The total installed capacity of the project is 25.5MW(3*8.5MW), the project activity is expected to operate 3,343 hours per year and the net grid-connected electricity generation of 77,760MWh and the annual estimated emission reduction is 67745 tCO2e. The power generated would be transmitted to Heyuan City Grid via the 110kV Lankou transformer substation, then to the Guangdong Provincial Grid, and finally to the China Southern power Grid (CSPG).
