Urumqi Chaiwopu wind farms
1 min readIn addition to Hami, the photovoltaic industry in other places is also developing in full swing.
Solar radiation resource in Xinjiang ranks the second in China. The vast desert land resource, abundant quartz silica resource and the location advantage of opening to the west, all of which are in favor of building large solar power plants, improving the competitiveness of the photovoltaic industry, and building the photovoltaic industry base facing Central Asia and Western Asia.
Today, the construction of photovoltaic industry zones in Xinjiang is accelerating, and it has initially formed four major photovoltaic industry gathering areas of Urumqi, Shihezi, Alar, and Kuitun-Dushanzi. Driven by the polysilicon industry, the industrial cluster of “coal-electricity-silicon (silica sand, industrial silicon, silicon carbide, etc.)”in Hami, Kuitun, Ili, Altay, Tarim Basin, and Tianshan Northern Slope Economic Zone has developed rapidly. In Shihezi, Kuitun, Turpan, Bole, Alar, Hetian and other places, there were more than ten large enterprises and groups built photovoltaic power plants only in 2012.
The national largest off grid 150kW photovoltaic power station manufactured and installed by Xinjiang New Energy Company rep Wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation are the only two esentatives of the strategic emerging industries in Xinjiang.
After the central Xinjiang work forum, seven green industries of new energy, new materials, biology, advanced equipment manufacturing, information, energy conservation and environmental protection, and clean energy vehicles have been identified as the strategic emerging industries in Xinjiang most of them are green industry.
