Recently, with the official launch of the third phase of the 2 GW fish solar complementary power generation project in Zhanhua District, Binzhou, undertaken by China Power Construction, this "world's largest" green project has entered a new construction stage. The continuous promotion of this project is not only a record breaking achievement in scale, but also a deep practice of the innovative model of "generating electricity from above and raising fish from below", which will inject a strong impetus into the optimization of regional energy structure and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goal.

This mega project, located in Binhai Town, Zhanhua District, Binzhou City, Shandong Province, has a planned total capacity of 2 gigawatts and covers an area of approximately 66000 acres. Its scale ranks first among similar projects worldwide. Matching the huge power generation capacity is the largest 220 kV photovoltaic booster station in Asia, which is built to support the project. This booster station is like the "heart" of the project, efficiently gathering the current generated by various photovoltaic areas and boosting it to the required voltage of the power grid, ensuring stable transmission of green electricity. The project will be constructed in five phases. Currently, the first and second phases (totaling 299 MW) have been connected to the grid for power generation. The third phase of the project, which includes a 204 MW photovoltaic area and supporting booster stations, marks the beginning of a tough period for the main construction of the project.

The core charm of the project lies in its three-dimensional cycle mode of "complementary fishing and light". It is not a simple combination of photovoltaics and aquaculture, but a sophisticated industrial coupling.

Spatial Revolution: Achieving vertical spatial reuse of existing fish ponds without increasing land occupation or changing land properties, maximizing the output efficiency per unit area of land. Ecological synergy: Photovoltaic panels block excessive sunlight from the water surface, effectively inhibiting algae growth, lowering water temperature, and creating a better growth environment for shade loving fish, which is expected to improve the quality and survival rate of aquaculture. At the same time, aquaculture activities hardly interfere with the operation of photovoltaic power plants, achieving the parallel and synergistic coexistence of "power generation" and "fish farming".

After the completion of the project, it will provide an average of about 3.39 billion kilowatt hours of green electricity per year, which is equivalent to saving over 1 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 2.85 million tons. The environmental benefits are equivalent to planting tens of thousands of hectares of forests.

More importantly, it has been included in the top-level planning of the ten million kilowatt level integrated base of wind and solar storage and transmission on the salt marsh in northern Shandong. This means that the project is not only a single power plant, but also a benchmark for the country to successfully explore green development on the traditional "marginal land" of saline alkali mudflat, providing a replicable "China plan" for large-scale and efficient development of clean energy.

From the vast saline alkali mudflat to the sparkling "blue energy ocean" in the future, the promotion of Binzhou Zhanhua project shows China's grand vision and technological ingenuity on the road of energy transformation. It proves that green development does not mean sacrificing economic benefits, but achieving a win-win situation for ecology and economy through technological innovation. With the comprehensive implementation of the third phase project, this once ecologically fragile area is accelerating its transformation into a "green energy field" that drives the future.Editor/Cheng Liting
