[In 2023, Austria will add more than 2GW of PV installed capacity] According to Austrian PV analyst Hubert Fechner, more than 2 GW of new solar power capacity will be installed in Austria in 2023. The Vice president of the Austrian Photovoltaic Technology Platform of the Photovoltaic Manufacturing and Research Association told PV magazine that while he did not have official data to confirm this exact figure, feedback from grid operators indicated that the threshold had been exceeded. According to PV Austria, 1 GW of solar power was installed in Austria in 2022. At this point, the country's total installed PV capacity reached 3.78GW, accounting for 6.6% of the total electricity demand. In 2021, 740 MW of new PV systems were installed in Austria, followed by 341 MW in 2020 and 247 MW in 2019. If the landlocked Central European country maintains this rate of installed capacity growth, "then the total installed capacity could reach about 20 GW by 2030 and 40 GW by 2040, as proposed in our national plan," Hubert said.

• [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.
