SPIC has resolutely implemented the important instructions of "securing development in the PV power industry" made by President Xi Jinping when he inspected the Upper Yellow River Hydropower Development Co. of SPIC in August 2016. Over the past four years, SPIC has been pushing forward quality development of the PV power industry, with a total installed capacity of 35 GW, ranking first in the world. SPIC has established large energy bases in Jiuquan, Gonghe, Golmud, Hami and Yancheng, with assets mainly distributed in 30 provinces and regions of China, including Qinghai, Xinjiang, Hebei, Jiangsu and Gansu. It has fostered a whole industry chain integrating R&D, design, polysilicon, PV cells, module manufacturing, engineering construction and PV power generation and operation.
SPIC has taken the lead in implementing hydro-wind-PV hybrid projects, fishery-PV as well as agriculture-PV hybrid projects, and desertification control with PV power plants in China. With such efforts, it has addressed problems in ensuring safe PV power grid connection, improving the multipurpose utilization rate of lands, and environmental governance, thus charting an ecological development path of energies featuring multi-energy hybrid projects and intelligent coordination.
