[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.

• [Morocco NOOR Atlas Photovoltaic Project Fully Launched]
• The Moroccan National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water and the Sustainable Energy Agency have officially signed a power purchase agreement for the NOOR Atlas project and started construction. The total installed capacity of the project is about 305 megawatts, covering six photovoltaic power stations in the east, southeast, and south. It adopts the EPC mode and is constructed by the MoU Enterprise Consortium, with MASEN responsible for operation and maintenance. The project integrates preferential loans from the German Renaissance Credit Bank, the European Investment Bank, and commercial loans from the Moroccan African Bank, and is planned to be connected to the grid starting from July 2027. After being put into operation, it will significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy in Morocco, strongly support the national strategic goal of achieving 52% renewable energy installed capacity by 2030, and drive the regional green economy transformation.Editor/Cheng Liting

• [Tarim River launches 27th downstream ecological water transfer]
• On March 22, 2026, the Tarim River, the longest inland river in China, launched the first phase of the 27th ecological water transfer downstream. It is reported that the spring water supply launched this time will last for 15 days, with a discharge of 20 million cubic meters, accurately matching the critical period of spring vegetation germination and providing timely water support for vegetation growth. The second phase of high flow water transportation is expected to start during the flood season in August this year. Editor/Cheng Liting
