It plans to complete the solar park by September 2023. SPIC said it completed the pilot solar power plant near the town of Zhengdou, in China's Sichuan province. The Xingchuan Demonstration Photovoltaic Power Station is the first unit of a 600 MW project that SPIC is building in the area at a planned cost of CNY 3.2 billion ($444.2 million).
Located in Fuyang City of east China's Anhui Province, the new PV power station is constructed in a flooded area once used for coal mining of 867 hectares, with an overall installed gross capacity of 650,000 KW. With 1.2 million PV modules, the solar farm boasts an area equivalent to the size of 1,300 standard football fields.
It should also be noted that with the rapid development of China’s PV industry, increasingly more eastern provinces built large-scale PV power stations, including Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong Province. Areas of PV power stations for each province of China.

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.
China's largest floating photovoltaic (PV) power station, Anhui Fuyang Southern Wind-solar-storage Base floating PV power station, achieved full capacity grid connection on Wednesday.
