6 FAQs about [China solar battery farm]

Where is the world's largest solar farm?

The world’s largest solar farm, in the desert in northwestern Xinjiang, is now connected to China’s grid. The 3.5-gigawatt (GW), 33,000-acre solar farm is outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital. The state asset regulator’s website cited the Power Construction Corp of China and said it came online on Monday.

Where is solar power generated in China?

Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.

What is the world's largest solar farm in Xinjiang?

The world’s largest solar farm in Xinjiang is part of China’s megabase project, a plan to install 455 GW of wind and solar. The megabase projects are sited in sparsely populated, resource-rich areas and send their generated energy to major urban centers, such as on China’s eastern seaboard.

How much power does a Chinese solar farm use?

So while a Chinese solar farm may be billed as having a capacity of, say, 200 megawatts, less than a sixth of that on average actually gets used. The reasons for a low capacity factor can include things over which we have no control, such as the weather. But China’s capacity factors are unusually low.

What is China's largest solar plant?

China continues its relentless expansion of solar power capacity, now home to the world’s largest solar plant. The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. This $3 billion flagship project demonstrates the epic scale of renewable infrastructure developing worldwide.

How big is China's solar farm?

Correction: My story initially stated that the solar farm is on 200,000 acres. The original Chinese source says the area is 200,000 mu, a Chinese unit representing 1/15 hectares, so the total area is about 33,000 acres. The story also stated that the solar farm is 5 GW. It has been corrected to 3.5 GW.
