Hami solar thermal power station a green model

Zhang Yanli, from State Grid's Hami branch, said that in contrast to photovoltaic panels that fail to generate electricity at night and wind power generators that can easily be affected by weather changes, the solar thermal power station can generate power steadily with lower costs and higher efficiency.

Xinjiang started to provide a stable power supply to other places across the country in 2010, when it supplied 3 billion kWh. Last year it supplied 105 billion kWh, earning the region's power industry more than 100 billion yuan since 2010.
