From China Huadian, we learnt that the world's largest PV project under construction at the highest altitude - Tibet Mangkang Angdor 1800 MW PV power generation project has completed the main body pouring of three 220 kV booster stations, and is expected to be connected to the grid at the end of 2025.

Angdor 1800 MW PV project is located in Mangkang County, Tibet, at an altitude of 4200 to 4800 metres, covering an area of about 45 square kilometres, is currently the world's largest under construction, the highest altitude, the most complete ecological and environmental protection measures of clean energy power generation projects.

Huadian Jinshang Changdu New Energy Co., Ltd, Director of Engineering Management Department, Li Bingbing said: At present, the total construction of pile foundation and installation of bracket components have been completed, and all efforts will be made to ensure that the project will be completed and put into operation simultaneously with the Jinshang to Hubei UHV DC transmission line in 2025.

After the completion of the project, the annual power generation will be about 5.4 billion kWh, saving about 1.67 million tonnes of standard coal and reducing 3.74 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, which is of great significance to help achieve the goal of ‘double-carbon’ and accelerate the construction of the national water-wind-scenery integration demonstration base.
