[The main project of Unit 5 of CGN Fujian Ningde Nuclear Power Plant has started]On July 28, 2024, China General Nuclear Power Group ushered in an important milestone at the Ningde Nuclear Power Station in Taimushan Town, Fuding City, Ningde City, Fujian Province. The first tank of concrete was officially poured on the nuclear island of Unit 5, marking the adoption of China's independently developed " The main project of the unit using Hualong One's third-generation nuclear power technology was officially launched, and it also kicked off the second phase of the Ningde nuclear power project. As the first nuclear power plant to start construction and put into operation in Fujian Province, this project has four units in the first phase that have contributed more than 290 billion kilowatt-hours of grid-connected electricity since its construction started in 2008, equivalently replacing more than 87.58 million tons of standard coal, a significant reduction of 2.38 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Units 5 and 6 of the second phase were approved in 2023. Each unit is expected to generate nearly 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which is enough to meet the electricity needs of a million people for a year, further consolidating Ningde Nuclear Power's position as an important base for clean energy.

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.

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.
