On October 31, 2022, Shanghai Electric Power Co., Ltd. issued a bidding announcement on the EPC project of the 100000 kilowatt solar thermal power generation project in northern Hami.

Project overview

The project is located in the Five Day Strong Wind Gobi Desert in the northeast of Santanghu Township, Balikun County, Hami City, Xinjiang. The site is about 170km away from Hami City and about 60km east of Santanghu Town, Balikun. The project plans to build 100000 kW photothermal power generation demonstration project, including 900 MW photovoltaic+100 MW photothermal power generation demonstration project, with a total installed capacity of 100000 kW. According to the situation of the power grid in the autonomous region, two 220kV step-up collection stations are built in the site area. Among them, the 900000 kilowatt photovoltaic power station and the photo thermal power station use 35kV primary step-up to 220kV step-up collection station. The 100000 photo thermal power station is connected to the 220kV step-up collection station through a 110kV circuit, and each station is connected to the system through the 220kV voltage level.

This project is one of the landmark projects that actively respond to the national "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral" goals, and has the characteristics of "light and heat complement, equipped with energy storage system". Prior to this, the Northwest Electric Power Construction Institute of China has won the bid to prepare the feasibility study of the 1GW photovoltaic solar thermal project in North Hami of the State Power Investment Corporation

Planned construction period: the construction period of this project is planned to be 18 months, the project is planned to start in April 2023, and the unit will be put into operation in September 2024.
