China’s second-largest solar-panel maker, is planning to build in the western
Xinjiang region a power plant with 1 gigawatt of capacity, about
the same as a new nuclear reactor.
Trina signed a framework agreement with local authorities
in Turpan Prefecture to develop the ground-mounted solar farm,
the Changzhou, China-based company said yesterday in a
statement. It’s also planning a factory in the area to supply
components for the project.
“The solar plants will ensure a stable supply of clean
energy and improve reliability of electricity supply to the
surrounding regions,” Chief Executive Officer Gao Jifan said in
the statement.
The project will be built in phases over four years
starting in early 2014. The company expects the first two
phases, totaling 300 megawatts in capacity, to be completed and
connected to the grid by the end of next year.
Trina is China’s largest solar-panel maker after Yingli
Green Energy Holding Co.
