The new hybrid PV-hydropower complex, when completed, will become the world&#8217;s biggest power plant of its sort. The project&#8217;s hydroelectric component has an adaptable capacity of up to 6.56 billion cubic metres of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Yalong River Hydropower Development is spending<strong> CNY 5.3 billion ($791 million)<\/strong>\u00a0in the solar complex, which will be built on a highlands between 4,000 and 4,600 metres above sea level. It will be linked to the hydropower facility via an existing 220 kV transmission line as well as a new 500 kV line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">More than <strong>2 million solar panels<\/strong> and over <strong>5,000 inverters<\/strong> will be installed at the solar project. The modules will be put at a height of 1.9 metres to allow vegetation to grow beneath them and to provide grazing area for cattle and sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The solar power plant will be completed by the end of 2023, according to Yalong River Hydropower Development. The company proposes to construct <strong>80 GW<\/strong> of renewable energy capacity in the Yalong River basin as the exclusive developer of energy infrastructure, comprising <strong>40 GW<\/strong> of solar and wind power and 10 GW of pumped-hydro storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Yalong Hydropower is held jointly by the government-owned China Development and Investment Corp. and the Sichuan Investment Group, the provincial government&#8217;s major investment entity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yalong Hydropower is constructing a 1 GW solar park on the Yalong River in southwestern China, which will be linked to an active 3 GW hydropower complex.
