• [The Yuci Cultural Tourism Photovoltaic Project has officially started construction]
• Recently, the Yuci 30MW rural revitalization and cultural tourism photovoltaic project invested and constructed by Shanxi Maochun New Energy Co., Ltd. officially started construction in Tianqiao Village, Beitian Town, Yuci District, Jinzhong City. The project is planned to cover an area of 643 acres with an installed capacity of 30 megawatts. It is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2026, with an average annual power generation of 42.61 million kilowatt hours. As an innovative practice that integrates clean energy and rural development, the project will not only provide renewable green electricity for the local area, but also realize the three-dimensional utilization of land through the "photovoltaic+" model. It will plan and develop characteristic planting, ecological tourism and other formats under the photovoltaic panels, forming a green development pattern of "on-board power generation and off board benefit for the people", effectively driving local employment and rural tourism, injecting new energy into the rural revitalization strategy of Yuci District, and creating a comprehensive demonstration project integrating low-carbon environmental protection, industrial revitalization, and cultural tourism integration.

• [Iraq launches $17 billion 'Road to Development' plan]
• The "road to development" plan launched by Iraq was jointly signed by Türkiye, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and will invest 17 billion dollars to build a transportation corridor from Port Fao to Türkiye. The annual railway capacity of this project is expected to reach 3.5 million containers and 22 million tons of bulk cargo. After the first phase is completed in 2028, the annual revenue will be about 4 billion US dollars, which is expected to drive an annual increase of 10% to 15% in Middle East trade. The plan includes 1190km highway and double track railway, starting from Fao Port in the south and connecting with Türkiye network in the north. Fao Port is constructed by Daewoo of South Korea and is expected to become the largest container port in the Middle East after completion in 2025. At present, the project is still in the design stage, and the route planning has sparked controversy due to avoiding the Kurdish region. Financing mainly relies on the Iraqi budget, and external investment has not yet been implemented. The analysis points out that the project faces challenges such as corruption, administrative efficiency, and regional homogenization competition, but its potential to connect Asia and Europe still attracts attention. If smoothly promoted, it will become a crucial step for Iraq's economic transformation and regional connectivity. Editor/Yang Beihua
