Enabling much more renewable energy to be added to the grid in high-wind and high-solar Ningxia, China, a giant new energy storage system has been installed and connected to the grid. The 200MW/400MWh is the “largest stand-alone energy storage station with a Hithium LFP battery inside,” Hithium writes. “As the … [continued]
A new ultra-high voltage transmission line launched this week in China is expected to dramatically cut demand for thermal coal, according to market sources quoted by S&P Global Platts.
A Chinese company recently signed an agreement with an Oman-based investment firm for the development of a large-scale solar power project in the Middle Eastern country. The project will be developed in two phases, with the first one having a capacity of 400 megawatts. The first phase will eventually be expanded to 1,000 megawatts capacity.
China installed an impressive 7.21 gigawatts of new solar capacity in the first quarter of 2017, and generated 21.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, up 80% over the same period a year earlier.
Figures from the China Electricity Council show non-fossil fuel sources of energy accounted for over a quarter of the country’s power generation in 2014.
The electricity generated by China’s wind energy capacity fell by 5.2% in 2014, according to the country’s National Energy Administration. The news, reported by Wind Power Monthly, states that the average uptime for projects of 6 MW and over across the country was 1,905 hours. The decline in generation came … [continued]
By Anders Hove. It started with a mystery: what happened to the huge amount of distributed solar China was supposed to deploy in 2014? We were a well-selected bunch of curious cleantech investigators: Alan Beebe and three of his colleagues from EY’s cleantech practice, a solar finance expert from a … [continued]
