[IEA: The global renewable energy installed capacity in 2023 is nearly 510GW] In a recent groundbreaking report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said that the world will install nearly 510GW of renewable energy capacity in 2023, a 50% surge compared to the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by the rapid growth of photovoltaic systems installed worldwide, which accounted for three-quarters of new renewable energy capacity installed worldwide. China has become a global renewable energy powerhouse, with as much installed PV system capacity in 2023 as will be installed worldwide in 2022, while wind power installations soared 66% year on year, showing impressive growth. Europe, the United States and Brazil also experienced record high growth in installed renewable energy capacity. The Renewable Energy 2023 Report, published by the International Energy Agency, is the first comprehensive assessment report released after the COP28 climate conference. According to the report, under current policies, the cumulative installed capacity of renewable energy generation facilities worldwide is expected to reach 7,300GW by 2028. This forecast shows that photovoltaic systems and wind power are the main contributors to the growth of global renewable energy installed capacity, accounting for 95%. Notably, by early 2025, renewable energy is expected to overtake coal as the world's main source of electricity. However, despite this significant progress, further efforts are needed to achieve the goal of tripling installed renewable energy capacity by 2030. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• [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.
