‘Sandy and mostly devoid of life’
A massive solar panel array in China is expected to exceed 7,000 megawatts of energy production by 2026. EnergiesMedia.
The Three Gorges Kubuqi Solar Park has been under construction since 2022, covering the Inner Mongolian desert with panels. It currently has over five gigawatts of installed capacity.
“Sandy and mostly devoid of life, the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia once had a reputation as the ‘sea of death’. More recently, the dune fields have become a sea of photovoltaic possibilities, transformed by the proliferation of newly installed solar panels.” NASA in question of the project. “The construction is part of China’s multi-year plan to build a ‘great solar wall’ designed to produce enough energy to power Beijing.”
Doing so has the potential to eliminate China’s heavy reliance on coal energy. This energy source produces some of the highest levels of pollution in the world, contributing to more destructive weather conditions and higher health costs for local people.
Scheduled to be completed in 2030, the Three Gorges Kubuqi Solar Park will be 250 miles long and 3 miles wide and will be able to produce 100 gigawatts of clean energy. Local people are also benefiting from the unexpected benefits of the project.
“These projects protect us from wind and sand, allowing our village to cultivate more than 10,000 mu (600 hectares) of high-standard agricultural land this year. If rented, the land can bring villagers 900 yuan ($128) per mu every year,” said local farmer Han Rongkuan. xinhua.
