SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Huawei has released a white paper on the Top 10 Site Power Trends at an event. According to Yao Quan, President of Huawei Site Power Facility Domain, 2022 was a challenging year for carriers due to the global energy crisis and the increase in oil and electricity prices. Against this backdrop, Huawei shares the top ten site power trends to help carriers reduce energy consumption and achieve carbon neutrality.
Trend 1: Energy Digitalization
With the global consensus on achieving carbon neutrality, the ICT sector has been striving to go green (Green ICT) and helping other sectors to do the same (ICT for Green). Huawei integrates digital technologies and power electronics technologies and lets bits manage watts, promoting the low-carbon transformation of the ICT and other sectors.
Trend 2: Low-Carbon Network
To achieve carbon neutrality, carriers seek to build a green and low-carbon network throughout the lifecycle, from network construction and power supply to operation.
Site structure is simplified by changing from equipment rooms and cabinets to poles. PV systems are installed on sites to reduce grid power consumption. Digitalization of sites helps perform intelligent O&M, reducing manual site visits. Sites with abnormal energy consumption and carbon emissions can be pinpointed in real-time, further reducing site O&M costs and carbon emissions.
Trend 3: Green Power Utilization
As new energy technologies develop and new business models emerge, site power supply becomes diversified, and clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen are utilized more. With the decreasing costs for clean energy, carriers will increase the proportion of self-built green power plants besides PPA.
Trend 4: Site Simplification
Conventional sites are often deployed in equipment rooms or cabinets, in which air conditioners consume a large amount of energy, causing low efficiency and high electricity fees. To address this, the trend is to simplify site structure by changing from rooms to cabinets and poles, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Trend 5: High Efficiency
Efficiency optimization is no longer confined to components. The focus changes from rectifiers to the link of generation, conversion, storage, distribution, and consumption. By deploying sites in cabinets or on poles, the SEE (Site Energy Efficiency) can be raised to 97%, and site footprint is also reduced. Additionally, energy devices and wireless devices are coordinated to implement precise energy efficiency management and energy consumption optimization.
Trend 6: Smart Sites
Conventional sites usually adopt dumb components that do not support refined management. Energy consumption and carbon emission of sites cannot be viewed, and energy saving and carbon reduction cannot be performed. Besides, site maintenance relies heavily on manual site visits, leading to high O&M costs. Smart site management and automatic O&M can address these issues by providing real-time energy efficiency and carbon emission data and improving site operation efficiency.
Trend 7: Telecom Sites to Shared Sites
Telecom sites have the potential to become shared sites, supplying power to the public and transforming telecom carriers into integrated service providers. Site service modes will become more diversified, offering new services such as virtual power plant (VPP), electricity access with the network, and rent offset with electricity to increase site revenues and unlock the value of telecom sites.
Trend 8: Multi-Mode Architecture
As more types of power sources are used, site power must be able to support different input modes. Shared sites also need to meet power supply requirements of different loads, requiring multi-mode output. Thus, the multi-mode architecture will become mainstream.
Trend 9: Power Backup + Energy Storage
In traditional telecom sites, energy storage only provides backup power for communications equipment. Now carriers start to develop new business models such as peak staggering and VPP. Energy storage participates in power grid scheduling. Site batteries develop from backup power to an integrated energy storage system.
Trend 10: Security and Reliability
For sites, security and reliability lie in network security and hardware safety. As energy digitalization gains momentum, governments and industries are working to prevent attacks and security risks. A series of security and safety specifications are released.

BEVERLY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Easterly Asset Management’s (Easterly) Maritime Logistics Equity Partners (MLEP), formed in 2021 to acquire maritime shipping assets, announced today that it has acquired four additional vessels through MLEP’s second chemical tanker investment tranche. This acquisition brings the MLEP fleet to 11 ships. The newly purchased vessels are all coated chemical tankers and become the largest chemical tankers in the MLEP fleet. The four new vessels are:
“The new MLEP acquisitions show the appeal of our focus on benefitting from the substantial dislocations and opportunities in international shipping markets by acquiring chemical tankers,” said Michael Collins, Managing Director, and Global Head of Distribution for Easterly Asset Management. “We have already seen with our first seven ships that the demand for such tankers has the potential to generate a high level of income for investors, and we continue to seek new investment opportunities in the shipping sector.”
