China National Petroleum Corporation’s Xinjiang Oilfield has made significant progress in developing a solar power project known as “New Green.” This project aims to enhance the efficiency of renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions.
As of May 20, 2025, the project has successfully established its operational capabilities. The initiative is a crucial step towards integrating green energy into the local energy mix and represents a commitment to sustainable development.
The project is located near the Xinjiang Oilfield, utilizing advanced solar generation systems. Under the bright sun, solar panels are installed, showcasing a blend of renewable energy technologies aimed at achieving a beautiful and eco-friendly environment.
Starting from November 2024, the Xinjiang Oilfield will commence operations of a solar power station. The project is projected to generate an impressive 1.85793 billion kWh of electricity annually, averaging 740 million kWh per year. This output is expected to meet the local electricity demand, significantly reducing energy costs for the company.
Moreover, the solar power station is projected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1.24 million tons annually and decrease other pollutants by around 0.57 million tons, contributing positively to the environment.
In recent years, the push for carbon neutrality has intensified, prompting the Xinjiang Oilfield to adopt a “green transformation” strategy. This involves accelerating the construction of modern solar facilities and optimizing resource utilization.
The project aims to ensure compliance with environmental standards while maintaining a focus on efficiency and sustainability. The integration of solar energy is expected to bolster the company’s image as a leader in the green energy sector.
Looking ahead, the Xinjiang Oilfield remains committed to advancing renewable energy technologies, further expanding its green energy applications.
Additionally, the project will utilize BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) technology, with a total capacity of 609 kW to support self-generated electricity.
As electricity costs become a significant concern for oilfield operations, the implementation of this solar initiative is expected to alleviate financial burdens while promoting environmental sustainability.
The Xinjiang Oilfield project signifies a shift towards a more sustainable energy future, demonstrating the potential for renewable energy to transform traditional oil production practices. The commitment to “green energy” is a vital part of the company’s strategy to navigate the evolving energy landscape.
In conclusion, the Xinjiang Oilfield’s solar project marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of renewable energy and environmental responsibility. The initiative not only highlights the potential of solar energy but also sets a precedent for similar projects across the region.
