[National Energy Administration: Rapid Development of Emerging Industries such as Computing Power Facilities and 5G Base Stations Will Become an Important Component of Future Electricity Consumption Growth] An official from the National Energy Administration answered reporters' questions regarding the "Implementation Measures for the Minimum Proportion Target of Renewable Energy Consumption and the Responsibility Weighting System for Renewable Energy Power Consumption." In recent years, emerging industries such as computing power facilities, 5G base stations, and charging infrastructure have developed rapidly, leading to explosive growth in their electricity demand, which will become an important component of future electricity consumption growth. It is estimated that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the national electricity consumption for computing power will increase by more than 100 billion kWh annually. Including these industries in the assessment will help accelerate the coverage of clean energy electricity with the increase in total electricity consumption, injecting new impetus into the green and low-carbon development of the whole society. Manufacturing industries in the new energy field, such as polysilicon and lithium-ion battery manufacturing, are key links and important supports in building a green energy industry chain. Including these industries in the assessment aims to implement the requirements of integrated development, accelerate the "greening through greening" approach, clarify green energy consumption requirements for enterprises producing clean energy equipment, and gradually establish a green industry chain and supply chain for coordinated carbon reduction across the upstream and downstream sectors.

[Iran Releases Five Key Points of Agreement Reached in First Round of Talks] On June 22, local time, the Iranian negotiating delegation's media committee released key contents and agreement points reached in the first round of talks between the US and Iran in Geneva: 1. Under pressure from the Iranian delegation, the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon has been maintained since the afternoon of June 20. To consolidate this ceasefire, a monitoring mechanism called the "De-escalation Group" will be established, in which Iran will participate. This mechanism signifies Iran's formal entry into the Lebanese security architecture. The US has attempted to exclude Iran from Lebanese affairs in recent months, and Israel has no place in this mechanism. 2. Regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz, a communication hotline will be established to ensure the gradual reopening of the strait, allowing direct contact with Iran for coordination and resolution of any problems that arise during implementation. This arrangement is interpreted as a confirmation of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. 3. According to the joint statement, three working groups will be established, respectively responsible for the nuclear issue, the Iranian sanctions issue, and the monitoring mechanism, and will begin working after Article 13 of the Memorandum of Understanding comes into effect. Article 13 includes: a comprehensive ceasefire (especially on the Lebanese front), lifting the maritime blockade, unfreezing frozen Iranian assets, and issuing waivers for Iranian oil and petrochemical products. Iran will not proceed to the final stage of negotiations until these are achieved. 4. During this round of negotiations, Iran and Qatar also signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets. 5. During the negotiations, in accordance with Article 10 of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued 60-day waivers for Iranian oil, petrochemicals, and related products. This means that Iran can officially sell oil to customers and receive related payments through the official mechanisms of the central bank. (CCTV International News)
