China to Build Solar Power Plants in 2009


Beijing, Jan 12 (Prensa Latina) Two large solar power plants will be built in the Chinese provinces of Qinghai and Yunnan this year, as part of a nationwide project to boost renewable energy.

Qinghai's solar station will cost 146 million dollars and will be jointly built by China Technology Development Group and Qinghai New Energy Group.

In the beginning, the plant will generate 30 megawatts, but after completion, it will produce one gigawatt and will be the world's largest solar power plant, investors said.

Works on another solar power plant will begin in the southern Yunnan province. The plant will produce 166 megawatts and will cost 1.3 billion dollars.
