Does Yunnan have a photovoltaic project?

KUNMING, Feb. 27 -- Southwest China's Yunnan Province on Monday inked photovoltaic project deals with a total generation capacity of 10 gigawatts in a green drive to alleviate its power supply shortage.

Where does Yunnan rank in centralized photovoltaic installations?

According to data released by the National Energy Administration, in the first half of the year, Yunnan province ranked third in the country for the scale of its newly added centralized photovoltaic (PV) installations connected to the grid.

How much green power will Yunnan Province produce a year?

The first batch of 64 projects, with a total installed capacity of 4 gigawatts, will involve an investment of nearly 20 billion yuan. This first batch of projects, scheduled to be connected to the grid within the year, will provide 5.2 billion kilowatt-hours of green power to Yunnan Province every year after going into operation.

Why are Yunnan energy projects important?

Hu Jun, chairman of Yunnan Provincial Energy Investment Group, said that these projects are of great significance to gradually alleviating the power supply shortage in Yunnan and accelerating the new energy business growth of provincial enterprises.

Why is it important to assess photovoltaic power generation potential in China?

Clear spatial dislocations between PV power generation potential and population distribution and electricity demand. Accurate assessment of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential in China is important for the reduction of carbon emission intensity and the achievement of the goal of Carbon Neutral.

Where is solar power generated in China?

Fig. 2. Spatial distribution of annual theoretical power generation of China in 2015. The results of theoretical PV power generation show that the high-value areas are mainly concentrated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, followed by Northwest China and Yunnan, where are rich in solar radiation resources.
