6 FAQs about [Desert solar power generation base]

Could a desert-solar power plant be a big idea?

The really big desert-solar ideas, like DESERTEC’s plan to power all of Europe with HVDC lines across the Mediterranean from north Africa, would require such a massive investment in transmission lines that they’re unlikely to move forward on meaningful timescales.

What is the Gobi Desert solar park?

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.

How much electricity will the Tengger Desert save?

Located in the Tengger Desert, the project, with a total installed capacity of 2 gigawatts, is expected to provide approximately 3.96 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, helping save more than 1.2 million metric tons of standard coal and reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3.29 million tons, it said.

How much does the Gobi solar project cost?

The project, with total investment of more than 85 billion yuan ($12.28 billion) and total installed capacity of 13 million kW, is the country's first in response to government ambitions to speed up construction of solar and wind power generation facilities in the Gobi and other parched regions amid efforts to boost renewable energy.

Will China speed up wind and solar power generation in dry regions?

As China plans to speed up construction of solar and wind power generation facilities in dry regions amid efforts to boost renewable power, the government launched the first phase of its wind and solar power projects at the end of 2021, comprising a total of 100 gigawatts of wind and solar power capacity in desert areas.

How many kilowatts will China's solar project generate a year?

The first phase of the solar and wind project located at Tengger Desert in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, with an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts, is expected to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt hours each year, equivalent to the power demand of 1.5 million households, said the company.
