[India ramps up coal to fill power supply gap] In the case of local renewable energy development far less than expected, India has once again chosen to increase the use of coal power, and the industry is widely expected that the country's greenhouse gas emissions will hit a new record. Recently, the Indian government announced that it has extended the time limit for the mixed use of imported coal, requiring all coal power plants to continue to import coal until March next year, and increase the level of coal stocks while safeguarding local power supply. With the impact of extreme dry weather exceeding expectations, India's electricity demand peaked in August 2023, and in the case of local renewable energy development far less than expected, India once again chose to increase the use of coal power, and the industry is widely expected that the country's greenhouse gas emissions will hit a new high. In the past two years, although the Indian government said it strongly supports the development of renewable energy, in fact, the installed growth rate of renewable energy is far less than expected, and the new installed capacity of wind power generation needs to more than double every year to meet the established development goals. More data show that as of August 2023, India's renewable energy generation has only increased by 16 billion KWH, accounting for less than 15% of the total increase in power generation.

• [China will introduce a power storage system to Kazakhstan]
• According to the press office of the State Grid Management Corporation of Kazakhstan (KEGOC), China Power International Development Co., Ltd. will introduce a power storage system to Kazakhstan. KEGOC pointed out in the news that the implementation agreement of the pilot project for the introduction of energy storage systems in Kazakhstan's unified energy system was signed in Beijing on December 4. "Under the agreement, China Power International Development Co., Ltd. will install a power storage system with a maximum capacity of 5 MW at the Kazakh State Grid Management Joint Stock Company substation," KEGOC said in a statement. According to KEGOC, the project aims to "study the impact of the power storage system on the distribution of the power system when the renewable energy power is incorporated into the unified power system of Kazakhstan."

• [Mauritania launched a large-scale renewable energy hydrogen storage project]
• Denmark's GreenGo has launched the Megaton Moon project in Mauritania, a 60 GW solar-wind power facility equipped with 35 GW of green hydrogen capacity. The project developer submitted a development application to the Mauritanian Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines this week. The Megaton Moon project will be built in several phases, with the initial pilot phase expected to be completed in 2028 and the final phase to be completed between 2033 and 2035. In addition, the project will generate more than 70 million tons of desalinated water per year, which will be three times the amount of water consumed by the Megaton facility to produce green hydrogen itself. GreenGo said the project will also use more than 10 TWh of surplus energy to promote the development of large-scale agricultural industries and local supply chains in the desert region. "Developing a project of this scale requires close cooperation with the supply chain and purchasers," said Anders Heine Jensen, CEO of GreenGo. "The scale of the project will attract manufacturers to produce photovoltaic panels, wind turbine blades and electrolytic components locally. We are currently negotiating a Memorandum of Agreement with the manufacturer." Editor/Xu Shengpeng
