China Energy Group has announced that the country's largest "fishing-solar hybrid" project, a 1.09-million-kilowatt photovoltaic power station developed by Guohua Investment, has been successfully connected to the grid. Located in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, along the Bohai Sea coast, the project consists of 363 photovoltaic arrays with 2.31 million solar panels, covering approximately 26,000 mu (17.33 square kilometers). It is part of China’s third batch of large-scale wind and photovoltaic energy base projects, with a total investment of 6.5 billion yuan.
The project leverages Cangzhou's unique natural resources and thriving aquaculture industry to integrate renewable energy with sustainable aquaculture practices. It focuses on developing key technologies for "fishing-solar hybrid" marine aquaculture, creating an innovative ecological model that combines energy generation with industrial upgrades.
Guo Kaimin, manager of the "fishing-solar hybrid" project at Guohua Investment, stated that the station is expected to generate an average of 1.86 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually—enough to power approximately 2.79 million households for a year. Additionally, it will save about 561,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.4 million tons annually. The project will contribute to the development of a renewable energy-based power system in the region, offering significant economic, environmental, and social benefits.
