The third phase of the world's largest fishery-solar complementary power generation project -- the Binzhou Zhanhua 2 GW fishery-solar complementary project, constructed by PowerChina -- has been successfully connected to the grid.
Located in Binhai Town, Zhanhua District, Binzhou City, Shandong Province, the project covers approximately 66,000 mu and has a planned total capacity of 2 GW. It also includes a 220 kV substation, the largest of its kind in Asia, and transmission lines. The project is being built in five phases. PowerChina's No. 10 Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Bureau is responsible for the EPC contract of the substation and transmission lines, as well as the PC section 1 construction of the PV plant area. Phase one and phase two, with a combined capacity of approximately 299 MW, have already been connected to the grid. The newly connected phase three has an installed capacity of 203 MW, enough to meet the annual electricity needs of 200,000 households.
Once the project is fully connected at its total capacity, it will provide approximately 3.39 billion kWh of green electricity annually.
