🚛 5. China Plans to Establish 900 Battery-Swapping Stations for Electric Trucks

CATL is expanding its battery-swapping infrastructure for heavy-duty electric trucks.

The company's new technology allows a truck battery to be replaced in approximately five minutes.

CATL plans to establish:

• 900 stations — by the end of 2026;
• 2,000 stations — in 2027;
• 10,000 stations — in the long term.

This technology aims to accelerate the electrification of heavy-duty transportation by significantly reducing downtime associated with battery charging.

💧 7. European Hydropower Generation Falls to a Decade Low

In the third quarter of 2026, European hydropower plants generated 84.8 TWh of electricity.

This represents a 13% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year and is the lowest third-quarter generation level since 2015.

The decline in hydropower generation highlights the growing importance of energy source diversification and electricity storage systems in ensuring a reliable power supply.

🇩🇪 8. Energy Storage Capacity in Germany Increases by 91%

During the first nine months of 2026, more than 500,000 new battery energy storage systems were commissioned in Germany.

Their combined energy storage capacity reached 8.2 GWh.

The large-scale BESS segment reached 3.8 GWh, demonstrating growth of approximately 350% compared with the same period of the previous year.

These figures indicate a rapid increase in Germany's investment in energy storage infrastructure.

🏠 9. Singapore Plans to Strengthen Energy Efficiency Requirements for Household Appliances

Singapore is proposing stricter energy efficiency requirements for household electrical appliances.

The updated regulatory framework provides for the expansion of mandatory energy labeling to include washing machines, fans, and dishwashers.

The proposed measures include:

• Introducing two-tier energy labels with QR codes;
• Expanding the Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme (MELS);
• Establishing Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for additional categories of household appliances;
• Phased implementation of the proposed requirements by 2028.

These measures aim to encourage the use of energy-efficient household appliances and reduce electricity consumption in households.
