Once operational, the project is anticipated to produce approximately 1.609 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This significant output will reduce 496,400 tons in coal consumption and a decrease of 1.2374 million tons in CO2 emissions.
Additionally, it is expected to boost local economic activity with an output value increase of around 1.5 billion RMB, highlighting the economic benefits of sustainable energy investments.
The Fishery-PV project ingeniously combines solar power generation with fishery operations.
By installing photovoltaic (PV) panels over fish ponds, the project maximises the use of local water surfaces and lowers water temperatures, mitigating heat-related stress on fish.
