REA Group to construct 20MW solar farm in China

Expected completion is by Q3 2013.

Renewable Energy Asia Group has obtained approval from the Gansu Development and Reform Commission for the construction of a 20-megawatt grid-connected solar farm in Dongdongtan, Jiuquan Municipal, Gansu Province, China.

The Group estimates the total cost of investment for the solar farm to be approximately RMB226 million, which will be financed via internal resources and borrowings.

The Dongdongtan project is part of an agreement with the Jiuquan municipal government to develop renewable energy resources there.

REA Group plans to commence construction of the new solar farm by May 2013. Once completed, the solar farm is expected to contribute approximately 31.2 million kilowatt-hour of electricity to the national grid annually.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
