and Tanjong Palapas. Malaysian Transport Minister Lok Siu-fook said the strategy covers increasing port capacity, improving efficiency and productivity, and transforming to a low-carbon green port. In recent years, Malaysia has vigorously developed its port economy through a number of initiatives such as port expansion, port digitization and the establishment of free trade zones, and is committed to becoming a logistics hub in Southeast Asia. With the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Malaysia have deepened port cooperation and further upgraded the level of port infrastructure construction and operation in Malaysia. At present, the Belt and Road cooperation between China and Malaysia has formed a pattern of the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park in the East, the Kuantan Port "One Park and one port", and the Port Klang in the west through the East Coast Rail line.
