China has plans for the largest solar power plant to-date. It would cover 25 square miles and power 3 million homes.Sandra Acaro at Gizmag.com reports:
"The Chinese government has announced its intention to construct a 2-gigawatt solar power plant in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. Mike Ahearn, CEO of the Arizona-based company which will construct the plant, describes the unprecedented project as “an encouraging first step forward toward the mass-scale deployment of solar power worldwide to help mitigate climate change concerns.” As outlined in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between First Solar and the Chinese government, the project will be developed in four phases over a nine-year period, with Phase 1 beginning 1 June 2010 and Phase 4 to be completed by 2019. Phase 1 will initiate a 30-megawatt demonstration project, while Phases 2, 3 and 4 will consolidate a further 100 megawatts, 870 megawatts and 1000 megawatts respectively.
The magnitude of the development is many times greater than any solar plant in operation or even contemplated, including projects such as the 290-megawatt Starwood Solar Iand the 500-megawatt solar thermal project in the Mojave Desert. If successful, the Ordos plant will cover a staggering 25-square miles, cost billions of dollars and power 3 million Chinese homes." See full article.
Dear Mr. Coyle,
ReplyDeleteAs I said in my phone message last week, I am a fellow Temple Law alum interested in climate and energy policy and technology, especially as it relates to China. I know you must be very busy, but I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your work at NWF. I can be reached at fzachary@temple.edu. Please let me know if there is a convenient time for you to meet with me.
Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Zach Friedman
I think that it is amazing what China is doing for the development of the Solar Energy in the world. If they do a excellent work. Other government will want to invest in this kind of project. it is the same with Generic Viagra. that It got popular for the amazing job that they did with it.
