Trina Solar Limited completed and connected three distributed generation (DG) projects totaling 27 MW to the grid in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, China, at the end of December 2015. Powered by approximately 110,000 Trina Solar "Honey" modules, the projects are installed on the rooftops of three large manufacturing factories located in the Suqian Economic & Technological Development Zone (SEDZ). Wholly owned by Trina Solar, the green electricity that the projects generate is expected to reach approximately 30 million kWh per year over the next 20 years, and is being supplied to the local grid to energize the SEDZ through power purchase agreements, which, on average, will reduce up to 29,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The projects are eligible for a 20-year benchmark on-grid tariff of 1.0 RMB/kWh based on the former feed-in-tariff program in China. In addition, the company will provide operations and maintenance services to the projects.
