[SMM PV News] US Milwaukee 4.6 MW landfill PV expansion project comes online

On September 15, the 2.08 MW distributed PV project of Chengdu Tianyu Zhigu Technology Development Co., Ltd., constructed by JA Solar Smart Energy, was successfully connected to the grid and began generating power. The project was jointly developed by JA Solar Smart Energy and Chengdu Ganshi New Energy Co., Ltd., adopting the grid connection mode of "self-generation for self-use, with surplus power fed to the grid." Located in the Chengdu Tianyu Zhigu Industrial Park, the park has a total expected investment of 3 billion yuan and focuses on two core sectors: "healthcare + smart manufacturing." The project utilizes the rooftops of five factory buildings in the industrial park to build distributed PV power stations. Once connected to the grid and put into operation, the clean electricity will be converted on-site into green momentum for park production, helping accelerate the park's green and low-carbon development.

On September 15, Sumec Energy's Hai'an Duntou 50 MW PV power generation project was successfully connected to the grid, with the project owner, supervisor, and contractor gathering on site to celebrate the grid connection. Located in Duntou Town, Hai'an City, Nantong, the project adopts a "fishery-solar hybrid" model, with a total capacity of 50 MW and an annual power generation of 66 million kWh. The successful grid connection of the project not only provides strong support for optimizing the local energy structure, but also brings significant ecological and economic benefits to regional economic and social development.

An existing 230 MW solar plant in Azerbaijan is being considered for an expansion of at least 350 MW, alongside up to 200 MWh of storage. Separately, a 315 MW solar project has reached financial close, accelerating the country’s utility-scale pipeline.
