The winds of the Pacific Ocean, with plenty of water vapor, blow through the Cascade Mountains on the west coast of the United States, bringing abundant precipitation and a four-season climate to the northwestern plateau.
In 1778, the British captain Jay Cork led the crew to buy beaver skins, hence the name "Beaver State".
After 1830, thousands of Americans migrated from the Midwest to the Pacific coast of the Northwest. On the Oregon trail they walked, the ruts pressed out of the caravan could also be seen. This is Oregon, the 33rd state in the United States, with a mild climate and distinct seasons, with an average temperature of only about 16 degrees Celsius in July and forests covering as much as half the state's area.

Far to its far north, Washington State has towered for hundreds of years, and looking south, the California sun is fascinating.
Zhongsheng Energy Oregon State 74.5MW ground-based photovoltaic power plant phase I project is built in the southern Oregon four towns, above the blue sky, white clouds fluttering, surrounded by mountains in the distance, near the grass.

The 13.24MW Turkey Hill project in Malin
A month ago, amid the rumbling of excavators, four projects successfully broke ground.
At present, the project infrastructure work is in full swing, and when the modules are completed, a total of 40MW of ground-based photovoltaic power plants will be successfully settled here, becoming The first 1500V photovoltaic power plant in southern Oregon. When the project is connected to the grid, it is expected to bring more than 54 million kWh of clean electricity to local residents every year.
Project locations are Lakeview, Merrill, Malin, Dairy
A few months ago, Matthew Christensen, senior director of EPC at Zhongsheng Energy, came to the project site for the first time and recorded the beautiful scenery around the Turkey Hill project site with a drone.
"The Turkey Hill project is built on the interstate highway, the grass is green, surrounded by a farm community of local residents, the environment is very good, sparsely populated, about ten kilometers south, just to California."
But this pleasant environment has almost become a "stumbling block" for the project to advance as scheduled.
Construction of cable trench for the Merrill 10.49MW project
Before the start of the project, the municipal authorities composed of local residents made it clear that they hoped that the construction of the project would not destroy the local ecological beauty, and at the same time, it should be isolated from the highway and maintain a safe distance, otherwise it would not pass the construction approval.
"The concerns and objections of local residents have brought great challenges to the scheduled start of our project, and it is difficult to reconcile, so we have to start from the popularization of the basic knowledge of ground power stations, take the time to communicate with them, and actively coordinate with the local judicial organs to dynamically adjust the design plan of the power station construction, add a fence that plays an isolating role around the project, and finally make a mutually satisfactory plan, which can make the project start on schedule." Matthew Christensen said.

"Zhongsheng's many years of experience in overseas power station construction and delivery, as well as German quality engineering and technical capabilities, have given the local judiciary strong confidence, and after several weeks of communication, we finally obtained construction approval and avoided the additional costs added in the construction of the power station."
When the foundation laying of the Turkey Hill 13.24MW project is in progress
In the view of Jimmy Wang, project management director of Zhongsheng Energy, the difficulties encountered by the Oregon project are not just as simple as coordinating with the local government:
"This is the first 1500V ground-based photovoltaic power plant built by Zhongsheng in Oregon, because there is no precedent, which puts high demands on the team in terms of technology, engineering and cost control." Our strict control of BOS system procurement and labor costs has effectively reduced the cost per watt of the power station and successfully improved the profit of the project. ”
After the project is connected to the grid, it will not only bring clean electricity to local residents for more than 20 years, but also produce great energy conservation and emission reduction effects, and it is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 53,000 tons per year and reduce the use of standard coal by 21,000 tons.
As the developer of the 74.5MW Oregon project, Zhongsheng Energy worked closely with emerging Markets Power Fund, a subsidiary of Poly Technology Co., Ltd., to provide a solid financial backing for the smooth implementation of the project. Based on a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA), the clean power output from the plant will be sold to PacifiCorp.
Zhongsheng Energy North Carolina Halifax Airport 30MW ground PV power plant project
Zhongsheng Energy is one of the first batch of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises specializing in the downstream business of power plants in overseas markets, and has been focusing on the investment and development of photovoltaic power plants in mainstream photovoltaic markets such as the United States. Up to now, Zhongsheng has developed and delivered more than 2GW of photovoltaic power plants in the world, and Zhongsheng has launched the ISE (Initiative, Structuring, Execution) project management system to provide a full range of project development and financing solutions, open up the interest nodes in the project development and management links, and effectively promote the smooth delivery and grid connection of the project.
As early as 2014, Zhongsheng successfully developed a 30-megawatt ground photovoltaic power plant project at the abandoned Halifax Airport in North Carolina on the east coast of the United States, and became one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in North Carolina and even the East Coast of the United States.
