Beijing-based company Dajin Heavy Industry has commissioned its 250 MW Shilihai fishery-solar hybrid photovoltaic (PV) project in Tangshan, Hebei Province, China.
The project, which is now fully connected to the grid, employs a dual-use model of “power generation above, aquaculture below,” spanning approximately 353 hectares of fish ponds and featuring 370,000 bifacial solar panels.
According to the company, the setup aims to deliver efficient solar conversion while maintaining stable fishery operations, to improve land-use efficiency, and generate dual economic and environmental benefits.
“The project is expected to generate approximately 400 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving 120,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 320,000 tons, effectively improving local air quality,” Dajin Heavy Industry said in a social media post.
The initiative is said to be a part of its broader strategy to scale investments across the renewable energy value chain, building on its existing foundation in offshore wind manufacturing activities.
“Building upon our established global leadership in offshore wind foundation manufacturing, Dajin is actively accelerating its investment and development initiatives across the broader renewable energy value chain,” noted Dajin Heavy Industry .
“Dajin’s portfolio expansion cements our role in enabling the global energy transition. We remain dedicated to spearheading innovations that shape a net-zero future.”
