Supporting power-sector decarbonization, grid resilience, and low-carbon fuels across ASEAN

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) showcased three energy transition solutions under the theme “Powering the Archipelago” at Enlit Asia 2026, held Sept. 22-24 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

As the premier annual platform for the ASEAN power sector, Enlit Asia attracts more than 11,000 attendees and 280 exhibitors, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to explore advances, share insights and shape the region’s energy future.

Three Solutions for ASEAN’s Energy Transition

Tailored to the ASEAN market, the three solutions address key regional energy transition needs, including reducing carbon emissions from existing thermal power systems, enhancing renewable energy integration and stable operation of island grids, and providing low-carbon fuels for the shipping and aviation industries.

The High-Efficiency Power & Decarbonization solution is designed to help markets like Indonesia reduce power-system carbon intensity, spanning unit upgrades, fuel transition, and system optimization. Modular steam turbines for H- and F-class combined-cycle systems meet both power and heating needs while improving efficiency and reducing overall costs. Heavy-duty gas turbines can operate with up to 30% hydrogen blending, and coal-fired power retrofit solutions improve thermal efficiency and reduce coal consumption for lower-carbon operation.

The Grid Modernization & Resilience Upgrade solution addresses island-grid challenges in renewable energy integration, frequency regulation and voltage stability. It combines synchronous condensers, flywheels, multi-technology energy storage and integrated solar-storage power pods. Synchronous condensers and flywheels deliver rapid frequency response and inertia support; multi-technology storage covers short- to long-duration applications; and the power pods provide plug-and-play clean emergency power for remote areas and critical loads.

Building on the Jilin Taonan project, the full-chain Power-to-X Integrated Solutions cover wind and solar generation, green hydrogen, biomass gasification, and green methanol synthesis. The project has completed 8,000 tons of green methanol bunkering, a global single-bunkering record. Phase II, launched on August 20, 2026, targets 200,000 tons of green methanol and 10,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually. Shanghai Electric is now extending these solutions to ASEAN’s shipping and aviation markets to support low-carbon fuel supply and shipping decarbonization.

Local Presence, Regional Impact

Shanghai Electric’s technologies and system solutions are supported by an established regional track record. Its energy equipment and services are deployed in Southeast Asian markets including Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, with representative projects such as the Indonesia Pelabuhan Ratu 3 x 350 MW Coal-fired Power Station Project, the renewable energy plant in Selangor, Malaysia, and the recent Samalaju 500 MW-class combined-cycle gas power project in Sarawak, Malaysia.

These projects demonstrate the company’s integrated capabilities across traditional power upgrades, high-efficiency gas generation, renewable energy, and green fuels—laying a foundation for the three solutions’ further application in ASEAN.

During Enlit Asia 2026, Shanghai Electric also participated in the official conference agenda, delivering a technical presentation titled “Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Technology for Clean, Efficient, and Smart Power Generation,” outlining its technology roadmap and regionally adapted solutions in heavy-duty gas turbines and combined-cycle systems. The company also hosted multiple roadshows and exchange activities, inviting representatives from PLN, Indonesia’s national electricity company, local customers, and academics in the energy sector to discuss fuel diversification and the development of Indonesia’s power system.

Looking ahead, Shanghai Electric will continue to draw on its energy equipment manufacturing and system solution capabilities to work with ASEAN partners and support the transition to more efficient, stable and lower-carbon energy systems across Southeast Asia.

JustMarkets: How Browser-Based Trading Is Changing Access to Global CFD Markets

Published

September 23, 2026

By

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JustMarkets today showcased its browser-based CFD trading platform, offering traders direct, installation-free access to global CFD markets. As more traders move between devices, this web-based solution allows users to execute Contracts for Difference (CFD) operations directly from any web browser.

Trading Without Installation

The use of browser-based trading software may remove a common obstacle to market participation — installation. Traders do not need to download any software, configure the device, or rely on a single computer for their trading activities.

Users who trade in different places and use different devices may benefit most from browser-based platforms. The software becomes more accessible to traders who need quick access to charts and quotes.

Faster Access When Markets Move

CFD markets globally can respond swiftly to macroeconomic figures, central bank announcements, earnings news, commodity price fluctuations, and other geopolitical events.

JustMarkets’ web-based solution allows traders to respond to these events without the delay of installing software. While this cannot eliminate trading risk, it may improve the convenience of market access.

One Platform for Multiple CFD Markets

For CFD trading, browser-based trading terminals may be helpful, regardless of the asset class the trader uses. From forex and commodities to indices, stocks, and cryptocurrency CFDs, the trader can track multiple markets on a single online platform. It is particularly relevant in cases where traders monitor more than one instrument at a time or develop strategies based on overall market sentiment.

Simplicity for Everyday Trading

Not all traders require a complicated trading system for every decision they make. Often, what is needed are simple charts, live quotes, account details, and the ability to execute trades efficiently.

The JustMarkets web interface provides these core features through an uncomplicated web platform. New traders may find the platform easy to use, while experienced traders can use the web terminal to trade from wherever they happen to be.

Flexibility as the New Standard

Trading through the browser is part of a broader trend towards multiplatform trading. Traders are beginning to require greater flexibility in how they can access the market, including via desktop, mobile application, or the web.

However, the objective is not to replace other forms of trading altogether; rather, it is to provide greater flexibility to trade at a client’s convenience. For traders who require market access without an installation process, web-based trading offers an alternative platform.

Browser-Based Access Is Becoming Part of the Trader’s Routine

With an increasing number of traders moving across different platforms and seeking to trade faster in the global market, it is quite natural for web-based platforms to form part of the trading experience. JustMarkets has built its platform ecosystem with the provision of CFD instruments via platforms suited to various routines, ranging from desktop and mobile to browser-based platforms.

For the trader, the potential benefits include fewer technical steps, access to charting and order placement, and added convenience when following the forex, commodity, index, stock, and crypto CFD markets.

About JustMarkets

JustMarkets is a global financial CFD trading platform designed to eliminate technical “noise,” enabling investors to focus on what matters most: making accurate decisions. With modern infrastructure and professional services, JustMarkets serves as a reliable partner for CFD traders.

Risk Warning

Trading CFDs involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs are leveraged products and can result in rapid financial loss. Leverage increases market exposure and the potential for losses. Ensure you understand the risks involved before trading.
