The inauguration ceremony of the Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd. solar power generation project was successfully held.
The solar power project at Michelin's largest global factory , Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd., is developed, invested in, constructed, and operated by Qingtian Technology Group. The project, spanning three years and implemented in three phases, has a total installed capacity of approximately 25.808 megawatts. Over 25 years, this power station will provide Michelin with approximately 660 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, replacing approximately 300,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 700,000 tons, equivalent to planting 1.95 million trees. This represents a groundbreaking contribution to achieving the company's green factory goals. Every tire produced at the Michelin Shenyang factory in the future will be powered by this green electricity, running globally.
On May 9, 2023, Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd. held a grand ceremony to mark the completion of its solar power generation project. Mr. Zhang Tao, President of Jiangsu Qingtian and Head of the Michelin Project Leadership Team, together with Mr. Joachim Teixeira, Asia Pacific Industrial Director of Michelin Group, Mr. Christophe Gelloz, General Manager of Michelin Shenyang Tire Co., Ltd., and their respective teams, witnessed this wonderful moment.
Leveraging its experience with thousands of solar power projects in industrial and commercial facilities, SunnyTech showcased the application of solar power in various scenarios within the factory area in this project, including corrugated steel roofs, TPO flexible roofs, photovoltaic parking sheds, and hydro-solar hybrid systems. SunnyTech's excellent business team, rigorous contract fulfillment capabilities, outstanding engineering quality control, and efficient operation and maintenance response in complex weather conditions earned high praise from the Michelin management team.
With the successful commissioning of the project at full capacity, it will undoubtedly become an outstanding commercial case of solar power generation globally, vividly demonstrating the advantages of distributed power generation such as "energy saving and environmental protection, land saving, heat insulation and cooling, convenient maintenance, and adaptability to local conditions".
Mr. Zhang Tao, President of Jiangsu Qingtian Technology Co., Ltd. and Head of the Michelin Project Leadership Team, stated at the event: “Three years ago, when I first came to Shenyang to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Qingtian Technology’s first photovoltaic power station in Northeast China, the ‘Michelin Project Phase I,’ I quoted the famous saying, ‘A small spark can start a prairie fire.’ Now, three years later, I am here again on behalf of the company, and I am very gratified to see our teams overcome numerous difficulties and finally bring this beautiful blueprint to fruition. In these three years, starting with the Michelin Shenyang project, we have established several industrial and commercial photovoltaic power stations and residential photovoltaic power stations in Northeast China. Qingtian Technology is putting into practice its mission and vision of ‘enabling more people to use clean energy and share the benefits of photovoltaics.’ We are confident that we will continue to increase our investment and construction efforts across the country and even globally, contributing our strength to the construction of green factories and green villages.”
