Zhengtong New Energy has announced the construction of a new energy project in the Xinjiang region, specifically focusing on a large-scale integrated renewable energy project. The project is set to be operational by March 20, 2025, and is located in the Hami city area, which is known for its abundant solar energy resources.
The project, titled “Green Energy + Storage”, will integrate solar power generation capabilities. It aims to achieve a total installed capacity of 1,000 MW, with 900 MW allocated to a solar power station. The facility is expected to connect to the grid and begin electricity generation by December 22, 2024. Additionally, the project will include a 100 MW solar energy storage station, which is anticipated to start operations by June 2025.
Utilizing the advanced ASTRO N series technology, this project will provide 417 MW using ASTRO N5 components, marking it as the largest supply of such components for any project to date. The “Green Energy + Storage” initiative is poised to be a significant application of green energy technology within China, representing a crucial step towards achieving gigawatt-level deployments in the renewable energy sector.
The solar energy generated will be stored and utilized effectively, ensuring that the electricity supply meets the demands of approximately 800,000 households annually, fulfilling an estimated 18.6 billion kWh per year. This project will not only enhance the reliability of energy supply but also contribute to reducing carbon emissions significantly, aligning with China’s sustainability goals.
As the project progresses, it is expected to play a pivotal role in stabilizing the energy supply and addressing challenges in the new energy sector. The integration of renewable energy sources will enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the overall energy system in the region.
In conclusion, the “Green Energy + Storage” project represents a major advancement in the deployment of renewable energy in China, aiming to establish a robust and sustainable energy network that responds effectively to the growing energy demands.
