US: Major Power Outage Leaves Thousands in Dark in San Francisco 5

A major power outage hit San Francisco on Saturday evening, December 20, at its peak affecting about 124,000 customers. Power was gradually restored, reducing the number of affected customers to around 24,000 by early Sunday morning. Large parts of the northern and western areas of the city were left in darkness, forcing store and transit closures and suspending Waymo’s driverless taxi service. The cause remains unclear, though a fire at a PG&E substation may have contributed, and the outage also disrupted public transportation and communications.

China Invests In Wind Power Project - De Aar

China Invests In Wind Power Project - De Aar

An aerial photo taken on Oct. 22, 2025 shows a substation and wind turbines of De Aar Wind Power Project in De Aar, Northern Cape, South Africa. To bolster Africa's green development, China has assisted countries in constructing several clean energy projects. The De Aar Wind Farm has changed South Africa's energy landscape. As the first wind power project financed, constructed and operated by a Chinese company in Africa, it supplies 760 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the electricity needs of 300,000 households. The farm has contributed to closing the gap caused by unstable clean energy and addressing the electricity shortage in South Africa. Photo by Han Xu/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

China Completes 750-kV Power Transmission Loop

- Technicians test the equipment temperature at the Ruoqiang 750-kilovolt substation of the 750-kilovolt transmission and transformation project around the Tarim Basin in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, June 27, 2025. China has finished construction of a 4,197-km extra-high voltage power transmission loop around the Tarim Basin, home to the country's largest desert, marking a major infrastructure milestone in southern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The final section of the 750-kilovolt (kV) loop, now the country's largest of its kind, was connected on Sunday, capping a 15-year project involving nine substations and nearly 10,000 steel towers, according to a subsidiary of State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd., which constructed the project.
