BLUETTI Announces Essential Safety Guidelines for Dealing with Unexpected Power Outages

SYDNEY, AU, Sep 15, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Nino conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific for the first time in seven years, making Australia more vulnerable to frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters such as bushfires and floods. Last year, for example, Australia experienced four major floods and had losses totaling $11.7 billion, according to global reinsurance company Munich Re.



While we can't prevent these events, we can certainly mitigate their impact, especially when it comes to the power outages that inevitably follow. BLUETTI, a pioneering name in power storage solutions, offers crucial safety tips to help you and your loved ones prepare for and cope with sudden power loss during these trying times.

How to Prepare Before Natural Disasters

Natural disasters can strike suddenly, leaving little time for preparation. However, taking proactive steps in advance can significantly enhance your safety. Here's how you can prepare:

1. Stay Informed: Stay abreast of weather forecasts and local disaster risk assessments through trusted sources such as local news media, emergency management agencies, and official social media channels. Sign up for emergency alerts and notifications from your local government to receive accurate and timely information. Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes and community gathering points to ensure swift action when needed.

2. Prepare an Emergency Kit: Assemble a well-stocked kit containing nonperishable food, drinking water, medications, first aid supplies, a flashlight, batteries, a battery-powered radio, and essential documents. For those heavily reliant on electronic devices, consider adding BLUETTI's portable power stations, like EB3A, AC60, and EB70) to your kit. These multi-outlet handy power stations ensure you an stay connected and powered up, enabling you to receive official notices and maintain communication.

3. Develop an Emergency Plan: Natural disasters, like earthquakes, can strike suddenly and without warning. Don't leave anything to chance. Craft a comprehensive evacuation plan for your family, including multiple evacuation routes and a designated meeting place away from danger. Regularly practice these plans to ensure everyone knows their roles. Remember to include your furry family members in your plans.

4. Prepare a Home Backup Power Source: Following natural disasters such as wildfires or ice storms, you can expect prolonged outages lasting days or even weeks due to disrupted power grids. It is very important to prepare a powerful home backup power supply in advance. BLUETTI's AC300+B300 and EP500Pro power solutions offer seamless 24/7 UPS backup protection from power outages, keeping your home running as usual.

The AC300+B300 modular system, with a capacity ranging from 3,072Wh to 12,288Wh and a powerful 3,000W output, can power all your household appliances, including lights, fridges for fresh food, heating system for warmth, and CPAP machines for normal use. Plus, it can be charged at 2,400W via solar panels to ensure long-term power availability. Pairing it with two or three BLUETTI PV200 folding solar panels, an AC300+B300 combo can be topped up in 8 or 6 hours. BLUETTI is currently offering great savings on the AC300 and its bundles. An AC300+B300 combo is now $4,998, plus an extra $99 for a free PV350 solar panel (Originally priced at $1,299).

If you need a mobile, all-in-one home backup power source, the EP500Pro is your best choice, featuring a 5,100Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 3,000W pure sine wave inverter. Four smooth wheels on the bottom allow it to move freely around the house to power your devices. It also supports 1,200W solar charging, using 3 pieces of PV350 solar panels that could fully charge EP500Pro in 6 hours. Now, BLUETTI is discounting the EP500Pro+PV350 bundle for $6,299 to help you protect your home from losing power.

What to Do During Natural Disasters

When a natural disaster strikes, your safety and well-being are paramount. Here are practical steps to help you navigate the challenges:

Stay Informed and Calm: Keep your communication devices, like phones and radios, fully charged to stay informed about the situation. Staying calm is essential for making rational decisions.

Follow official instructions: If officials issue a shelter-in-place order, do as they say. Gather family members in a safe room away from windows and exterior walls. If ordered to evacuate, leave the area as directed and take your prepackaged supplies, including your BLUETTI backup power source, to sustain you for several days. Do not attempt to return until it is officially declared safe.

What to Do After Natural Disasters

As the disaster subsides, the aftermath can be just as challenging. Here's how to navigate the aftermath effectively:

Check for Safety: Assess your surroundings for potential hazards. If you need to venture outside, be cautious of downed power lines, debris, and unstable structures.

Document Damage: Take photographs of any damage to your property. This documentation will be essential for insurance claims and government assistance applications.

Stay Updated: Continue to follow local news, social media, and official announcements for recovery efforts, emergency shelters, and relief distribution points.

Natural disasters bring challenges, but with careful preparation and the right tools, you can minimize their impact on your life. BLUETTI's innovative power solutions, such as the AC300+B300 and EP500Pro, equip you with the means to stay connected, powered, and resilient during and after these hard times.

ASEAN AIPF Opened by President, PLN Presents Green Enabling Supergrid

JAKARTA, Sep 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The ASEAN-Indo-Pacific Forum (AIPF), a flagship event of the 43rd ASEAN Summit, was officially opened by President Jokowi on Tuesday, Sept 5. On the occasion, PLN PD Darmawan Prasodjo emphasized the commitment to achieving Net Zero Emission by 2060 and accelerating the development of renewable energy and the green enabling ASEAN Power Grid project.

