KASHGAR, China, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 18th, with the successful grid connection and commencement of power generation from the 500,000-kilowatt photovoltaic projects of China Power Smart Magaiti and Shaanxi Investment Magaiti, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power in the Kashgar power grid exceeded 9 million kilowatts. This milestone signifies a significant breakthrough in the development of Kashgar’s 10 million kilowatt-level photovoltaic base.
Kashgar Prefecture is endowed with abundant solar energy resources, a unique geographical environment, and extensive land resources. The region enjoys long annual sunshine hours and a high number of annual utilization hours, making it highly suitable for the large-scale construction of photovoltaic power stations. In recent years, State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company has implemented a comprehensive “one-stop” service for the entire process of new energy grid connection. By forming a dedicated team and adopting methods such as telephone consultations, on-site visits, and organizing symposiums, the company has effectively monitored the progress of new energy projects, coordinated solutions to challenges encountered, and implemented multiple measures to expedite the construction of grid connection projects, ensuring the maximum possible grid connection of all projects.
Focusing on the construction of the new energy system and the new power system, the company has deepened the multi-party coordinated control mechanism of “source-grid-load-storage,” fully leveraging the coordinating role of the local area. It has promoted the construction of the Ba-Ka II Hui and Ku-A-Ba 750-kilovolt transmission and transformation projects, enhancing the main power grid structure and increasing the regional capacity for receiving and transmitting new energy. These efforts have facilitated the transformation of local resource advantages into industrial advantages. Additionally, the company has conducted research on the layout of independent energy storage and promoted the construction of approved independent energy storage projects, providing robust support for the region’s goal of establishing an energy base with a capacity exceeding 10 million kilowatts.
Moving forward, State Grid Kashgar Power Supply Company will continue to provide high-quality grid connection services for new energy projects, fully advancing the timely grid connection of the 300,000-kilowatt photovoltaic project of Huadian Jiashi. This will ensure the completion of Xinjiang’s first 10 million kilowatt-level photovoltaic base by the end of May.
