Roughly 150km south of Shanghai a gigantic civil engineering experiment is underway that’s causing international ripples in more ways than one.
Potentially capable of providing 50% of the world’s ongoing energy needs, the clean and green technology being trialed in China’s Hangzhou Fengling Electricity Science Technology solar park will also provide employment and nutritious food for locals.
Hangzhou Fengling Electricity Science Technology developed a 320MW floating PV power plant in China’s Zhejiang province in two phases. The first phase with a capacity of 200MW was completed in 2017 while the second phase of 120MW was completed in April 2020.
