On August 13, the 100MW photovoltaic power generation project in Shannannai, Tibet, officially started, with an altitude of 5,046 meters to 5,228 meters, setting a new record for the highest altitude of 5,100 meters at the site of the first phase of the project, and becoming the world’s highest photovoltaic storage project under construction.
The 100MW photovoltaic power generation project is the second phase of the Tibet Huadian Shannan Caipeng project, which is led by the Kunming Institute of China Power Construction and the Ninth Bureau of Hydropower and jointly EPC general contracting. The project is located on a gentle hillside near Caipeng Village, Yadui Township, Naidong District, Shannan City, Tibet Autonomous Region, with 166,760 monocrystalline silicon modules and 32 transformers designed and installed in the site, with an estimated total construction period of 5 months. After completion, the annual average on-grid electricity is 155.57 million kW·hours, and the annual average equivalent full-load hours are 1,517 hours, which can save 46,800 tons of standard coal, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 129,400 tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by about 24.89 tons, and soot emissions by 4.98 tons, which plays an important role in ensuring local people’s livelihood electricity, promoting energy transition, and promoting ecological improvement.
