The plant has a total capacity of 6.09 billion kWh, which is enough to a small country for an entire year. China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang.
China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 33,000 acres (200,000 Chinese mu) and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually. The new plant is in the deserts near the region’s capital Ürümqi.
China has led the world in solar power adoption, boosting its capacity in 2023 by more than 50 per cent. The new solar farm overtakes the Ningxia Teneggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar projects, which are both also in China, to become the largest in the world.
BEIJING, June 3 (Reuters) - A Chinese state-owned company said on Monday it had connected the world's biggest solar plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang.
The two largest operational solar facilities previously were also in western China - Longyuan Power Group's Ningxia Tenggeli desert solar project and China Lüfa Qinghai New Energy's Golmud Wutumeiren solar complex, both with a capacity of 3GW, according to the Global Energy Monitor's solar power tracker.
Prior to commissioning, Chinese state-owned utility Huanghe Hydropower Development started operating the world's largest solar park, a 2.2 GW facility, in October 2020. China Construction Eighth Engineering Division Corp and Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) carried out the construction of the Mindong project in stages.
