State-owned power company China Three Gorges Renewables Group will build an 8 GW solar farm as part of a nearly $11 billion integrated energy project.
Good on China. Regardless of our political leanings, I think we can all agree that renewable energy development is a positive thing.
Hopefully it doesn’t just go to AI.
Don’t worry, I’m sure at least some of it is going to mine crypto.
“See that? All that used to be farmland”
I think the rest of the world should buy the subsidized Chinese solar cells, the Chinese government will go bankrupt and the rest of the world will get cheaper, cleaner energy.
Looks like the biggest one outside China is Inda’s Bhadla Solar Park at 2.2GW.
China’s biggest before this looks to be Gonghe Talatan Solar Park according to Wikipedia at 10.4GW, but I couldn’t find much info on it.
But this is huge either way! Glad they’re investing so much into renewables and hopefully mostly skipping coal and oil all together.
