[SMM PV News] Guangxi: Beibu Gulf Port Group’s 150 MW agrivoltaic project achieves full-capacity grid connection!

Recently, the Shanren Agrivoltaic Complementary Project in Xiangzhou County, Guangxi, has achieved full-capacity grid connection and begun generating electricity. The project was invested in and constructed by Luhai Xinneng, a subsidiary of Beibu Gulf Port Group, with China Energy Engineering Group Guangxi Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. serving as the EPC contractor.

The project is located in the hilly areas southeast of Yunjiang Town, southwest of Luoxiu Town, and northeast of Sicun Town in Xiangzhou County, Laibin City, Guangxi. The construction scale includes an AC side capacity of 112 megawatts and a DC side installed capacity of 150 megawatts. It connects to the 35 kV power distribution system of the PV step-up substation via four 35 kV voltage-level circuits.

The project adopts a comprehensive land utilization model integrating PV power generation with agricultural cultivation. Once fully connected to the grid, it is expected to deliver an annual average of over 155 million kWh of green electricity, meeting the annual electricity needs of 28,000 households. Each year, it will reduce standard coal consumption by 46,500 mt and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 127,000 mt. The ecological benefits are equivalent to planting 7 million trees, with a greening area equal to 1,000 standard football fields.

Additionally, the project will create over 200 local jobs in PV operations and maintenance, agricultural production, and environmental protection construction, achieving an organic integration of economic, social, and ecological benefits and injecting sustainable green momentum into regional development.
