World’s Highest-Altitude PV Project: Energy Storage Grid-Connected

A High-Altitude Energy Miracle

The second phase of the Huadian Tibet Caipeng Solar-Storage Power Station has commenced operation at an altitude of 5,228 meters. Equipped with 250,000 photovoltaic panels and a capacity of 100,000 kilowatts, the site boasts an average annual solar radiation of more than twice that of plain areas at the same  latitude.

Power Generation and Environmental Benefits

After commissioning, the second phase is expected to generate 155 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting the electricity needs of 50,000 households and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 101,800 tons annually. The project utilizes next-generation bifacial solar panels, increasing power generation efficiency by  7.5%.

Energy Storage Ensures Power Supply

The energy storage system, comprised of 16 white boxes, acts like a giant “power bank,” storing electricity during the day and delivering power at night, effectively ensuring the stability and security of the power grid and providing a successful demonstration of clean energy utilization in high-altitude  areas.
