The first batch of grid-connected electricity generation from Phase I of the Qingdao Jimo offshore photovoltaic project by PowerChina has commenced.

On May 30th, the first batch of grid-connected power generation of the first phase of the China Energy Construction Qingdao Jimo offshore photovoltaic project was successfully connected to the national grid, and the generated offshore green power successfully entered thousands of households. It is understood that the project is a fishery-integrated offshore pile-mounted fixed photovoltaic project, located in the Aoshan Bay sea area of Jimo District, Qingdao City, with a total investment of 10.2 billion yuan and a planned construction of 1.15 million kilowatts of pile-mounted photovoltaic power generation project. The project obtained the approval of the Ministry of Natural Resources for the marine use in October 2024, and the offshore installation operation started comprehensively in December of the same year. The project is divided into two phases. The installed capacity of the first phase of the AC side is 600 megawatts. After the full capacity of the first phase is put into operation, it is expected to generate approximately 1.07 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually, save about 327,000 tons of standard coal, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 871,000 tons.
