At 10:18 on January 18, 2022, the 12MW distributed photovoltaic power generation project of Longhua Agriculture and Animal Husbandry of Beijing Energy International was connected to the grid for power generation. The project is located in Longhua Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Breeding Base in Yantang Town, Chaling County, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, with a construction area of nearly 100,000 square meters.
The innovative mode integrates new energy and animal breeding, with all photovoltaic modules laid on the roof structure of factory building, which is light, stable, easy to maintain, and has excellent heat insulation performance for factory building, which is beneficial to farming and animal husbandry. By installing the remote monitoring and early warning system, it realizes remote duty and digital control, greatly improves the operation efficiency and slashes the cost.
The project is by far the largest distributed photovoltaic project in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province. It has laid the groundwork for Longhua Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to realize the dual carbon goal at an early date, bolstering local green and low-carbon development. The project can supply electricity for its self-use, with the surplus connected to the grid. When power grid connection is fully completed, it is estimated that the average annual power generation is about 11.64 million kWh, annual standard coal saving around 3,662.4 tons, CO2 emission around 9,147.8 tons, SO2 emission about 72.3 tons, and nitrogen oxide emission nearly 24.3 tons. In addition, a large amount of ash, soot and wastewater emission as well as energy is saved, which secures tangible environmental and social benefits.
Longhua Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd. is a circular ecological breeding enterprise operating across the whole industrial chain under the listed company TRS Group. The TRS Group is a national key leader in agricultural industrialization focusing on the whole industry chain of pigs breeding. It has cultivated many brands such as Camel, TRS and Meishen, and developed five major business segments, namely, variety improvement, safe feed, healthy breeding, meat processing and brand store. It has established more than 100 subsidiaries in more than 20 provinces in China, making it one of China’s top 500 manufacturing industries and top 500 most valuable brands.
