Recently, the 16 MW self-consumption photovoltaic project in Heidaigou Mining Area officially broke ground, marking Zhuneng Group's solid progress in advancing green and low-carbon transition and developing diversified clean energy industries.
Developed on idle land inside Heidaigou Open-pit Coal Mine, the 16 MW full self-consumption photovoltaic project adopts fixed brackets for photovoltaic module layout to build a ground distributed photovoltaic power station. Covering a land area of about 20 hectares, the project features an installed PV capacity of 16 MW, one newly-built 35 kV switching station and an energy storage system configured at 1.8 MW/6.4 MWh, with a scheduled construction period of 120 days.
Upon completion, the project will supply stable and reliable power for mining equipment including excavators and drilling rigs in Heidaigou Mine, and deliver clean and efficient power supply for safety and intelligent retrofitting programs, supporting the green and intelligent upgrading of overall mining operation. The project is expected to generate an annual power output of 23.7168 GWh and cut carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 19,471.5 tonnes every year with remarkable energy conservation and emission reduction benefits, along with an estimated profit of RMB 64.5278 million and sound economic returns. While absorbing newly added mining load, replacing and reducing fossil energy consumption, the project will rationally leverage reclaimed open-pit land resources, facilitating efficient land utilization, energy structure optimization and industrial upgrading with strong demonstration value.
Zhuneng Group has long actively responded to the national Dual Carbon goals and accelerated the formation of a new development pattern coordinating traditional energy and new energy. Leveraging local abundant solar energy and reclaimed land resources, the company explores the model of "photovoltaic + ecological restoration" to realize "photovoltaic construction on flat ground and ecological management on slopes". Taking this project as an opportunity, the company will advance coordinated development between traditional coal and new energy industries, and act as a pacesetter for green and low-carbon development, injecting new momentum into regional energy transition and high-quality corporate growth.
