Sineng Electric has announced the grid connection of a pioneering 1GW solar PV project integrated with a gas-fired power station in Qinghai, China.
Located in Qinghai’s Qaidam Basin, an area renowned for its significant renewable energy potential, the project spans 16.78 square kilometers in the Gobi Desert and benefits from over 3,500 hours of sunlight annually. The deployment of Sineng’s 3.3MW MV turnkey solution has been essential in navigating the region’s extreme environmental challenges, including high altitude, frequent wind and sand and wide temperature fluctuations. The cutting-edge central inverters feature optimal power conversion efficiency and high protection rating, ensuring the solar facility’s long-term performance and maximizing economic returns.
As the first million-kilowatt gas-renewable hybrid project on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the power plant demonstrates the complementary nature of solar energy and fossil fuel-based generation, with Sineng’s advanced technologies proving instrumental in driving this green transformation.
