China has built the largest floating solar power plant in the world. It is reported that the 40 megawatt power station has 160 thousand solar panels, which are built in Central China's Anhui province. The power station floats on a pond formed by the collapse of the land in the coal mining subsidence area.

When the United States withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, China built the largest floating solar power station in the world, which is enough to show its ambition of developing clean energy. The 40 megawatt power plant has 160 thousand solar panels, built in Central China's Anhui province. The power station floats on a pond formed by the collapse of the land in the coal mining subsidence area.

The floating solar power plant came online just before and after US President Trump decided to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement in June 2nd. Trump's move has shifted the focus of attention to whether China will be responsible for the leadership of global warming. The eighth session of the clean energy ministerial conference was held at this time in Beijing.


This is a good opportunity for China. At present, 2/3 of the solar panels in the world are made in China. The meeting held in Beijing has made the efforts of the Chinese government and Chinese companies to develop clean energy. China has become the largest clean energy investor in the world since 2012, according to Bloomberg news. Last year, China invested 88 billion dollars in wind and solar energy. China's solar power generation in 2016 has more than doubled. The official goal of China is to increase the power of low emission energy, including nuclear energy, from 11% to 20% by 2030. And all these progress will benefit China and the world.
