4 FAQs about Hydro-solar power plant

What is the world's largest hydro-solar power plant?

The world's largest and highest-altitude hydro-solar power plant, which generates power through a water-light complementary manner, entered full operation in China on Sunday. For the first time, the Kela photovoltaic power station boasts of an installed capacity scale of 1 million kilowatts for a hydro-solar power grid.

What is China's largest hybrid solar power plant?

China is a global leader in developing renewable energy, and the Kela photovoltaic (PV) power station is adding to the country's energy mix as the world's largest hybrid solar-hydropower plant. The Kela station idea was formed by the Design and Research Institute of Power China Chengdu in 2016.

Why do we need a hydro power plant?

The hydropower component can help to regulate all instability in such supply manner, therefore, providing stable and high-quality clean energy. How big is Kela? The Kela PV power plant is next to National Highway 318, a key transport route linking Sichuan and the neighboring Xizang Autonomous Region.

How many GW a year will a solar-hydropower plant produce?

The plant commenced operations on 25 June. The solar-hydropower project has an installed capacity of 1 GW and will have a generation capacity of 2 GWh annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1.6 million tonnes per year. The planned total installed capacity of the hybrid project is expected to be 3 GW.
