Qinghai into the largest photovoltaic power generation base in China

In the situation where the domestic PV module industry has experienced a trough, Qinghai has used the advantages of the unique light and heat resources of the Plateau to become the largest solar photovoltaic power generation base in China. In the past two years, Qinghai has actively adjusted its energy structure, focusing on the development of new types of clean energy, and developing solar photovoltaic power generation in areas such as Qaidam. In order to solve the problem of uneven day-and-night photovoltaic power generation and the existence of bottlenecks in the Internet, Qinghai Province built a peak-adjusting power station at Chaidamu to improve the external transmission grids such as the Qinghai-Tibet and Qingxin power grids, and built a “highway” for grid-connected photovoltaic power generation.

As of the beginning of this year, a total of 310 megawatts of solar photovoltaic power generation from 12 projects across the province were incorporated into the State Grid. Last year, photovoltaic power generation reached 1.47 billion kWh.

At the same time, the use of local hydropower price advantage, the solar photovoltaic power generation and its "bundle" outside the delivery, to achieve cross-regional consumption of photovoltaic power. This year, Qinghai will conduct a pilot project in Golmud to build distributed photovoltaic power generation on the roof and strive to join the national grid.
