Chinese EPC giant POWERCHINA has announced a centralized procurement tender for 60 GW of fixed-mounting systems for solar projects, making it the largest tender of its kind globally. The company said the record-scale procurement is aimed at supporting its planned solar project pipeline over the next 3 years. 

Of the total capacity, 36 GW is earmarked for zinc-aluminum-magnesium brackets, and 24 GW for hot-dip galvanized brackets. This procurement will support projects in the domestic market. 

It will cover the entire requirement for fixed-mount structures of the company for projects scheduled between 2025 and 2027. 

Through this tender, POWERCHINA will shortlist 10 suppliers, entering framework agreements valid for 2 years, with this pool. They may be later directly invited for future project-level purchases through negotiation or bidding.  

The bidding is limited to manufacturers with proven supply experiences of at least 1 GW since 2022. The broad scope of work includes design, manufacturing, testing, packaging, transportation, on-site inspection, installation guidance, commissioning, trial operation, troubleshooting, and technical services during the warranty period.  

The procurement is being managed by POWERCHINA subsidiary Zhejiang Green Chain Digital Technology Co. Ltd. 

POWERCHINA announced the tender on August 15, 2025. The last date of bid submissions is September 12, 2025. Tender details are available in Chinese on POWERCHINA’s website. 

Notably, POWERCHINA had hit headlines previously with its 51 GW solar modules and 51 GW solar inverters procurement tender in November 2024. It attracted 83 bidders, but later terminated it, citing changes in procurement needs following adjustments to China’s new energy pricing policies (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
