With the official release of Midea Group's Green Industry Strategy Upgrade and Case Collection, a new chapter in Midea's green industry era has officially begun.
Since the release of the "Smart Industry" strategy in 2023, Midea Group has continuously deepened the integration of intelligence and green concepts. Not only did it achieve a major strategic upgrade to "Green Industry" in 2024, but also during this process, it closely cooperated with partners from multiple fields and industries, accumulating numerous benchmark cases. This fully demonstrates Midea's leadership and practical capabilities in promoting the green transformation of the industry.
So far, Midea's green industry solutions have benefited more than 600,000 domestic and foreign industrial enterprises, spanning multiple key industries such as new energy, automotive, biomedicine, food and beverage, aerospace, and home appliance manufacturing. It has provided a powerful driving force for the high - end, intelligent, and green transformation of the global manufacturing industry.
Not long ago, Midea Hefei Washing Machine Factory won the honor of being a sustainable "Lighthouse Factory" by the World Economic Forum (WEF), marking the international authoritative recognition of Midea's green industry capabilities. "Lighthouse Factories" are hailed as "the world's most advanced factories." They are demonstration benchmarks for "digital manufacturing" and "Globalization 4.0" and are regarded as the forerunners of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Since 2018, the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company have launched a global project to select "Lighthouse Factories" to find examples of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. Currently, 90 factories from 22 industries around the world have been selected. Among them, there are 31 "Lighthouse Factories" in China, and Midea has 5 of them.
As a globally benchmarked "Lighthouse Factory", Midea Hefei Washing Machine Factory (hereinafter referred to as Midea Hefei Factory) has now achieved a full closed - loop between the power generation side of power production and the energy - consuming side of power consumption, enabling the optimized operation of the power system and efficient energy utilization. In Midea Hefei Factory, rows of distributed photovoltaics can be seen, which continuously provide clean and stable "green power" for the factory by harnessing sunlight. Behind this is the support of Midea Photovoltaic.
On the energy supply side, Midea Photovoltaic provides a zero - carbon industrial park solution for Midea Hefei Factory. This solution consists of BAPV (Building - Attached Photovoltaic) and photovoltaic parking sheds, with a total construction area of 177,000 square meters and an installed capacity of 22.83MW. Currently, relying on this solution, the factory has achieved a reduction of over 1 million yuan in electricity costs per year, with an average annual power generation of 22.17 million kWh, a reduction of 22,100.8 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to planting more than 12,000 trees. Over 25 years of project operation, the cumulative power generation will reach 554.25 million kWh, with a reduction of 805,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to planting more than 310,000 trees. At present, the factory achieved "carbon peak" in 2021. It is expected that by 2025, the photovoltaic power generation will exceed 30 million kWh, the proportion of green power in the factory will exceed 40%, and the total carbon emissions will decrease by 64%, achieving "carbon neutrality" at that time. It is worth mentioning that the factory has already won provincial and national - level green factory honors.
On the energy management side, Midea Photovoltaic's EMS (Energy Management System) energy management platform monitors, controls, and optimizes the energy flow and energy consumption in the energy system. It can monitor the operating status of energy equipment, energy consumption, and environmental conditions in Midea Hefei Factory in real - time, thus achieving efficient energy management and optimization. It can be said that it builds a visual intelligent brain for the energy management of the distributed photovoltaic project in Midea Hefei Factory.
