Yabai Solar Power Generation Project

Located in the Tengger Desert, the project, with a total installed capacity of 2 gigawatts, is expected to provide approximately 3. 96 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, helping save more than 1. 2 million metric tons of standard coal and reduce annual carbon. . “The region's environmental issues have become security issues,” says concerned Iwakuni City Council member Takashi Ishimoto. Shanghai Electric Power, headquartered in China, has acquired a mega-solar project in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It was built in phases (I–IV) from 2015 onward and fully commissioned by 2020. It occupies around 56 km² and receives high solar. . Recently, the Japanese Yakai photovoltaic power generation project undertaken by Shanghai Electric Power Station Group passed the acceptance of the local government with high power generation efficiency. This ambitious "three-in-one" project harmoniously combines solar power, salt production, and aquaculture over a sprawling 3294-acre. . Construction of the second phase of China's largest renewable energy power base in the country's Gobi Desert and other arid regions will further facilitate the country's shift from its dependence on coal to renewables for power generation — a boon to achieving the country's sustainable energy. .
