Unlike others, the Kela PV power station is equipped with an installed capacity scale of one million kilowatts for a hydro-solar power grid. Liu Xun, journalist at CGTN reports, “With a total installed capacity of three million kilowatts, electricity generated by Kela will be connected to the Lianghekou and then integrated into the power grid.”
The Kela PV station connected into the Lianghekou hydropower plant as a virtual generator breaks ground for the clean energy base building in China,” He Shengming, Deputy General Manager, Yalong Hydro said about the Kela power station’s opening. No items found.
The high-altitude Kela photovoltaic (PV) power station in Sichuan can save over 600,000 tons of standard coal annually by combining both solar and hydropower to produce electricity. World's Largest And Highest-altitude Hydro-solar Power Station Put Into Operation
The plant commenced operations on 25 June. The solar-hydropower project has an installed capacity of 1 GW and will have a generation capacity of 2 GWh annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1.6 million tonnes per year. The planned total installed capacity of the hybrid project is expected to be 3 GW.
The highest capacity hydro-solar power station currently in operation is the Longyangxia hydro-solar power station, which was certified by the Guinness World Records on June 26.
Today, covering an area of 609 square kilometers, this solar power base boasts a power generation capacity of 8,430 megawatts, making it the largest in the world, according to Qeyang, deputy director of the administration committee of the Hainan prefectural green energy industry park.
