World's largest hydro-solar power station

The first phase of the world's largest hydro-solar power station at the highest altitude went into operation on Sunday.

As the first phase of the Lianghekou hydropower plant's hydro-PV complementary project, the Kela photovoltaic power station located in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze, southwest China's Sichuan Province.

As a landmark project of the Yalong River clean energy demonstration base, the first phase of the power station has an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts and can generate an average of 2 billion kilowatt-hours annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1.6 million tonnes per year.

The demonstration base, once completed, will have an installed capacity of 100 million kilowatts and is expected to produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours annually, which is sufficient to meet the power demand of 100 million households.
