China's largest desert solar photovoltaic (PV) base, located at Tengger Desert in Zhongwei, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, has started construction, local newspaper Ningxia Daily reported on Sunday, marking an important step in the national development of new energy infrastructure amid the country's push for carbon neutrality.
Expected to be completed by 2030, the project will span 250 miles in length and 3 miles in width, with a maximum capacity of 100 gigawatts. China's rapid expansion of solar power is a significant step in addressing global climate challenges.
Located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, it is the country's 3rd largest solar power plant. China's National Energy Administration aimed to install solar plants in this area. After successful completion of the project's 1st phase in 2016, this solar plant now has a total capacity of 1.1 gigawatts.
China aims to solve this with the West-East Power Transmission and Western Development initiative by setting up renewable energy projects in sparsely populated western regions. As part of this initiative, it has now converted a former coal mining site into its largest single-capacity solar power plant.
The total project investment is RMB12 billion ($1.65 billion). The Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station is also special because it hosts the first large-scale outdoor solar testing base in the Gobi desert, helping China gather more data on setting up solar power plants in challenging environments.
