Changzhou has taken a major step forward in industrial energy transformation with the official launch of an 11.4-megawatt distributed photovoltaic (PV) project at the GDH Changzhou Airport Industrial Park. Completed in a record-breaking 63 days, the project sets a new benchmark for the rapid deployment of green infrastructure in traditional industrial zones.

Energy upgrades have long posed challenges for older factory buildings. Seizing this opportunity, Changzhou Binjiang State-Owned Holding Group, through its subsidiary Changzhou Furuida Energy Co., Ltd., developed a “zero-cost renovation” model. Under this scheme, businesses make no upfront investment and share in the electricity generation revenues, allowing them to transition to clean energy without financial burden.

To overcome logistical and technical constraints, the project team adopted an innovative, flexible construction approach—working in staggered time slots and divided zones. By revitalizing 93,000 square meters of idle rooftop space, the team created a green energy matrix capable of generating 12 million kilowatt-hours annually. The installation is expected to reduce carbon emissions by an amount equivalent to planting 373 hectares of green space and cut the park’s energy intensity by 43 percent.

Jiang Jianfeng, general manager of Furuida Energy, said the company plans to expand its specialized energy services to help more industrial parks unlock the potential of their rooftop assets. The goal is to deliver cost savings and operational efficiency while accelerating the green transformation of the manufacturing sector.
