[Tunisia's first 225 kV grid connected photovoltaic project put into operation]Recently, the Tunisian Keruwan 100 MW photovoltaic power station, jointly constructed by China Energy Engineering Tianjin Electric Power Construction and Northwest Institute, has officially entered commercial operation. This is the country's first renewable energy project to connect to the 225 kV power grid. The project covers an area of 200 hectares and has an operation period of 25 years. After completion, the annual power generation can meet the electricity needs of over 100000 households in the local area, reducing natural gas import expenses by about 22 million US dollars annually and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 200000 tons. During the construction period, the project created nearly 900 job opportunities for the local area, trained over 300 local technicians, and introduced Chinese photovoltaic tracking bracket technology, translating industry standards into French and Arabic for promotion.Editor/Bian Wenjun
Under the global economic and supply chain adjustment, emerging market countries are upgrading their infrastructure through public-private partnerships to enhance competitiveness. Brazil is struggling with an outdated logistics network and has recently announced a railway franchise plan to award eight contracts worth over 140 billion Brazilian reals (approximately 26.3 billion US dollars) within a year to build and upgrade over 9000 kilometers of railways, which is its key strategic layout. The government enhances the financing feasibility of projects through innovative financing and introduces policies to boost investor confidence. The eight major projects cover domestic food, industrial corridors, and international strategic channels. The significance of the Two Ocean Railway is significant, and Brazil is betting on railways, which may enter a new era of logistics driven growth. Editor/Cheng Liting
Against the backdrop of promoting the construction of a national new energy comprehensive demonstration zone in Ningxia, on December 18, 2025, the 500000 kW new energy project of China Resources Ningxia Zhongwei Silicon based Characteristic Advantage Industry Green Power Park started construction in Yongkang Town. The project has a total installed capacity of 500 megawatts and an investment of approximately 1.71 billion yuan. It took 96 days to complete from approval to commencement, setting a new record for China Resources Power's project promotion in Ning. Its rapid implementation is attributed to the strategy of Ningxia's characteristic advantageous industry green power park. The project generates 900 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually and supplies power to silicon-based enterprises, which is in line with the goal of increasing the proportion of green power. China Resources Power has cooperated with multiple parties and prepared in advance, with a rapid layout in Ningxia. This project will become an innovative sample of China's new energy industry and empower green development in the western region. Editor/Cheng Liting
