Recently, the first fleet of vehicles loaded with AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules successfully arrived at the Kubuqi Desert base in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, marking the official start of delivery for the first phase of the Jingneng Kubuqi "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large base, a 240 MW ABC PV project. As an important part of the cluster of national desert-Gobi-wasteland clean energy bases in Inner Mongolia, this project is not only a crucial move by Jingneng Group to implement the national large base strategy for new energy, but also another demonstration of AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules supporting the construction of "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large bases with their robust product capabilities under extreme climate conditions.

The Kubuqi Desert features high surface reflectivity, large day-night temperature differences, and frequent sandstorms, posing rigorous challenges to the long-term operational reliability and power generation stability of PV modules. As the sole winning bidder, AIKO supplies all 240 MW of ABC bifacial double-glass modules for this project. Leveraging high conversion efficiency, high bifaciality, and excellent low-irradiance performance, AIKO ABC modules can fully harness the reflection gains from the desert surface, boosting power generation capacity per unit area. According to estimates, the project is expected to achieve an average annual equivalent utilization of 1,612.63 hours over its 25-year operational period. Compared with conventional modules, it can save more than 6% land area, reduce BOS costs, and achieve the optimal levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for the project.

[SMM PV News] Yunnan: Promoting Quality Upgrades in Silicon PV

On September 29, the People's Government of Yunnan Province issued the notice on printing and distributing the 15th Five-Year Plan for Regional Coordinated Development of Yunnan Province, which proposes consolidating and enhancing the advantages of traditional industries such as tobacco and energy, strengthening and expanding advantageous resource-based industries dominated by green aluminum, coal-phosphorus chemicals, germanium, and indium in nonferrous and rare precious metals, promoting the quality improvement and upgrading of silicon PV, and fostering the growth of new energy cells, new materials, and advanced equipment manufacturing. It also calls for advancing the digital transformation of manufacturing, building smart factories, and developing intelligent manufacturing. The plan aims to improve the comprehensive transportation network, accelerate the construction of clean thermal power energy bases, optimize the layout of the power grid and natural gas pipeline networks, build key water source projects and large and medium-sized irrigation areas, coordinate the layout of new-type infrastructure, and speed up the construction of the Qujing national-level and Xuanwei provincial-level backbone cold chain logistics bases and the Malong provincial-level logistics hub. It seeks to elevate the development level of the central city cluster of Qilin, Zhanyi, and Malong, promote the coordinated development of Xuanwei with the central urban area, and enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity of surrounding county towns. The plan also aims to improve the public service system and increase the supply of high-quality education, healthcare, cultural, and sports resources. It will improve the commercial circulation system and develop integrated services of commerce, the internet, and logistics.
