China's semi-desert region to host 50MW solar plant

Trina Solar has obtained approval to develop a 50MW grid-connected solar project in Wuwei, Gansu.

The semi-desert region in north-west China is said to be well suited for solar energy, with high irradiance and the ability to sell surplus power to other parts of the country as well as supply its own needs.

"We are delighted to have been granted the rights to develop this solar project in Wuwei, Gansu province. This project will bring not only job opportunities to the Wuwei region of Gansu, but also environmentally friendly renewable energy which is vital to the overall economic development of the region," said Jifan Gao, Chairman and Chief Executive of Trina.
