The 800MW fishery-photovoltaic complementary photovoltaic power generation project in Wuhan Yangtze River New Area declared by China Coal Resources Development Group Co., Ltd. has recently been approved. With a total investment of 4 billion yuan, the project is planned to start construction in December 2025 in Cangbu Street and Liuzhi Street, Yangtze River New Area, Wuhan, and will use 16,000 acres of pit pond water surface to build 800MW photovoltaic power generation facilities and supporting power projects.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Coal Energy Group Co., Ltd., China Coal Resources Development Group focuses on coal mining, power production and new energy development. The approved fishery-PV complementary project marks an important progress made by China Coal Group in the field of new energy.

In recent years, China Coal Group has continued to increase investment in new energy. In June 2023, the Group invested 1.5 billion yuan to establish a new energy company in Xinjiang; In July 2024, the scale of new energy projects in Henan, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places has exceeded 9GW, covering a variety of development models such as coal-to-coal-power pooling, coal-to-renewable energy co-operation, and wind-solar-thermal storage and distribution network integration.

China Coal Group said that it will coordinate the two strategic tasks of "ensuring energy security" and "green and low-carbon transformation", give full play to the advantages of the coal-electricity-chemical-new-service industry chain, and focus on promoting the two joint operation + strategies of the resource side and the consumption side. According to the plan, by 2035, the Group will build a multi-energy complementary, green and low-carbon world-class energy enterprise, of which the installed capacity of clean energy during the 15th Five-Year Plan period is set at 40 million kilowatts.

The implementation of the 800MW fishery-photovoltaic complementary project in Wuhan Yangtze River New Area will not only effectively improve the efficiency of land resource utilization and achieve a win-win ecological and economic model of "water power generation and underwater aquaculture", but also help China Coal Group accelerate the transition to clean energy, and contribute to the optimization of China's energy structure and the realization of the dual carbon goals.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
