[New Chinese enterprises join hands with Indonesia to build a 900MW solar storage project] ERA Singapore and China Atomic Energy Industry Corporation (CREI) have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of a 900 megawatt solar power station and a supporting 1.2 gigawatt hour energy storage system in the Riau Islands of Indonesia. CREI is responsible for power station investment, construction, and operation, while ERA coordinates transmission and power consumption. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2029. As the first project of ERA's "New India Renewable Energy Plan", the project will deliver 400 megawatts of clean electricity to Singapore through submarine cables. ERA has obtained a conditional import permit from the Energy Market Authority of Singapore and is one of the six approved companies. Singapore plans to import approximately 6 gigawatts of low-carbon electricity by 2035 to meet one-third of its energy needs and support its net zero emissions target by 2050. ERA CEO Frank Phaun stated that this project is an important practice in realizing the low-carbon energy vision. In June 2025, Singapore and Indonesia reached a consensus to develop the solar energy industry in the Riau Islands and promote cross-border clean energy trade. The Energy Market Authority of Singapore previously approved the import of 1 GW of low-carbon hydropower from Malaysia by Shengke Public Utilities Company. The International Energy Agency and the International Solar Energy Society have pointed out that integrating solar and wind energy resources in Southeast Asia and using high-voltage direct current cables to achieve grid interconnection is a key path to meet regional electricity growth needs.

• [Two projects of Weifang to Zoucheng Expressway have been approved for preliminary land use]
• Recently, the Weifang to Zoucheng Expressway Weifang to Yiyuan section and Changle connecting line project, invested and constructed by Shandong Expressway Group, received preliminary land use approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources. It only took 23 working days from obtaining preliminary design approval to obtaining preliminary land use approval, laying a solid foundation for smooth construction. Since obtaining the preliminary design approval, the project preparation team has organized multiple special meetings with relevant units such as survey and demarcation, inventory and evaluation to discuss organizational plans, arrange dedicated personnel to monitor the progress in real time, strengthen communication and cooperation with government departments at all levels along the line, concentrate on tackling obstacles and difficulties, strengthen policy research, and efficiently promote milestone work such as inventory and evaluation. In this project, the Weifang to Yiyuan section has a total length of 84.61 kilometers, starting from the Baifenzi hub where the Weiri Expressway intersects with the Weiqing Expressway and ending at the Linlin Expressway east of Yuezhuang Town, Yiyuan County, Zibo; The Changle connecting line has a total length of 23.03 kilometers, starting from the Jiwei Expressway in the northwest of Honghe Town, Changle County, Weifang, and ending at the Weizhou Expressway in the east of Dasheng Town, Anqiu City. The implementation of the project is of great significance for improving the layout of the regional expressway network, promoting interconnectivity between the Jiaodong and Lunan economic circles, driving regional economic and social development, and developing tourism resources along the route.
