On August 3, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Power System." The plan proposes to enhance power supply security to meet the high-reliability power supply needs of various computing facilities. It calls for coordinating energy resource allocation with computing facility construction, and synergistically planning and deploying computing and power projects to promote computing through electricity and vice versa. It also advocates developing new models such as integrated power generation, grid, load, and storage systems, and direct green electricity connections based on computing facilities, to achieve aggregated trading and local consumption of green electricity, thereby increasing the proportion of green electricity generated by computing facilities. Finally, it emphasizes strengthening the recovery and utilization of waste heat resources from computing facilities.On August 3, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Power System." The plan proposes to improve the "1+N" basic rules system for the power market. It emphasizes strengthening the alignment and unification of local and national rules, improving the system for new entities to participate in the power market, continuously improving routine cross-grid trading, gradually reducing the scale of agency power purchases, improving the ancillary services market mechanism, exploring the construction of a capacity market mechanism, deepening the reform of the power pricing mechanism, promoting market-oriented reforms of on-grid tariffs for hydropower, nuclear power, and gas power, exploring the implementation of two-part or single-capacity transmission pricing for cross-provincial special projects, implementing pricing mechanisms to support the local consumption of new energy sources, improving the incentive and constraint mechanism for grid investment through transmission and distribution prices, studying relevant pricing mechanisms for offshore wind power transmission projects, optimizing the tiered pricing system for residential electricity, and promoting time-of-use pricing mechanisms for residential electricity.On August 3rd, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Power System," which outlines the scientific determination of the layout and construction sequence of coastal nuclear power bases by 2030. The plan promotes large-scale nuclear power construction and actively advances the research, demonstration, and application of next-generation nuclear power technologies. It also emphasizes reducing the cost of small modular reactors (SMRs) through multiple measures and strengthening the comprehensive utilization of nuclear energy and innovation in business models. By 2030, the installed capacity of nuclear power will reach approximately 110 million kilowatts. Furthermore, the plan promotes the large-scale development of concentrated solar power (CSP), develops biomass and geothermal power generation according to local conditions, and advances the large-scale utilization of ocean energy. By 2030, the installed capacity of power generation from biomass, CSP, geothermal, and ocean energy will reach approximately 65 million kilowatts.On August 3, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Power System." The plan aims to promote the construction and commissioning of hydropower projects in key river basins such as the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, the upper reaches of the Lancang River, the middle reaches of the Yalong River, and the Dadu River by 2030. It also aims to safely and orderly advance the construction of major projects such as the hydropower project in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The plan emphasizes strengthening the peak-load, regulation, and stability support capabilities of hydropower, and expanding the adjustable range and flexibility of power output. By 2030, the installed capacity of conventional hydropower will reach approximately 410 million kilowatts.Micron Technology (MU.O) fell 1.5% in pre-market trading.

GBP/JPY Nears 161.50 As Risk-On Sentiment Roughens The Waters

In the early hours of Monday's Asian session, GBP/JPY appreciated as Japanese Yen demand waned in response to rising liquidity optimism. Monday's improvement in risk appetite was the consequence of a global effort to end the liquidity crisis of the previous week.

 

In order to restore confidence in the financial system, several major central banks, including the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the Bank of England (BoE), have coordinated efforts to dilute the global banking ecosystem with US Dollars. This is the reason why the transition line has been implemented.

 

This swap line's principal source of financing is the Federal Reserve (Fed); the Fed will lend US Dollars to other central banks in exchange for local currency as a short-term loan. The exchange line will begin on Monday and continue through April.

 

Sunday, the Bank of England issued a statement welcoming the Swiss government's decision to merge Credit Suisse and UBS Group and reiterating that the UK banking system is adequately capitalized and funded. The Bank of England (BoE) will make a decision regarding interest rates on Thursday, and it will be crucial to observe their future direction. Given the ongoing liquidity crisis, this may be the last time the BoE raises interest rates.

 

March meeting of the Bank of Japan The previously released Summary of Opinions contains no new information, as the Federal Reserve has maintained an extremely permissive monetary stance for decades. In addition, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki stated on Monday that he was closely monitoring market movements in the wake of Credit Suisse Group's rescue agreement over the weekend.

 

This week, it is also crucial to monitor the liquidity situation, citing reports that two European banks are under close observation. Therefore, it is probable that upward advances in the GBP/JPY pair will continue to be fragile.
