• [Microsoft and Brookfield sign $10 billion renewable energy deal]
• Tech giant Microsoft has signed a global framework agreement to support about $10 billion worth of renewable energy projects and buy power developed by Brookfield Asset Management. The agreement aims to provide about 10.5 GW of solar and wind power between 2026 and 2030, and based on recent industry trends, this capacity will cost more than $10 billion to develop. Microsoft's deal with Brookfield would be the largest power purchase agreement of its kind, nearly tripling the 3 GW of power currently consumed by data centers in East Lawton County, Virginia. Lawton County, known as Data Center Lane, is the "largest data center market" in the world. The surge in artificial intelligence technology and the massive construction of data centers in the United States has the biggest tech companies scrambling for grid connections and reliable power supplies to power the technologies of the future. Most large companies want their power sources to be as clean as possible, preferably renewable. But utilities are struggling to keep up with soaring demand for data centers while maintaining reliable operations for all customers in the areas they serve. While Amazon, Microsoft, and all the other tech giants want solar and wind to power their operations, delivery times for new grid connections may take longer than they'd like. Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha recently issued government Decree No. 338 on approving the Implementation Plan of the National Energy Master Plan 2021-2030 and Vision 2050. The National Energy Master Plan covers industries such as oil and gas, coal, electricity, new energy and renewable energy, including activities related to energy basic investigation, exploration, exploitation, production, storage, distribution and use, according to the government order. The investment demand for the energy industry in 2021-2030 is about VND 4.13-4.8 trillion (about 1.2-1.4 billion yuan), and the government order clearly requires that all investments in energy projects use capital other than public investment. The government decree announces key and priority projects in the energy sector and their specific progress, energy potential projects and other projects. From 2021 to 2030, the land demand for energy industry infrastructure construction is about 93,000 to 97,000 hectares, and from 2031 to 2050, it is about 171,000 to 196,000 hectares. By 2030, the area of offshore projects is expected to be 334,800 hectares and about 1.3-1.7 million hectares by 2050. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
