RECENTLY, the 400kW distributed photovoltaic project of Dapein (1) Hydropower Station was successfully connected to the grid for power generation, marking a crucial step of Datang (Yunnan) United Hydropower Developing Co Ltd towards “coupling development” and a pioneering action of China Datang Overseas Investment Co Ltd towards “coupling development”.
This project was commenced on 25 April 2024 and grid-connected on 31 May. Its average annual power generation is expected to be 594.74MWh, equivalent to a reduction of carbon emissions by 504t. This is a demonstration project of “technological transformation, quality improvement and efficiency enhancement”, which can reduce the consumption of high-price off-grid electricity, increase the standby power of the power station and boost the production reliability. In addition, it is crucial to mitigate the power shortage around the world and promote local development.
In active response to the initiative of China Datang Overseas Investment Co Ltd towards a leader in “electricity cost reduction and efficiency improvement”, all works involved in the project were completed independently by Datang (Yunnan) United Hydropower Developing Co Ltd. In order to guarantee the construction period and quality, our Chinese and Myanmar employees struggled in line with the spirits of “courage, self-reliance, loyalty and responsibility” despite the high temperature. Eventually, this project lasted for 36 days, from commencement to grid connection for power generation!
The successful implementation of this project demonstrates not only the technological strength of our company but also the solid commitment of China Datang Corporation to green and clean energy. It has injected new momentum into the new development pattern of China Datang Overseas Investment Co Ltd, i.e., new energy development (represented by wind power and photovoltaic power) driven by hydrogen energy, energy storage, green carbon, intelligent integrated energy, energy conservation and environmental protection and science and technology R&D on the basis of conventional energy (grid, thermal power, hydropower, etc.). It has also contributed to the development of China Datang Overseas Investment Co Ltd towards hydropower/ thermal power integration and wind/photovoltaic power integration.
