In the serene landscapes of southwest China’s Sichuan Province, a groundbreaking project is redefining renewable energy.
The Kela Photovoltaic Power Station, perched on the Yalong River in Garze Zang Autonomous Prefecture, stands as the world’s largest and highest-altitude hydro-photovoltaic power facility.
Spanning 16 square kilometres—an area comparable to 80 times the size of China’s National Stadium—this state-of-the-art station features over 2 million photovoltaic modules, 5,000 inverters, and 300 transformers. Together, these components harness the power of water and sunlight to generate sustainable energy.
Operating at altitudes between 4,000 and 4,600 metres, the Kela station is part of the Lianghekou Hydropower Station’s first phase. The project represents a significant investment, with 5.3 billion RMB (726 million USD) funneled into its development. Its annual output of 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity saves over 600,000 tonnes of standard coal and reduces carbon emissions by 1.6 million tonnes each year.
This ambitious project not only highlights the potential of renewable energy but also underscores the harmony between technological innovation and environmental stewardship. The Kela Power Station is a beacon of progress, setting a benchmark for future energy solutions.
