The solar power project is expected to begin operations in 2012 and will support China’s renewable energy production goal of 15GW by 2015.

GSHHSD chairman Xingjie Zhu said, "We are impressed with JinkoSolar’s integrity, stable operation and excellent product quality. We believe that JinkoSolar is in a position to provide us with first-class photovoltaic products that meet our needs. It is also our hope that this partnership will give impetus to even more wide-spread solar energy applications."

Located in the city of Zhangye in Gansu province, the solar project is expected to connect with the state-operated grid in 2012.
