Core Viewpoint - The central economic work conference at the end of 2024 proposed accelerating the construction of the "Shago Desert" new energy base, emphasizing the integration of photovoltaic power generation and desertification control in Qinghai province [1][10]. Group 1: Photovoltaic Development - Qinghai has identified 100,000 square kilometers of desertified land suitable for photovoltaic and wind power generation [1][8]. - The region has established a large-scale ecological photovoltaic power generation project, significantly reducing wind speed by 50% and soil moisture evaporation by 30%, while achieving 80% vegetation coverage [4][10]. - The construction of photovoltaic parks has transformed previously barren land into productive areas, contributing to both economic and ecological benefits [3][4]. Group 2: Economic and Ecological Benefits - The introduction of photovoltaic systems has led to a substantial increase in grass production, estimated at 118,000 tons annually, which can support nearly 80,000 sheep [5][6]. - The "Photovoltaic Sheep" brand has been developed, allowing local farmers to save significant costs on feed, with one cooperative saving over 130,000 yuan in 2024 [6][7]. - The integration of photovoltaic systems with local agriculture has improved livestock management and contributed to poverty alleviation efforts [6][9]. Group 3: Industry Growth and Infrastructure - Qinghai's clean energy installed capacity has reached 57.69 million kilowatts and continues to grow, supported by the synergy between clean energy and desertification control [8][10]. - The establishment of a complete photovoltaic industry chain in Xining has attracted over 26 companies, enhancing local economic development [9]. - The province is actively promoting the use of desertified land for photovoltaic projects, aiming to streamline approval processes and enhance project quality [10].
