Beijing, January 22 (Youth.cn) - On January 20, 2025, aerial photographs of the Xiaoshan Environment Group’s Linjiang Water Treatment Plant 30Mwp Distributed Solar Photovoltaic System are captured.

Recently, the largest distributed solar photovoltaic system within a water treatment plant in China - Xiaoshan Environment Group’s Linjiang Water Treatment Plant 30Mwp Distributed Solar Photovoltaic System - was connected to the grid. With an installed capacity of 30 megawatt peak, the system makes use of the plant’s space, powering the water treatment process, while transmitting the rest of the electricity generated to the grid. Expected to transmit around 30 million kilowatt-hours every year, the system can save some 8,500 tons of coal consumed for the production of the same amount of energy, reducing nearly 25 thousand tons of carbon dioxide.
