BEIJING, May 20, 2024
/CNW/ --The CEME1 480MW Project, now the largest photovoltaic (PV)
installation in Chile, has
successfully reached full capacity grid connection. PowerChina
Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited, the contractor of the
project, utilized high-performance modules from JA Solar,
emphasizing the pivotal role of JA Solar's technology and products
in this landmark achievement.
Spanning approximately 400 hectares—an area equivalent to 370
football fields—the project represents about one-tenth of
Chile's total installed renewable
energy capacity. Located in the Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar
desert in the world, the project places exceptionally high demands
on the reliability of the PV modules. Recognized for its superior
product reliability and extensive experience in supplying PV
projects in desert environments, JA Solar has been selected to
provide all the modules for this project. The project is poised to
generate one billion kWh of electricity annually. This substantial
output will provide clean energy to approximately 400,000
households and is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by
around 280,000 tons each year.
The successful operation of the CEME1 Project marks a crucial
step forward in Chile's energy
transition, showcasing the significant impact of JA Solar's
advanced PV technology in driving global sustainable development.
At the outset of the project construction, JA Solar collaborated
with builders from PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation
Limited to conduct a detailed analysis and assessment of local
geological conditions and multiple challenges such as high
temperatures, intense ultraviolet radiation, and strong winds and
sandstorms, laying a solid foundation for the smooth execution of
the Project. With its outstanding performance in several projects
located in extreme geographical and climatic conditions, the JA
Solar module has won high praise for its reliability and
adaptability.
Aiqing Yang, Executive President
of JA Solar, said, "The CEME1 480MW Project marks a significant
milestone in our commitment to renewable energy innovation and
sustainability. This project not only underscores the exceptional
synergy between PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited
and JA Solar but also sets a new benchmark for large-scale solar
initiatives in Chile. We are proud
to contribute to the local energy transition, providing clean
energy to hundreds of thousands of households and significantly
reducing carbon emissions. We look forward to continuing our
support for local sustainable development, addressing environmental
challenges, and fostering a greener and more resilient future for
communities in Chile and
beyond."
