[Huaneng Shidaowan Nuclear Power Expansion Phase I Project Starts] July 28, 2024 marked the official launch of the first phase of the Huaneng Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Expansion Project, Huaneng’s first fully independently constructed large-scale pressurized water reactor nuclear power project, and the first tank of concrete was successfully poured on the nuclear island of Unit 1. The project is located in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. The overall plan covers four million-kilowatt "Hualong One" pressurized water reactor nuclear power units with a total installed capacity of up to 4.8 million kilowatts. It aims to lead the development of the industry through my country's independent third-generation nuclear power technology. The project is implemented in two phases. The first phase of the expansion currently under construction includes 2 units. It was approved in July 2023 and is expected to be put into operation in 2029. After being put into operation, the annual power generation of the project will reach approximately 20 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to reducing the burning of 5.78 million tons of standard coal, and significantly reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides to 14 million tons and 45,000 tons respectively. and 40,000 tons, contributing to the clean energy transformation and environmental protection in Shandong and even the country.

• [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
• On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

• [Malaysia's energy transition has made progress]
• On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
