The Aba Rangtang Puxi II PV project, built by POWERCHINA, has connected its first 102.56 MW generation block to the grid. Located in Rangtang County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the project is situated at an altitude of 4,200-4,590 m. It is considered China’s highest-altitude large-scale ground-mounted PV plant under construction. The site has a total planned capacity of 650 MW across 2 phases; the current grid-connected portion is part of Phase I (350 MW), which is paired with a 70 MWh storage system. Once fully commissioned, the project is expected to produce 680 million kWh annually.
Recently, the main structure of the Anduo 100 MW concentrated solar power (CSP) tower project in Tibet, described as the world’s highest-altitude tower CSP project and built by 2 POWERCHINA subsidiaries, was topped out (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Xinjiang Guoyang New Energy, a local energy developer, has released the EPC tender results for its 1 GW PV project in the northeastern desert of Midong District, Urumqi. The project involves an investment of RMB 3.05 billion and includes a 4 million kWh standalone storage system.
The company has shortlisted 3 bidders as the preferred EPC contractors: China Railway 11th Bureau Group with a bid of RMB 2.273/W; CCCC Second Harbor Engineering with a bid of RMB 2.274/W; and China Railway 17th Bureau Group with a bid of RMB 2.277/W. The EPC scope covers design, equipment procurement, installation and commissioning, construction, grid connection, and project delivery.
China’s New Energy Consumption Monitoring and Early Warning Center released renewable-energy utilization data for October 2025. National PV utilization in October reached 94.8%, down 0.2 percentage points from 95% in September, its third consecutive month-on-month decline since August. In contrast, wind utilization reached 96.4%, rising from 95.4% in September.
From January to October, cumulative PV and wind utilization rates were 94.9% and 94.4%, compared with 97.1% and 96.4% in the same period last year.
According to a recent report from China’s National Energy Administration (NEA), the national solar power utilization rate stood at 96.8% for 2024, down 1.1 percentage points YoY (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Chint Power, the energy-storage arm of Chint Group and sister company to Astonergy, announced that its 125 kW/261 kWh outdoor C&I storage cabinet has successfully completed an open-door combustion test jointly witnessed by CSA Group and US-based PE. The company stated that the test simulated conditions in which the cabinet door unintentionally opens and oxygen is fully supplied, while the active fire-suppression system is disabled. Throughout the test, the BCD cabinet’s cell temperature remained well below the venting threshold, communication was uninterrupted, voltage stayed normal, and the fire self-extinguished without spreading to adjacent cabinets.
The test followed the CSA C800 standard and simultaneously aligned with draft UL 9540A system-level combustion evaluation requirements. Chint Power claims it to be the world’s first open-door fire test that complies with both standards.
