China Dunhuang Building The World's Largest Photovoltaic Power Station

Recently, the total installed capacity of 100,000 kilowatts, the world's largest comprehensive utilization of solar photovoltaic power generation projects and networks set up China's Dunhuang City, the concession tender has been launched, marking the station construction has entered a substantive stage.

Dunhuang City, Gansu Province in the western end of the Hexi Corridor, a total area of 31,200 square kilometers, the average sunshine hours of 3362 hours, sunlight radiation amounted to 6882.1 MJ / square meters, the number of days less dust, flat open terrain, is an expert Recognized world-class solar energy-rich region. The project, when completed, will become the world's largest photovoltaic power stations, and promote China's western photovoltaic similar projects in other provinces and the development of relevant industries.

Experts believe that, Dunhuang City, the rich resources of sunlight and the power transmission facilities and traffic conditions for rapid growth in the power load and large-scale photovoltaic power generation systems and networks and provide a guarantee is to implement "China's desert optoelectronic engineering" Ideal region.
