CNOOC has connected to the grid its 40-MW onshore PV project located in the city of Hezuo, China. This unique project follows an "Animal Husbandry-solar Complementary Project" model, with a 6-MW/12-MWh energy storage system and racks to allow animal grazing. It is helping CNOOC achieve its green and low-carbon transition goals and supporting local development.

Shenzhen S.C. is investing up to 961 million RMB (USD$134 million) in the manufacture of equipment for perovskite and perovskite tandem solar cells. This strategic investment is set to take advantage of the potential of the technology and enhance the company's position in the PV market. The project will focus on setting up production facilities in Jiangsu province, China, with an annual capacity of 160 PVD, 119 RPC, and 60 VEC equipment.

Experience increased production capacity with the opening of a new high-tech facility in 2021. The new plant will offer 10 GW cell production, 15 GW module production and 8 GW monocrystalline bar production.

China has started the world's largest hydro-solar power project in Sichuan province: the 10,000 MW Kela Photovoltaic Power Station, aiming to provide clean energy to the Sichuan-Chongqing region. China is pushing ahead with its clean energy plans, developing 100 GW of wind and solar energy in Western China and manufacturing equipment locally.
