With the power generated by the first phase of the 250,000-kilowatt ‘Photovoltaic + N’ project in Chali town, Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture, Sichuan, the grid-connected capacity of China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) new energy projects in the province has exceeded 1 million kW for the first time.

The ‘Photovoltaic + N’ project is the first million-kilowatt-level solar power generation project constructed by CTG in Sichuan. Located at an altitude of up to 3,800 meters, it is the CTG’s largest photovoltaic power generation project being built at an altitude above 3,500 m in China.
The total installed capacity of the project will be 1.1 million kW, and is divided into two phases – the first phase has an installed capacity of 250,000 kW, while the second phase will have a capacity of 850,000 kW.
To date, CTG has connected a total of eight new energy projects to the grid in Sichuan, with an installed capacity of 1.05 million kW. This year alone, the company is beginning construction on a further eight projects.
At full capacity, the grid connection total will exceed 3 million kW, providing much-needed momentum for Sichuan province's green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
