Published

on

TAIPEI, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HD Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 6873, “HDRE”), an international smart energy company, has participated in Japan’s Long-Term Decarbonization Power Source Auction (LTDA) for the third consecutive year. In the latest auction results, HDRE secured 160MW of lithium-ion battery storage capacity.

Since entering Japan’s capacity market in 2023, HDRE has increased its cumulative awarded capacity under the LTDA to around 560MW. The LTDA provides awarded projects with fixed capacity revenues for up to 20 years, supporting HDRE’s development of a long-term overseas asset portfolio.

In this year’s LTDA results, total awarded capacity for lithium-ion battery storage was 552MW. HDRE’s awarded capacity accounted for nearly 30% of the total. HDRE first secured 100MW in the initial results announced in 2024, and expanded its awarded capacity to 300MW in the results announced in 2025. The two newly awarded battery storage projects are located in Kagoshima and Miyagi prefectures, and are expected to combine capacity market revenues with power market operations to support a long-term revenue structure.

As HDRE expands across Taiwan, Japan and Australia, the company aims to build a global pipeline of 9.4GW by 2029, including projects under development and planning. HDRE will focus on three growth strategies: long-term contracts, power services, and integration with AI computing-related supply chains, to support long-term earnings growth.

Japan has become one of HDRE’s key overseas markets. The company targets 3.4GW of project pipeline in Japan by 2029. HDRE will focus on battery storage projects while strengthening its capabilities in power finance and market trading.

In 2026, HDRE plans to advance several initiatives in Japan, including a 340MW battery storage operation and long-term offtake collaboration with Tokyo Gas, a 300MW battery storage collaboration between subsidiary Star Trade Japan and Chubu Electric Power Miraiz to reduce electricity price fluctuation risks, and project financing completion for the 50MW Helios BESS in Hokkaido.

In Australia, HDRE’s battery storage and solar projects are moving from development toward construction and operation, with a pipeline of 2.7GW by 2029. The company will pursue capacity revenue opportunities supported by government schemes such as the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) and the Firm Energy Reliability Mechanism (FERM). In Taiwan, HDRE has a 3.3GW pipeline and will continue to expand its asset base while applying experience from Japan and Australia to develop global energy assets and power service businesses.

Tokenized Cash Management Advisory Group Publishes the Scope of Its Work Program

Published

on

By

The practitioner-led group sets out the use cases, participants, and capabilities required to take tokenized cash management from pilots into production.

LONDON and NEW YORK, June 10, 2026 /CNW/ — The Tokenized Cash Management Advisory Group (TCMAG) today published the scope of its work program: the priority use cases, the participants required to deliver them, and the capabilities each must provide to move tokenized cash management beyond pilots and into production.

TCMAG was formed as a group of corporate treasury practitioners to guide the adoption of tokenization in cash management. In April it published twelve core principles for digital money. The work program published today is the next step, translating those principles into a concrete agenda built around the requirements of the corporate treasurer.

Darsh Johal, Chair of TCMAG, said, “The success of tokenized cash management depends on a diverse group of players weaving their capabilities into an integrated whole. By defining that scope now, we give the industry the opportunity to hit the mark as an alternative to a series of stand-alone pilots. Our twelve principles have set the standard and outlined the requirements for corporate treasurers. The work program we are publishing today turns this into a shared agenda that the whole industry can build against.”

The priority use cases
The work program is organized around the everyday workflows of the corporate treasurer:

Tokenized Money Vendor Payments. A corporate pays a vendor in tokenized money from its ERP; the payment is converted back to fiat and credited to the receiving corporate.Tokenized Money Receipts. A corporate receives tokenized money from different issuers and chains; each is converted to cash and credited at par value.Inter-Company Sweeping. A corporate HQ uses its treasury management system (TMS) to sweep excess tokenized balances from subsidiaries into a central wallet.Subscription and Redemption into Tokenized Money Market Funds. Excess balances are deployed 24/7 into tokenized MMFs to optimize yield on idle liquidity.Interoperability of Tokenized Money. Instruments from different issuers and chains are made fungible through redemption at par into cash, letting a corporate receive one instrument and pay in another.Agentic Payment. A corporate AI agent initiates and settles payments on-chain within pre-defined spending mandates, without human approval at execution.

