On Tuesday, construction began on the latest phase of the Huadian Tibet Caipeng Photovoltaic Power Station located in Shannan Prefecture, Xizang Autonomous Region, China. This new development has set a record for the highest altitude photovoltaic power station worldwide at an elevation of up to 5,228 meters.
The second phase of this ambitious project spans elevations from 5,046 meters to 5,228 meters and features a robust capacity of 100 megawatts, powered by around 170,000 photovoltaic panels. The project includes a state-of-the-art energy storage system that can consistently produce 80,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity for up to four hours overnight.
This crucial power station is set to play an integral role in supplying energy in Xizang, with a target capacity of 150 megawatts upon completion. It is expected to produce around 246 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, greatly aiding the regional energy infrastructure.
Having launched its first phase at the close of 2023, the power station has already made significant strides. It has produced more than 40 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, alleviating seasonal power deficits in Shannan Prefecture and highlighting the project’s vital role in boosting regional development and energy stability.
