First floating solar power station launches in major milestone
The Hobrazian government ministers today attended the launch of Hobrazia's first floating solar power station in a major step forward in Hobrazia's Net Zero ambitions, speaking in a press conference after the launch president Sophie Toreli told Hobrazian media how this will deliver greater energy security and lower energy prices. She criticised the opposition and other nations for not doing enough, saying that the biggest emitters must play their part in the net zero transition. However her government has also faced criticism from environmental campaigners for weakening environmental laws and for putting economic growth before environmental interests.
Sophie Toreli, President of the Hobrazian Republic

Our government is delivering on our Net Zero ambitions today. We have just launched the First ever floating solar power station in Hobrazia, we have invested a record 20 million HCR in this project for several years showing our commitment to renewable energy. This will lower your energy prices, by saving 300 HCR a year on your electricity bills. However Hobrazia is not the biggest emitter, other nations who emit the most are not doing their part to reduce their emissions, we call on them to go further, we need bolder action and better leadership.

Sergei Aslanishvili, Political Editor of the Hobrazian Times

You say that your government is taking action, however critics say that you led the climate change bill through the national assembly and have weakened environmental laws, they say this government is not doing enough. What do you say to your critics?

Sophie Toreli, President of the Hobrazian Republic

This government is taking bold action to deliver on our environmental commitments, we are also delivering greater domestic energy security this is good for our economy, the Hobrazian economy is booming once again because of this governments bold action. When I came into office I sought better leadership we still have work to do but we have a clear plan to deliver it. The opposition parties only seek to disunite the Hobrazian people whilst the infinite party seeks to unite the Hobrazian people.

Improved economic outlook for the Hobrazian Republic

In a brighter outlook for Hobrazia's economy, economic growth forecasts have improved with the government now forecasting an average annual 5.2% increase in real GDP, this has been partly due to the increase in exports following the recent trade deals signed with Beiteynu, Luthori and Badara, more liberal FDI policies and domestic consumption increasing by 8% the government claims this increased consumption is due to their sales tax cuts with the minister of finance saying that the plan is working. The CEO of the esteemed DarVani Auto, the luxury auto manufacturer says that their sales have reached record high levels reflecting the increased incomes of Hobrazian consumers and an increased willingness to spend on luxury cars. Business leaders are expecting this trend to continue in the years ahead and are planning to increase their supply chain capacity. Speaking exclusively to the Hobrazian Times he explained how he is launching an entry into the Badara and Luthorian market, in a massive expansion of its operations.
