The 150,000-kilowatt solar project, part of the wind-solar power project developed by China Datang Corporation Ltd. in Taonan, Northeast China's Jilin Province, was connected to the grid and started operation on July 24.
It is currently the largest operational wind-solar energy storage project in North China.

The project has a total installed capacity of 1.15 million kW.
The 439 wind turbines went into operation in late 2021 with an installed capacity of 1 million kW.
The recently on-line solar power section of the project consists of a 6,532 monocrystalline silicon solar energy cell unit array that optimizes the energy space distribution and realizes coordinated development of the section’s wind and solar power bases.
The project is a large-scale clean energy base project to serve the country's "dual carbon" goals of peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
It is expected to generate about 3.6 billion kilowatt-hours of power annually, equaling to that produced by burning 1.18 million metric tons of standard coal and eliminating 2.92 million, 30,000 and 26,500 tons of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and oxynitride.
The project is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage facility to guarantee safe operation of the grid system and availability of power for users, providing a model for future development of large-scale wind-solar energy storage projects.
The project is planned to play a supporting role in construction of a new energy industrial base in the western part of Jilin, which will offer large amounts of clean power to downstream industrial enterprises along the energy chain, help improve energy supply and demand structure, boost national economic and social development and contribute to green and low-carbon transformation.
