China Power planning solar projects in three provinces

Will add to its total installed solar capacity of 100 MW.

State-owned clean power development company China Power Investment Corporation is planning more solar projects in Changjiang, Yuanjiang and Xishan following the recent success of two projects.

It announced its intent to develop PV projects in Changjiang in Hainan province, Yuanjiang in Yunan and Xishan in Kunming at an unspecified future date.

Solar power was credited as one of the sources of a rise in China Power’s six-month revenue from US$159 million for January to July period last year to CN US$163 million from January to June this year.

China Power said the second phase of its PV projects in Gansu Wuwei and Gansu Baiyin completed its PV commitment. Each project has an installed capacity of 50 MW staggered over two, now complete phases.

China Power has an 805 MW wind portfolio with a further 650 MW under development. It also has 525 MW of hydro projects and 325 MW of natural gas assets.
