[Philippine ACEN plans to complete 5GW renewable energy inallation target by 2025]ACEN Corporation, the energy business platform of the Ayala Group, is aggressively expanding its business to complete the target of 5GW of renewable energy installations by 2025. ACEN, which has achieved leapfrog growth in renewable energy assets from 0 to 1,000 megawatts (MW) in five years, said in its annual report that the company is building several projects simultaneously in 2023. Therefore, it is confident that the installed capacity target of 5 GW will be achieved by the end of 2025. ACEN's renewable energy assets have now reached 4.2GW. In addition to developing traditional renewable energy projects including onshore photovoltaic and onshore wind projects, ACEN will also study emerging technologies such as offshore wind and floating wind projects to expand its project capacity. The company currently has a concession project in the Laguna de Bay area of the Philippines, and will install floating photovoltaic projects. In the future, with 5 GW of renewable energy installed capacity, ACEN will further achieve a total of 20 GW of cumulative renewable energy installed capacity by 2030. In addition, the company also partially put into operation the Pagudpud wind power project in Ilocos Norte, Philippines last week, with an installed capacity of 160 MW, and 80 MW of capacity has been put into COD so far. Eric Francia, president of Acen, previously stated that the company's goal is to increase the operating capacity of the wind farm from 80 MW to 135 MW, and put the second phase of the project into operation in early 2023.

On December 25, 2025, the Chongqing Guizhou and Hunan Guizhou Power Flexible Mutual Aid Project officially started construction, marking a crucial step for Guizhou in building a power hub in the southwest region. The dynamic investment for both projects is about 4.95 billion yuan, with a total of about 210 kilometers of new construction in the Guizhou section. After the completion of the project, an additional 3 million kilowatts of inter provincial bidirectional power transmission capacity will be added, effectively promoting deep complementarity between Guizhou, Chongqing, and Hunan in seasonal electricity, surplus electricity adjustment, and emergency support. This not only strengthens the interconnection between the two major systems of State Grid and Southern Power Grid, improves the efficiency of cross provincial optimization of energy resource allocation, provides solid physical support for building a unified national electricity market, but also provides stronger guarantees for the economic and social development and people's electricity demand in the three provinces (cities).

On December 29, 2025, the construction of the GCL Digital Finance Center began in the Dayuwan area of Kunshan High tech Zone. As the core engine of Kunshan's "Science and Technology Innovation Corridor", the project has a total investment of about 5 billion yuan and a total construction area of about 340000 square meters. The project is positioned as an "ecological+livable+innovative" urban science and technology innovation reception hall, which will integrate four major business formats: scientific research office, trendy commerce, top hotels, and urban supporting facilities. It is expected to have an annual output value of over 10 billion yuan in the future. This marks a crucial step for Kunshan in promoting the deep integration of "industry, city, and people" and laying out a new track for artificial intelligence, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the city.Editor/Cheng Liting
