China Energy Construction Corporation has officially commenced the construction of the 60 MW floating photovoltaic project on September 28, 2025. This project is part of a green energy initiative, aiming to generate approximately 1.29 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
The floating photovoltaic project is the first to be launched under the New Energy Development Plan (2025-2034). It is located in the Jiangxi Province and is set to utilize advanced technology to optimize solar energy conversion on water surfaces, in contrast to traditional land-based solar power stations.
This project plans to install one 60 MW floating photovoltaic power station, along with one 150 MW substation and a 150 MW transmission line to facilitate energy distribution. It is estimated that once operational, the station will reduce carbon emissions by approximately 14.9 million tons annually.
Furthermore, the construction timeline is projected to generate over 1,600 job opportunities in the local area, significantly contributing to the community’s economic development.
The floating photovoltaic technology employed in this project will enhance the performance of solar panels, minimize land resource usage, and reduce evaporation rates, making it an efficient alternative to traditional solar installations.
After completion, the project is expected to save about 5.6 million tons of standard coal each year. The implementation of this project will also support local economic growth and promote sustainable energy production.
