BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- The 100 million kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) industrial park in Fukang City has completed the installation of crystalline silicon panels, and is expected to be connected to the grid for power generation on November 30.
Located on the Gobi Desert of the Tudunzi Farm in Fukang, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, this industrial park is a key new energy project in Xinjiang.
"We conduct daily inspections of the temporary power supply box transformers and power lines in the industrial park. Now as we are in the final stage of construction, it is especially important to ensure safe power supply," said a staff member from State Grid Changji Power Supply Company.
The 600,000-kilowatt PV energy storage project in this industrial park started construction in June 2023, serving as a milestone of the company's efforts in clean energy.
Meanwhile, after the industrial park is connected to the grid, the average annual electricity generation during the operation of the power station is expected to reach about 2.5 billion kWh, which can save 1 million tons of standard coal each year and reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by about 20,000 tons annually.
State Grid Changji Power Supply Company has provided support for the initial work of industrial park construction, including promptly resolving electricity-related issues in process, formulating coordination plans, offering temporary power access for construction, and ensuring smooth connection to the grid.
