How it works
The total installed capacity of the project is a 40-megawatt peak. It is estimated that the feed-in electricity from the project is approximately 56,330 megawatt-hours per year. The electricity generated by the project is first sent to the newly built substation at the project site and then delivered to the Northwest China Power Grid (NWPG). The installation stimulates the growth of the solar photovoltaic power industry and encourages the progress of technology advancement and commercial popularization of grid-connected clean renewable energy generation in China.
Offsets Made it Happen
Without funds from carbon offsets, reliance on fossil fuels would have continued in the project area, and avoidance of significant GHG emissions reductions would have not been possible.
Other Benefits of the Project
HEALTH BENEFITS:
The project reduces the emission of harmful pollutants into the air resulting from the fossil fuel power generation industry in China, such as SO2 and NOx.
SOCIAL BENEFITS:
The project also creates local employment opportunities during the assembly and installation period of the electricity generation equipment, and the construction and operation period. The project will provide long-term work positions for locals.