Launched in September 2021, MLEP is seeking to take advantage of the limited supply and growing demand for chemical tankers, a low future orderbook for new ship construction, and increases in trade and day rates. In addition to the newly acquired four chemical tankers, MLEP already owns seven stainless steel and coated tankers:
Both of MLEP’s investment tranches are designed to capitalize on shortages in tanker capacity brought about by growing global demand for the transport of bulk liquids such as palm oil, molasses, feedstock and other commodities and the limited construction of vessels to provide such transport since the end of a construction boom in 2008. Since then, shipbuilders have concentrated on other types of much larger vessels. Also, rising steel and labor costs now have new ship construction costs at 12-year highs. Finally, pending new industry rules stemming from IMO 2030 regulatory changes are adding further uncertainty.
MLEP’s strategy is to take advantage of this supply/demand imbalance by acquiring 10–15-year-old tankers that still have years of productive life remaining. MLEP is putting these ships out for hire through WOMAR, one of the largest independent chemical tanker pool operators in the industry. All 11 of the MLEP vessels are now in WOMAR tanker pools.
“This is a unique investment opportunity in that it not only addresses a true market dislocation in a difficult-to-access and opaque sector, but also provides downside risk protection through residual scrap steel valuations at the end of the vessels’ lifespans,” said Collins. “Working with an experienced partner such as WOMAR helps to maximize our ability to generate returns for our investors.”
About Maritime Logistics Equity Partners
Maritime Logistics Equity Partners (MLEP) is a company formed to raise capital to take advantage of various opportunities in the international shipping markets. MLEP’s objective is to provide investors with an attractive level of regular, growing income and capital returns by investing in previously owned chemical tankers. MLEP expects a robust chemical tanker market due to a historically low order book, a lack of liquidity in the capital markets for new tankers, expanding ton-mile demand for chemical tankers and additional cargo coming online in 2023 and beyond. Investors gain exposure to MLEP through a private placement sponsored by Easterly Asset Management.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: MGY) announced preliminary fourth quarter 2022 estimated oil and gas production volumes in the range of 73 to 74 Mboe per day, compared to the midpoint of the Company’s earlier guidance of 78 Mboe per day.
Two factors led to the production variance compared to previous guidance. First, a single large pad was brought online later than expected during the fourth quarter 2022. This pad is currently fully operational and performing in line with expectations. Second, freezing temperatures impacted both Magnolia’s Karnes and Giddings assets during late December, resulting in some well shut-ins and facility downtime in both areas.
Despite the impact of these items in the fourth quarter, Magnolia’s production has since recovered with volumes currently exceeding 80 Mboe per day. The Company’s 2023 guidance remains unchanged, and Magnolia expects to generate full-year 2023 production growth of 10 percent compared to last year, at current product prices.
About Magnolia Oil & Gas

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM) (“Electra” or the “Company”) today announced it has signed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to a 2021 share purchase and option agreement with Kuya Silver Corporation (“Kuya”) relating to silver and cobalt exploration assets in the Canadian Cobalt Camp (the “Assets”).
Highlights of the Amended Agreement
“Our initial agreement with Kuya was designed to allow us to maximize shareholder value for our exploration assets in Ontario, given our primary focus on recommissioning North America’s first cobalt sulfate refinery,” said Trent Mell, Electra’s CEO. “Accelerating the terms of the initial agreement with Kuya allows us to focus on advancing our strategy of developing an integrated battery materials complex that combines the production of cobalt, nickel, and manganese sulfates with the recycling of battery black mass.”
Electra and Kuya first entered into a share purchase and option agreement on February 26, 2021 whereby Kuya acquired a 100 percent interest in the property package surrounding the Kerr Lake area for $4 million and an option to earn up to a 70 percent interest in Electra’s remaining assets for an additional $1 million. Under the original agreement, Kuya was required to make $1 million in additional payments and invest $4 million in exploration activities. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, Kuya will also be assuming management of any ongoing obligations and liabilities associated with the Assets.
The Cobalt Camp
Electra held the largest land package in the historic silver-cobalt mining camp of Cobalt, Ontario, with more than 10,000 hectares and over 50 past-producing mines, including some of the region’s largest high-grade silver producers. The Company conducted extensive exploration from 2017 to 2019 that included creating a proprietary 3D geological model based on digital compilation of historic mine workings, integrated with exploration drilling, geophysical data and surface bedrock geology maps.
Over 600 million ounces of silver and 50 million pounds of cobalt were mined in the district along with copper and nickel over a 60-year period. Discovered in 1903, silver production peaked between 1919 to 1931. Exceptionally high-grade vein-style, native silver mineralization was mined at up to 185 oz/t Ag (5,200 g/t Ag) from surface and underground.
About Kuya Silver Corporation
Kuya Silver is a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company with a focus on acquiring, exploring, and advancing precious metals in Peru and Canada.
About Electra Battery Materials
Electra is a processor of low-carbon, ethically-sourced battery materials.
