The largest rooftop distributed photovoltaic project in Guangdong has successfully connected to the grid for full capacity generation. On April 1, the photovoltaic power generation project in Area A of the Foshan Lecong Steel World, built by the China Water Resources and Hydropower Seventh Engineering Bureau, officially commenced grid-connected power generation. This milestone marks the operational launch of Guangdong’s largest rooftop distributed photovoltaic project.
Located in Lecong Town, Shunde District of Foshan City, Guangdong Province, the Foshan Lecong Steel World distributed photovoltaic project covers a total construction area of approximately 950,000 square meters and has a total installed capacity of about 100 megawatts. It is expected to generate more than 120 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. The produced “green electricity” is projected to reduce energy consumption and emissions equivalent to approximately 489,600 tons of standard coal, cutting down carbon dioxide emissions by around 161,700 tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by about 36,900 tons, nitrogen oxides by approximately 24,100 tons, and dust emissions by about 6,400 tons.
The Area A project spans roughly 220,000 square meters with an installed capacity of about 21 megawatts, utilizing 590-watt monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules. Through comprehensive quality management and strict adherence to timelines, the project was completed in just 120 days, promoting the “photovoltaic + metal” model and transforming rooftops into power stations. After its launch, the project is expected to generate an average annual electricity output of approximately 22 million kilowatt-hours, continuously supplying “green electricity” to the local area and contributing to the optimization of energy distribution and the transition to a cleaner, low-carbon energy system.
The A Area project is funded and constructed by China Water Resources and Hydropower Seventh Engineering Bureau, in partnership with South Power Grid Integrated Energy Co., Ltd. and China Energy Engineering Group (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.. This joint venture focuses on projects related to clean energy, integrated energy solutions, and energy conservation, aiming to invest in, construct, and operate innovative energy solutions through integrated, intelligent, and precise energy technologies.