"AIPF has specific agenda of building green infrastructure and resilient supply chains through industrial downstreaming. The development of the electric vehicle ecosystem is a concrete example of regional supply chain development," President Jokowi said.

State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Minister Erick Thohir said the AIPF is a part of the Indonesian government's efforts to build cooperation at the Asia-Pacific regional level to encourage sustainable economic development.

"The Government of Indonesia, through State-Owned Enterprises, is actively cooperating with global partners. This includes forming strategic alliances to build electric vehicle battery supply chains, expand cross-country interconnectivity, and participate in regional infrastructure development," Erick said.

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said the focus at AIPF was cooperation between countries and private sectors to realize the ASEAN mission in the interconnection of electricity systems. PLN is currently building a green enabling supergrid equipped with smartgrid and flexible generations.

Thus far, PLN has agreements for the ASEAN power grid with two Malaysian power companies: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd, to develop the Kalimantan-Sabah interconnection, and Tenaga Nasional Bhd, to develop the Sumatra-Semenanjung Malaysia interconnection. The agreements were signed at 41st ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) and ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) in Bali last August 25.

"We believe that the big dream of the ASEAN Power Grid can bring prosperity to Southeast Asian countries. This dream can certainly be achieved through collaboration," Darmawan said. "The Green Enabling Supergrid is an effeort balance the renewable energy scattered in Sumatra and Kalimantan, and the the demand center in Java. It will revive the region by creating a new economic epicenter.

"PLN supports the government's move to become an initiator in energy transition in the APAC community. The construction of Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant is proof of Indonesia's commitment to developing more environmentally friendly energy sources. It also shows that PLN is able to present attractive investment cooperation schemes so as to encourage investor interest in developing renewable energy projects in other regions," said Darmawan.

The Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant with a capacity of 192 MWp, by PLN in collaboration with the UAE renewable energy company Masdar, is currently entering the finalization process. The plant, which occupies an area of 200 hectares, will produce 245 million kWh of energy per year and can supply electricity equivalent to 50,000 households.

About PLN
PT PLN (Persero) is a state-owned electricity company that continues to be committed and innovative in carrying out a mission to illuminate and move the nation. With a vision to become a leading electricity company in Southeast Asia, PLN is moving towards becoming the number one choice for energy solutions. See https://www.pln.co.id.

TANAKA Precious Metals to Establish Global Recycling Network, Promoting Worldwide Recycling of Precious Metals

TOKYO, Aug 31, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K., a core company of TANAKA Precious Metals Group, announced it has launched regional business strategies towards establishing a Global Recycling Network, promoting the widespread recycling of precious metals.


"Global Recycle Network" Bases

Ya'an Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd.


The expansion will encourage recycling at TANAKA's main recovering and refining bases: Ichikawa Plant and Shonan Plant in Japan for Southeast Asia, Hukou Plant for Taiwan, Marin Plant (Switzerland) for Europe, and North Attleborough Plant (Mass, USA) for North America.

As part of this expansion, Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., a TANAKA affiliate company in China, will establish a new company, Ya'an Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., in Sichuan Province, scheduled to begin full-scale operations in summer 2024.

Of the approximate 5 billion yen investment to establish Ya'an Guangming Paite, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo will hold 40% through its share in Chengdu Guangming Paite. The new company will manufacture precious metal compounds for various catalysts and plating, and recover production scrap using TANAKA's precious metal recycling technology.

Precious Metals Recycling Business Development in China

Ideally, the precious metals business in China should be integrated, as in other countries, with recovery and refining together with the manufacture of industrial precious metals products. The cooperation between TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo and Chengdu Guangming Paite has allowed for limited integration, but much scrap goes unrecovered.

Ya'an Guangming Paite will introduce the recycling process that TANAKA has developed over many years in Japan, to establish a process capable of recovering scrap that was previously unrecoverable. Through the new company, TANAKA will establish a one-stop precious metal recycling system within China, further developing its precious metal recycling business.

TANAKA hopes to contribute to global sustainability by effectively limiting the precious metal resources utilized in various industries, and believes that precious metal recycling will help reduce the use of mined precious metals in industrial products, thereby helping to reduce environmental impact.

About Chengdu Guangming Paite

Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd. was established in 2008 as a Chinese-foreign joint venture by CDGM Glass Co., Ltd. and Pushan International Co., Ltd. In 2012, it became a joint venture between CDGM Glass and TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo, following an equity transfer from Pushan International, and in 2014 the ownership ratio became 60% CDGM Glass and 40% TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo. It is engaged in the manufacture and sales of precious metal industry products and the precious metal recycling business in China.

About TANAKA Precious Metals

Since its foundation in 1885, TANAKA Precious Metals has built a portfolio of products to support a diversified range of business uses focused on precious metals. TANAKA is the leader in Japan in volumes of precious metals handled. TANAKA has not only manufactured and sold precious metal products for industry but also provided precious metals in such forms as jewelry and assets. As precious metals specialists, all Group companies in Japan and around the world collaborate and cooperate on manufacturing, sales, and technology development to offer a full range of products and services. With 5,355 employees, group sales for the year ending March 31, 2023, was 680 billion yen ($4.6 billion).
