Danzhou in Hainan Advances "Nuclear Power to Yangpu" and "Nuclear Steam to Yangpu" to Support Zero-Carbon Industrial Park Development

On September 2, the series of themed press conferences for the "15th Five-Year Plan" kickoff (fifth session at the city and county level) — the Danzhou special session was held. A relevant official from Danzhou stated that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Danzhou will focus on building a new-type power system, a new-type energy system, and zero-carbon industrial parks and low-carbon city development, promoting deep integration of clean energy with port-adjacent industries, and striving to become a national demonstration area for new-type power systems. According to the released content, during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Hainan Power Grid plans to invest 5 billion yuan in Danzhou to build a coordinated "transmission-distribution-microgrid" three-tier power grid. By 2030, Danzhou will fully establish a layered, zoned, and independently operated grid framework, promote "nuclear power to Yangpu" to achieve local consumption of green electricity with full-chain traceability and verifiability, reducing the regional power carbon emission factor across the entire area to below 0.05 kgCO₂/kWh.

Budapest Launches Feasibility Study for Long-Distance Heat Supply from Paks Nuclear Power Plant

On August 11, 2026, Budapest Public Services Company (BKM), in partnership with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, launched a feasibility study to explore the delivery of thermal energy from the Paks Nuclear Power Plant to the city's district heating system via a hot-water pipeline of approximately 125 kilometers. The study focuses on the technical, economic, and construction feasibility of the project. The Paks Nuclear Power Plant is located about 100 kilometers from the capital, and the current heat load of Budapest's district heating system is approximately 100 MWth in summer, peaking at 1,000 MWth in winter. The core significance of this concept lies not only in providing a low-carbon heat source for the city but also in improving the efficiency of waste heat utilization at the nuclear power plant. The Paks Nuclear Power Plant currently...
