CNOOC Limited’s 40MW solar project linked to grid

It is supported by a 6MW/21MWh battery energy storage.

China National Offshore Oil Corp. Limited’s (CNOOC) first onshore centralized photovoltaic project with a total installed capacity of 40 megawatts (MW) has been connected to the grid.

In a statement, CNOOC said the Animal Husbandry-solar Complementary Project in Hezuo City, Gannan Autonomous Prefecture covers an area of around 930,000 square metres and is backed by a 6MW/12MW-hour energy storage facility.

The project can also save over 20,000 tonnes of standard coal annually compared to coal-fired generators with the same capacity, according to CNOOC which holds 100% equity interest in the project.

It also uses tall racks allowing the solar panels to use the upper space, whilst the space below provides an area for grazing.

“CNOOC Limited actively explores the development of new energy sector and new industries. The Animal Husbandry-solar Complementary Project levers local resources and advantages to practice the integration mode of 'new energy + rural special industries + N'. It facilitates the company's pursuit of green and low-carbon transition, while also drives high-quality development of local industries,” said CEO and President Zhou Xinhuai.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
