BEIJING, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- CSUNPOWER, a Chinese clean energy solution provider, announced it had signed an EPC contract and an O&M contract for a 30MW solar power project with Asia Energy (Private) Ltd. on November 26.
Located in Punjab, Pakistan, the project is invested by Asia Energy and will be constructed by CSUNPOWER and the installation engineering company under CSCEC.
The project will be equipped with solar tracking system, 132 KV high voltage booster substation, and supervised by a German company, which can effectively guarantee the quality safety, progress and investment returns of the project.
The project is scheduled to start constructing in June next year, and complete by the end of 2019. Upon completion, the project will provide Pakistan with about 58,000,000 kwh of clean electricity a year and power 100,000 houses.
Due to the energy gap, the strengthening of policy support and the cost reduction, the photovoltaic market in Pakistan has great potential. Liu Yunzhou, CEO of CSUNPOWER, said: "Pakistan is an important market for the localization operation of CSUNPOWER. We will continue to innovate and upgrade our products and services to provide local customers with the best new energy solutions." (Edited by Yang Qi, kateqiyang@xinhua.org)
