Photovoltaic project powering desert industry

The Kubuqi desert, the seventh largest desert in China, is home to the Kubuqi photovoltaic desertification control project, which stands strong as a beacon of green construction.

The project has been carried out by PowerChina Hubei Group and adopted a new type of industrial model. Since its completion, the project can connect to the grid and generate electricity totaling around 4.1 billion kilowatt hours, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions which can help build an ecological security barrier in the Northern region and guarantee ecological security.

Since its construction in 2021, the workers of the project have had to overcome many difficulties and made joint efforts to push forward its construction which has helped to promote the desert ecosystem management.
