BEIJING, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has been actively serving the development of clean energy and promoting green transformation of energy in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality in recent years.
As of the end of July this year, a total of 6,612 households have been connected to the grid with distributed photovoltaic, with an installed capacity of 1,383,300 kilowatts, showing a rapid year-on-year increase.

To realize the supportive function of new energy development toward promoting rural revitalization and industrial development, the power company has made extensive efforts on power grid services and electrification transformation.
By deploying photovoltaic panels on top of agricultural facilities, farmers are able to earn extra benefits through development of new energy.
For instance, a breeding farm, located in Baojiasi Village of Xingyi Town in Fengdu County of Chongqing, has developed typical application scenario for combined development of photovoltaic power generation, power storage and livestock breeding.
With a 60-kilowatt photovoltaic facility laid above the shed of the pig farm, daily electricity demand of the breeding farm can be met. Calculating on the basis of 800 hours of effective annual sunlight in Fengdu County, yearly photovoltaic power generation capacity of the breeding farm exceeds 40,000 kWh, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 35 tonnes, realizing low-carbon development.
