我国首个百万千瓦级高原山地光伏工程投运

Core Insights - The Huadian Batang 1.2 million kW photovoltaic power generation project has officially commenced operation, marking a significant milestone in China's "14th Five-Year Plan" for clean energy development [1][6] - This project is the first of its kind in China to achieve "start and operation in the same year" for a million-kilowatt-level high-altitude photovoltaic project, contributing to the establishment of a new energy system and the implementation of the energy power strategy in high-altitude regions [1][6] Project Details - Located in the snow-capped plateau of Batang, Sichuan, the project features 2.17 million photovoltaic modules spread over 25,000 acres, along with 122 kilometers of transmission lines and two 220 kV intelligent booster stations [3] - During construction, the project set industry records by installing 1,600 string units per day and driving 15,800 piles, while overcoming technical challenges related to high-altitude ice resistance, seismic stability, and frozen soil foundation [3] Economic and Environmental Impact - As a key component of the upper reaches of the Jinsha River clean energy base, the project has created over 2,000 local jobs during its construction, promoting a model that integrates power generation, livestock farming, landscape creation, and local economic development [5] - Once operational, the project is expected to deliver 2.1 billion kWh of green electricity annually to Central China, saving approximately 640,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 1.7 million tons, thereby playing a crucial role in national energy security and the achievement of carbon neutrality goals [6]
