4 天之前· China connected one of its largest photovoltaic (PV) projects in Ruoqiang, northwest China''s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Wednesday. The four-gigawatt facility, located on the southeastern rim of the Taklimakan Desert, is a solar project with the largest single-installed capacity set in the country''s sandy areas, rocky areas and deserts.
While the investment required for solar thermal power plants remain high, China is working to reduce costs and promote commercialization. According to the China Solar Thermal Alliance, the cost of electricity from tower solar thermal plants is expected to drop to 0.61 yuan per kilowatt-hour (kWh) by 2025 and to about 0.53 yuan per kWh by 2027.
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.
China plans to build 450 gigawatts of solar and wind power generation capacity on the Gobi and other desert regions, the state planner said in March.
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. Traveling to the Tengger Desert Solar Park in northwestern China, rows upon rows of solar panels extend endlessly under the barren sky.
With Hami Solar Thermal Power Plant as a landmark project for the city, Hami has connected 16.208 million kW of installed capacity of new energy to the grid, the largest capacity in Xinjiang, by the end of 2023.
"Building a photovoltaic power station in the desert is not easy, and requirement for solar equipment is higher due to the windy and sandy environment in the desert," Miao Ruijun, deputy head of Mengxi New Energy Dalad Photovoltaic Power Station in SPIC Nei Mongol Energy Co, told the Global Times at the site on Saturday.

The largest solar park in the world now stands in China''s northwestern Ningxia province. Sprawling across 43 square kilometers (17 square miles), the Tengger Desert Solar Park provides China with 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of new solar generation capacity. But don''t expect the Tengger facility to hold that "largest" status for long.
The results show that the potential for large-scale PV power plants in China''s deserts is significant, with 69.4 % of the region assessed as medium or higher. The most suitable area is 12.7 × 10 4 km 2 (7.6 % of the overall study area), mainly centered in the Tibetan Plateau''s Qaidam Basin Desert and the deserts of northern China ...

Lava Solar Thermal Power Plant, Gobi Desert: with 12,000 mirrors, China''s largest molten salt solar thermal power station in the Gobi Desert can reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 350,000 tonnes, equivalent to afforesting some 666.67 hectares of land.
The solar farm is home to China''s first utility-scale outdoor solar testing hub in the desert, proving that massive solar projects can thrive in even the harshest conditions. Earlier in 2024, China switched on a 3.5-gigawatt solar farm in the Xinjiang region, which is considered the world''s largest solar plant and includes over 5 million solar panels .
