CTG subsidiary wins SPIC’s 500 MW offshore PV EPC contract

State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) has announced the EPC tender results for a 500 MW offshore solar PV project, with Shanghai Investigation, Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Three Gorges Corporation, emerging as the winner. The project will be located in the sea area of Fengxian District on the northern coast of Hangzhou Bay, Shanghai, with a planned PV capacity of 500 MW. The site is 10 to 12 m deep and about 12 km from shore. It will be co-located with the existing Fengxian offshore wind farm, making it China’s first market-driven offshore ‘wind-solar hybrid’ project.

Last month, Tongwei and China Datang jointly inaugurated a high-altitude PV demonstration power plant in Derong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
