On May 28, the construction of the second phase of the 300,000 kilowatt photovoltaic power station with a total investment of 1.4 billion yuan was started, and it is expected to be put into operation in December. After the completion of the project, the annual power generation capacity will reach 500 million kilowatt hours, which can meet the annual electricity demand of 250,000 households.

Located in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the second phase of the 300,000 kilowatt photovoltaic power station is located in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, with an average altitude of 4,000 meters and an area of more than 7,000 acres. The first phase of the 200,000 kilowatt photovoltaic power station has been fully put into operation in June 2024, and with the start of the second phase of the project, the clean energy territory of Jinchuan County will be expanded again.

Cai Fujie, project manager of the second phase of the Gastu project department of Huadian Jinchuan New Energy Company, said that after the completion of the project, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 320,000 tons per year, which is equivalent to adding 240,000 mu of forest carbon sequestration efficiency. In terms of economic benefits, the annual output value of the project during the operation period is about 130 million yuan, contributing about 17 million yuan to local tax revenue, and it is expected to provide 800 jobs during the construction period. In the next step, we will anchor the 'dual carbon' goal, deepen the cooperation between the central and local governments, and join hands with cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Jinchuan to jointly write a new chapter of high-quality development."

Since the start of the project, Jinchuan County and Huadian Jinchuan New Energy Company have worked together to efficiently promote various preliminary work. At present, more than 10 key links such as project filing and feasibility study report review have been completed, and the innovative use of the "grass-light complementation" model has been adopted to realize the intensive use of land, and under the photovoltaic panels, herders can continue to graze to achieve a win-win situation of power generation, grazing and ecological restoration, which not only protects the ecological background, but also activates the industrial value, laying a solid foundation for the follow-up project construction.

"The PV project rents the land of the villagers, and also provides a lot of labor and technical positions, so that the villagers can find jobs at their doorstep, and their income has also increased a lot." Li Hongchuan, a member of the village-based work team of Gasdu Village, said happily. According to reports, Huadian Jinchuan New Energy Company actively fulfills its social responsibilities during the construction of the project, and helps the local people through land transfer and employment absorption. At present, it has leased more than 4,500 acres of local herdsmen's land, provided more than 1,000 jobs, and increased the per capita annual income by more than 2,000 yuan, so that the local people can truly realize "employment at the doorstep, earn money and take care of their families".

The construction of the second phase of the photovoltaic power station is a vivid practice of Jinchuan County's practice of the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and it is also a vivid portrayal of the central and local governments working together to draw a new chapter of green development. In the future, Jinchuan County will continue to deepen the cooperation between the central and local governments, promote the high-quality development of the clean energy industry, and inject strong impetus into rural revitalization.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
