A 1.2 million-kilowatt new energy project, also China’s first large-scale wind-photovoltaic power base in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, has been completed with the recent addition of the 100,000-kW Urt Moron PV power project connected to the grid.

The Urt Moron PV power project combines PV development and ecological management and is built with multiple functions such as power generation, plantation and desertification, which is expected to improve the local ecological environment.
The 1.2 million-kW new energy project is a part of the Qinghai-Henan direct current ultra-high-voltage export project, which is of great significance in building the region into a national highland of clean energy industry.
The Qinghai-Henan project includes PV and wind bases.

Once fully operational, it is expected to generate 2.55 billion kilowatt-hours of green power annually, equaling that produced by burning 770,000 metric tons of standard coal and a reduction of 2.13 million tons of carbon dioxide, and to be fully effective in bringing about social, economic and environmental benefits.
