Sichuan Minhe Hydropower Investment Co., Ltd., a branch of China Energy, signed a cooperation agreement with Panzhihua Qinggangping Mining Co., Ltd. on June 15, according to which it earned the right to develop a 20MW photovoltaic project in the latter’s Shejiawan dumping site.

The project, located in Miyi County, Sichuan Province, has an installed capacity of 20MW and a total investment of 110 million yuan. It is the largest distributed photovoltaic power station in the province.
