Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station, China's largest single-capacity photovoltaic power plant built on coal mining subsidence area, was conneted to grid and started operation on November 5. The project is expected to generate 5.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, sufficient to power two million households. Each year, it can save 1.71 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4.7 million tons — equivalent to planting 62,700 hectares of trees. This project offers significant social, environmental and economic benefits.
Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station is connected to the grid.
Located in Otog Front Banner, Ordos, Inner Mongolia, Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station is a key project under the national West-East Power Transmission and Western Development initiative. The power station has an installed capacity of 3 million kilowatts, with over 5.9 million photovoltaic panels installed.
The power station site hosts the country's first large-scale outdoor photovoltaic testing base in a desert-Gobi-wasteland climate zone, providing an effective model for large-scale solar development in such areas.
Integrated installation of photovoltaic panels and mounting brackets.
The project also marks the first large-scale use of new rare earth alloy grounding materials, which has lowered overall costs by 40%.
The power station creates a photovoltaic + ecological scenario.
In addition, steel has been used instead of traditional concrete for the solar panel foundations, reducing the impact on the grassland ecosystem. This photovoltaic + ecological model effectively cuts reliance on fossil fuels, achieving substantial carbon and pollution reduction.
