On Sept. 27th, this project took the lead and became the first one to get synchronized in the industry this year at Huainan and Huaibei areas in Anhui province. This project has made full use of more than 1,500 hectares of water areas created due to mining subsidence in Nanping town, Suixi county, Huaibei city, with a total investment of 320 million RMB. More than 120,000 double-glazed PV modules produced by Trina Solar are used in the project, among which more than 10,000 modules are high-efficiency PERC monocrystal modules of Trina Solar. It is estimated that over 25 years after its synchronization, the power station will achieve 27,227 utilization hours and a total generation amount of about 1.091 billion kWh.

The 40MW floating system at Renlou Coal Mine in Huaibei will not only supply clean power for the local areas, which increases the share of renewable energy in power supply, but also achieve comprehensive treatment of the mining subsidence area, bringing wasted caved-in land into recyclable use and increasing income for the local people who lost their land to mining subsidence. In the meantime, the project will promote the industrial structure adjustment for the coal-dominated city, boost the revenue for the government and push the development of PV-related industries.
