-- 標普全球評級週一發布報告稱，鑑於當前油價衝擊，中國對低碳能源的長期投資正在取得成效。 標普表示，目前非化石能源發電量佔中國總發電量的40%。 該評級機構指出，在經歷了最初的過度投資和規模化發展階段後，該行業正轉向更嚴格的成本控制和更高的獲利目標。 標普信用分析師Christopher Yip表示，鑑於電網建設落後於再生能源裝置容量的成長，平衡產能與需求將是該產業下一階段的主要挑戰。 同時，該分析師指出，再生能源發電量超過需求的地區將面臨限電風險。 標普表示，能夠優化交易策略或透過更完善的電網系統進行配電的生產商應該能夠度過這個更具挑戰性的階段。 標普表示，以太陽能和風能發電以及電網基礎設施為基礎的完整供應鏈將有助於降低中國本土企業的成本，使其低於全球同業。

Update: EU Proposes Measures to Open Google's Android to Rival AI Services
(Updates with Google's comment in 5th, 6th and 7th paragraph.)The European Commission on Monday proposed measures that would require Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google to open its Android ecosystem to rival AI services and launched a public consultation under the Digital Markets Act.The commission said its preliminary findings outline steps Google should take to ensure third-party AI services can access key Android capabilities and interact with applications on users' devices.The measures would allow competing AI tools to perform tasks such as sending emails, ordering services or sharing photos, which are functions currently largely reserved for Google's own AI offerings, the commission said in a statement."Today's proposed measures will give more choice to Android users about the AI services they use and integrate in their phone," Teresa Ribera, an EU executive vice president, said in the statement.Clare Kelly, Senior Competition Counsel at Google, said Android's ecosystem allows AI assistants to grow, as device makers can freely integrate and tailor AI experiences for their users."This unwarranted intervention would strip away that autonomy, mandate access to sensitive hardware and device permissions; unnecessarily driving up costs while undermining critical privacy and security protections for European users." Kelly added in an emailed statement to.Kelly also said the EC's proposals and the current memory crisis will drive up device prices by 50 euros to 100 euros this year.The commission invited interested parties to submit feedback by May 13.Price: $349.84, Change: $+7.52, Percent Change: +2.20%
