The First Batch Of Wind And Solar Projects In The Clean Energy Base Downstream Of Jinsha River Are Fully Connected To The Grid At Full Capacity

On December 24th, the Luomian 100 MW photovoltaic power generation project located in Fumin County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, achieved full capacity grid connection, marking the first batch of wind and solar power generation projects in the Jinsha River downstream clean energy base, one of the nine major clean energy bases in China's 14th Five Year Plan, to achieve full capacity grid connection.

The first batch of planned wind and solar projects for the Jinsha River downstream clean energy base have constructed a total of 24 photovoltaic projects with a total installed capacity of 2.743 million kilowatts, distributed in cities (prefectures) such as Zhaotong, Chuxiong, Kunming, and Qujing in Yunnan Province.

Zhou Cheng, General Manager of Three Gorges Group Yunnan Branch: After the project is fully connected to the grid, the average annual power generation can reach 3.6 billion kilowatt hours, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2.84 million tons per year. This can effectively promote the comprehensive green transformation of the economic and social development in the western region and assist in the construction of China's new energy system.

The Jinsha River downstream clean energy base is one of the nine major clean energy bases planned and constructed in China's 14th Five Year Plan.

At present, all four giant hydropower stations in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, namely Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, and Xiangjiaba, have been put into operation for power generation. In the future, the clean energy base in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River will rely on the cascade hydropower regulation capacity of the basin, and through multi energy complementarity and integrated development, drive more new energy development such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and further build a clean energy corridor in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River.
