World's highest photovoltaic station connected to grid in Yunnan

The first phase of the Huaneng Nagu Photovoltaic Power Station, the world's highest solar power project, was officially linked to the state grid in Deqen Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Yunnan Province, on Tuesday.　

Located at elevations between 4,800 and 5,300 meters, the first phase includes 32 photovoltaic array zones with around 200,000 dual-glass bifacial panels.　

Upon completion, the first phase of the power station is able to generate 158 million kWh on average annually, enough for 52,000 households' electricity consumption for a year. The clean energy produced each year could save 47,400 tons of standard coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 124,000 tons.
