China's Solar Megaproject: The 'Solar Great Wall' to Power Beijing by 2030! China embarks on an ambitious journey to power its capital with clean energy by constructing a massive solar farm extending through Inner Mongolia's sunny Kubuqi Desert, a project coined as the 'Solar Great Wall'.
The project's primary objective is to construct a massive solar farm capable of generating a staggering 100 gigawatts of power by the year 2030, which is expected to supply sufficient electricity to power the bustling city of Beijing.
Li Kai, an energy official in Dalad Banner, where part of the great solar wall is located, told the state-sponsored media outlet China Daily: "All of the projects are invested in by state-owned companies, some of which are centrally administered ones, and so local governments don't have to make any investment at all.
This initiative aims to establish a vast solar farm in the Kubuqi Desert, generating 100 gigawatts of power by 2030. By achieving this goal, China aims to cut down reliance on fossil fuels, reduce carbon emissions, and set a global precedent in renewable energy infrastructure.
