Jinko Technology Launches Integrated Microgrid Project in Jiangxi, Pioneering Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks

Jinko Technology’s Integrated Microgrid Project in Shangrao: A “Jiangxi Model” for Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks
With the successful integration of a 5.99MW rooftop photovoltaic array and nine energy storage cabinets, Jinko Technology has officially launched its first integrated microgrid project in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. This pioneering project represents a significant step towards energy transition, combining photovoltaic generation and smart energy management. The intelligent microgrid is expected to generate an annual output of approximately 6.48 million kilowatt-hours. Since its grid connection on March 21, it has already produced over 600,000 kilowatt-hours of green electricity and discharged more than 40,000 kilowatt-hours of stored energy.
The system intricately integrates photovoltaic power generation, peak regulation through energy storage, and 5G intelligent management technology, creating a dual demonstration model of “zero-carbon energy supply + intelligent manufacturing” for Jinko’s Shangrao Sixth Factory industrial park. This project aims to set a benchmark for integrated source-grid-load-storage systems at the provincial level, significantly contributing to Shangrao’s development as a demonstration city for photovoltaic new energy applications.
Creating a “Green Electricity Ecosystem” through Multi-Level Collaboration
From the rooftop of Jinko’s Shangrao manufacturing base, 40,000 square meters of deep blue photovoltaic panels gleam in the sunlight, continuously supplying power to the entire park. “We utilize advanced technologies such as virtual power plants to achieve ‘integrated source-grid-load-storage’ based on the industrial load of Jinko’s smart factory,” explains Guo Qizheng, a project manager. This model employs a digital platform to manage real-time energy supply and demand, effectively creating a “mini power market” within the park that enhances collaboration between power generation, storage, and consumption.
The accompanying 0.9MW/1.8MWh energy storage system, utilizing nine smart temperature-controlled cabinets, effectively manages peak and off-peak demand. Guo further elaborates that the energy storage system plays a crucial role in this microgrid project, storing excess electricity during peak supply and releasing it during shortages, thus stabilizing supply-demand balance and improving the reliability and flexibility of the power system. This also addresses the intermittency and volatility of distributed power sources, ensuring stable electricity supply within the park.
In the slicing workshop, 228 slicing machines operate in an orderly fashion. On-site staff report that Jinko’s smart factory is equipped with an intelligent central control platform, allowing one worker to monitor four machines instead of just one, leading to over a 60% increase in efficiency. Continuous intelligent monitoring from the backend helps avoid potential hazards, such as equipment overheating, by consolidating alerts for better operational safety and efficiency.
“Through our SAP and MES data platforms, we achieve comprehensive monitoring of all operational parameters and equipment yield rates,” the staff member explains. This data can be displayed through cloud networking and accessed visually in real-time via PC and mobile devices.
Data integration and intelligent management are equally important at the microgrid end. Guo states, “Our intelligent management system allows us to integrate and process data from various sections of the ‘source-grid-load-storage’ system, enabling minute-level load forecasting and scheduling allocation.” Operations personnel, Yin Li, also notes that the intelligent system can monitor all equipment in real-time and respond immediately to any downtime, ensuring efficient system operation.
In the microgrid control center, a digital display continuously updates the four data points of the “source-grid-load-storage”: real-time photovoltaic generation power, energy storage charge and discharge status, load curves from different workshops, and grid interaction parameters are all clearly visible.
Research indicates that by the end of 2024, China’s cumulative installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation will reach 370 million kilowatts, accounting for 42% of total photovoltaic installations. However, traditional distributed power stations often face challenges such as significant supply volatility and low grid compatibility. In contrast, Jinko Technology’s microgrid project effectively mitigates these issues by facilitating widespread access to distributed power sources and scientifically configuring storage devices, thereby optimizing energy supply structure and reducing waste.
The project plans to incorporate distributed power sources from three industrial parks, with a maximum anticipated capacity of 70MW. Additionally, several storage devices and charging stations are installed within the factory, further enhancing energy efficiency.
From Jiangxi to Nationwide: The Replicable “Jinko Model”
Guided by the strategic goals of “dual carbon” initiatives, the successful implementation of Jinko Technology’s Shangrao microgrid project not only establishes a “Jiangxi model” for energy transition in industrial parks but also provides a scalable solution for green manufacturing across the nation. The 2025 Energy Work Guidance emphasizes new technologies and models such as system-friendly renewable energy stations and smart microgrids as key directions for promoting self-reliance in energy technology.
The Shangrao municipal government places great importance on the development of the new energy industry, supporting Jinko Technology’s microgrid project as a demonstration site. The Shangrao Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee has committed to establishing this project as a provincial benchmark, coordinating efficient collaboration among local departments, enterprises, and State Grid to create favorable conditions for project development.
Currently, Jinko Technology’s microgrid model has been successfully replicated in multiple locations, demonstrating its feasibility and sustainability, while providing valuable experiences and replicable solutions for green transformation among Chinese manufacturing enterprises. As a leader in the green electricity operation sector, Jinko Technology has successfully launched several microgrids and large integrated source-grid-load-storage projects, with commercial distributed photovoltaic installations nearing 1.4GW, and has established long-term partnerships with industry giants like Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, JD, and SF Express.
Back at Jinko’s Shangrao Sixth Factory, as the setting sun casts a golden glow over the rooftop photovoltaic arrays, the harmonious interplay of light creates a stunning visual. The energy storage station’s indicator lights flash rhythmically, symbolizing the efficient operation and steadfast commitment of this microgrid system. This microgrid, which reduces carbon emissions by 5,132 tons annually, serves not only as an energy supply facility but also as a milestone in the journey toward green transformation for Chinese manufacturing enterprises. With tangible results, it provides a replicable and inspirational path toward sustainable development, guiding the industry toward a greener future.
