Fishery-photovoltaic project aids green push
Chinese power workers are contributing to the country's green push by aiding local feature industries. In the city of Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, a fishery-photovoltaic complementary project is being built in Qiuji town that is designed to generate 38 million kilowatt-hours of power upon operation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by some 24,840 metric tons per year. State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Co has sent a team of experts to assist with the project, which is expected to realize an annual output value of 15 million yuan ($2.09 million). Qiuji is actively developing its village-level economy, constructing distributed PV on the 4,000-square-meter rooftop of Nizhuang village industrial park, yielding significant benefits.
