China Huaneng Puts into Operation the Floating PV Power Station with the Largest Single-Project Capacity in the World

On December 30, Huaneng Dezhou Dingzhuang 320MW floating PV power station was put into operation.

Huaneng Dezhou Dingzhuang 320MW floating PV power station is installed with the world’s largest single-project capacity, which refers to the installed capacity of a single project in an independent water area. It is part of Huaneng’s construction of a "wind-PV-storage integrated" power base in Dingzhuang of Dezhou. The Dingzhuang power base is listed as a major construction project in Shandong Province in 2020, owning a 320MW floating PV project, a 100MW onshore wind power project and the 8MW energy storage device. The floating PV and onshore wind power project share the booster station and transmission lines, successfully converging wind farm, PV station and storage device in the same site.

The floating PV project is constructed in two phases, occupying more than 7,000 mu of Dezhou Power Plant's own water area. The first phase was connected to the grid in full capacity on November 20, 2021, including a 200MW PV project and the supporting 8MWh high-efficiency energy storage device. The second phase is a 120MW PV project, which was put into operation on December 30, 2021. In addition, onshore wind power project in the power base has been connected to the grid in full capacity on June 27, 2020, and has generated a total of 267 million kWh of electricity.