The participants and capabilities required
The use cases depend on co-ordination of participants. The program defines the capabilities each must provide:

Wallet and custody providers: multi-chain wallets and segregated custody per corporate.Issuers: issuance across multiple chains, with programmable token controls.Chains: connection to wallets and settlement venues, with privacy and performance where required.Instruments: tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and tokenized MMFs.ERP and TMS platforms: connectivity to wallets and chains, on-chain instruction and sweeps, and real-time reconciliation.Messaging platforms: standardized formats bridging traditional rails such as SWIFT and blockchain-native layers.Banks and custodians: issuance or distribution of tokenized money, and on/off-ramps between fiat and tokenized instruments.Identity providers: reusable digital identity, with KYC and AML credentials recognized across issuers and chains.Corporates: connectivity to wallets and issuers, and participation in end-to-end demonstrations.Clearing and settlement platforms: minting, redemption, and conversion of tokens and cash at par value, 24/7 and in near real time.

Each use case will be assessed against TCMAG’s twelve principles, so that compliance, settlement finality, and operational resilience are built in from the start.

A call to action
For treasury practitioners. Corporate treasurers are invited to join, to bring their real-world requirements, and to shape the use cases so that what the industry builds reflects how treasury operates.

For the wider ecosystem. The work program calls on each of the participants set out above – chains, issuers, wallet providers and custodians, banks, identity providers, and ERP and TMS platforms – to step forward and commit the capabilities described.

TCMAG will continue to develop the work program with practitioners and solution providers, and welcomes participants across the ecosystem to help co-create the future of tokenized corporate treasury.

Notes to Editors:
About TCMAG: The Tokenized Cash Management Advisory Group is a neutral and independent group of treasury practitioners who wish to positively influence the adoption of new forms of digital money in line with corporate treasury requirements. For more information please visit tcmag.org.

DMEGC Solar to Unveil Next-Generation PV Modules at Intersolar Europe 2026

Published

on

By

JINHUA, China, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DMEGC Solar, a global Tier 1 solar manufacturer, has announced its participation in this year’s Intersolar Europe, where it will present its next generation of module products—the INFINITY RT 3.0 at the upcoming event.

The evolution of the INFINITY RT series is clearly reflected in its increasing power output and efficiency ratings. The utility module G12RT-B66 has already reached a mass-production power output of 650W earlier this year, marking an increase of at least 15W compared to the 635W of its 2.0 version. DMEGC attributes this progress primarily to the adoption of advanced high-density encapsulation technology, which significantly increases the active cell area within the module. This not only boosts power output but also enhances the module’s appearance by reducing gaps between cells and frames, delivering a more seamless and consistent visual experience.

The same technology has been applied to the INFINITY 3.0 modules for residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications. The all-black module G12RT-G48HBB, enhanced by DMEGC’s proprietary ABT technology, continues the company’s success in the residential market with a maximum power output of 485W. Another residential module, the G12RT-G48HBW-Extreme, offers superior durability with an HW5 rating, meaning it can withstand hailstorms of 50 mm ice balls at 111 km/h and extreme snow loads of up to 8100 Pa. On the C&I side, the power output of the G12RT-B54HBT module rises to a maximum of 530W. All INFINITY RT 3.0 modules maintain high reliability and perform even better in extended stress tests compared to their predecessors and competing products.

At least one module from the Agri-PV and Greenhouse family will be on display. The 420W G12RT-B44HST stands out with its 33% light transmittance, striking an optimal balance between solar power generation and crop growth. Other models in the series offer light transmittance options ranging from 3% to 48%. Also featured is an installer-friendly module, which is considerably smaller and lighter than conventional modules, enabling an easier and safer installation experience for workers and ensuring compatibility with repowering projects.

With strong momentum and cumulative global shipments exceeding 80GW, DMEGC Solar continues to solidify its position as an innovator and a responsible player in the global solar industry. Most recently, it has retained its position on the BloombergNEF Global Tier 1 PV Module Manufacturers List for Q2 2026.
