Global Solar Thermal Power Developers Invited to Bid for Chinese Solar Power Projects
Based on a success in the Dunhuang 10MW PV (photovoltaic) power generation project, China is scheduled to invite both domestic and overseas companies to a public bidding of the solar thermal power generation project franchise this year, said an official. In particular, it will be the first solar thermal power generation project franchise bidding in China.
Located in the northern Chinese autonomous regions of Inner Mongolia, the new project owns an annual power generation capacity of 50MW, five times of the Dunhuang-based project that was successfully operated in 2009. When asked about the specific timetable, Shi Lishan, a senior official at the National Energy Administration of China, stated that his department had not made it certain yet.
Last year, the nation raised the curtain on a public bidding of the Dunhuang 10MW PV power generation project franchise, which drove the total grid-connected installed capacity of domestic PV power generation industry up to more than 100MW.
Mr. Shi also revealed that Asia’s first sizable offshore wind power project, namely a 100,000KW wind farm in Shanghai, would start operation completely in mid June 2010.
