Big changes are underway in Hainan—and they’re designed to make everyday life smoother for residents, expats, and businesses alike. China's Hainan Free Trade Port will officially launch island-wide independent customs operation on December 18, 2025, completing its transition into a full-fledged Free Trade Port.
In April 2018, China announced plans to transform the island into a pilot free trade zone, with a long-term vision of developing a free trade port with Chinese characteristics. A master plan released in 2020 aimed to make Hainan a globally influential hub for high-level openness by mid-century.

Launch of the Master Plan for the construction of the Hainan Free Port, aiming for global status by 2050.
The "Notice on Preferential Corporate Income Tax Policies for Hainan Free Trade Port" proposed that enterprises in encouraged industries registered and operated in Hainan Free Trade Port shall be subject to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%.
In Turkey as of 2023, there are available companies that have an annual solar module production capacity of 1.2 GW with zero micro-cracks. The existing energy infrastructure and the flexibility to adapt to the needs of solar PV integration have resulted in increased interest in this field in Turkey. 3.5. Legal factors
Up to USD 100 billion will be spent on this new initiative, and the country’s cumulative solar and wind capacity will exceed 120 GW by 2035. The total installed power generation capacity of Türkiye exceeds 110 GW in 2024, and the share of renewables has reached 50%.
As of June 2023, Turkey's total installed electric generation capacity has reached 104.904 GW. The installed capacity of solar power electricity amounts to 10.175 GW, resulting in a ratio of 9.7 % to the total installed capacity as indicated in Fig. 13. In the same month, Turkey's electricity generation from solar power amounted to 2.41 TWh.
Türkiye At the end of December 2022, total installed power capacity in Türkiye reached 103,809 MW, out of which PV plants accounted for 9,425 MW. The amount of solar PV projects under completion are estimated to be 1-1.5 GW. This capacity can be considered in addition to the installed capacity in 2022.
With more than 31,600 MW of installed capacity, wind energy is the primary source of electricity generation in Spain, currently covering 23% of demand. This is a significant milestone for the energy sector and reflects the country’s commitment to the transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
Wind power has become Spain's the number one technology (24.67%) regarding installed power capacity on the Spanish peninsula. Spain was the number seven in Europe in new investments with investment decisions in new onshore wind farms totalling 1.5 billion EUR (1.83 billion USD).
By then, Spain's power system is expected to operate on 100% renewable energy. The NECP 2021-2030 proposed wind capacity growth is presented in the table below. Progress and operational details Spain installed 1,720 MW of new wind power capacity in 2020.
The Spanish wind sector installed 842.61 MW during 2021 . Wind power has become in Spain the number one technology (25.7 %) regarding installed power capacity on the Spanish peninsula. Spain was the number seven in Europe in new investments with 1.5 billion EUR (1.83 billion USD) investment decisions in new onshore wind farms.
On June 10, 2021, the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress passed the Hainan Free Trade Port Law of the People's Republic of China, which determined to establish and improve the Hainan Free Trade Port customs supervision special zone system with closed-off customs operations on the entire island.
"With the independent customs operations, Hainan FTP is poised to become a key gateway for China's new era of opening up and innovation," Cai added. China's Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is set to launch an island-wide independent customs operation on Dec. 18, 2025, underscoring the country's wider push for high-standard opening up.

Hainan will build special customs supervision areas for trade liberalisation and facilitation when independent customs operations are launched and the “free flow through the first line and control at the second line” trade policy is implemented.

This paper provides a critical review of the existing energy storage technologies, focus-ing mainly on mature technologies. Their feasibility for microgrids is investigated in terms of cost, technical benefits, cycle life, ease of deployment, energy and power density, cycle life, and operational constraints.
Because the BESS has a limited lifespan and is the most expensive component in a microgrid, frequent replacement significantly increases a project’s operating costs. This paper proposes a capacity optimization method as well as a cost analysis that takes the BESS lifetime into account.
Through case studies (Case 1 to Case 4), the SESS configuration significantly improves the renewable energy consumption rate from 73.05% to 99.93%. This indicates that shared energy storage effectively promotes renewable energy utilization while reducing microgrid operating costs.
Because of renewable energy generation sources such as PV and Wind Turbine (WT), the output power of a microgrid varies greatly, which can reduce the BESS lifetime. Because the BESS has a limited lifespan and is the most expensive component in a microgrid, frequent replacement significantly increases a project’s operating costs.
