The largest solar power plant in the world

Solar energy is developing by leaps and bounds and more powerful power plant entered literally every year. A recognized leader in the development of "green" energy are: China, India and the US, as well as to them is getting closer Worldwide Middle East. In this article I want to tell you about the top five at the moment solar power. So, let's begin.

Solar station Tengeri

We will start with you with the most powerful in the world of solar station Tengger Desert Solar Park, which is located in China. Geliostantsiyu This is also called "Great solar wall" and not casual. After the peak power station is 1.5 GWBut it is quite comparable to the powerful nuclear power plants.

It is located in the desert Tengeri and occupies 3.25% of its total area (43 square kilometers). Since the space next to the station enough and plans to increase it is, it is likely that the "Great Wall of solar" for a long time, will occupy a leading position.

Helio station Bhadla

Now let's move on to the second power station, which is called

Bhadla Solar Park. It is the largest facility for processing of sunlight into electricity in India.

This station is located in Jodhpur District, Rajasthan. And it covers an area of ​​40 square kilometers. At the moment, the power station is 1365 MW, But the station is under expansion, and by December 2019 it is assumed that the capacity will increase to 2 255 MWThat displays geliostantsiyu India as a global leader.

Indian authorities have high hopes for this project, and hope that in a short time to 17% of the country's electricity will be produced in solar power plants.

Solar power Longyang

And we come back to China, but rather on the Tibetan Plateau, where in an area of ​​30 square kilometers, the station is located Longyangxia Dam Solar Park capacity of 850 MW.

This station is located near the eponymous hydroelectric power 1280 MW and they work in tandem. Hydro- geliostantsii and complement each other in the decay times of the water level and cloudy weather.

Helio Power Villanueva

The largest power of two Americas, North and South is a Mexican Villanueva. The total capacity of complexes 828 MWAnd an object area is approximately 24 square kilometers.

Mexican government plans already to 2024, receives from the station to generate electricity of 35% of the total production volume.

Geliostantsiya Kamut

Now let's go back again to India, namely in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, where an area of ​​10 square kilometers of the station is located Kamuthi Solar Power Station, its capacity is equal to 648 MW. Solar panels are constantly cleaned by special robots, which are fed with electricity from the solar panels to be cleaned.

solar star

And closes our list of US solar station, which is located in the state of California in the United States Solar Star. The total capacity of the object is equal to 580 MW. Remarkably the regional authorities plan to 2045 to switch completely to energy consumption from renewable sources.

Now alternative (green) energy is at the stage of rapid development and every year are rising power. So in the UAE built the largest plant in the world Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park with a planned capacity of in 5 GW and, it seems, is not the limit.
