China just flipped the switch on a massive clean energy project in the high-altitude landscapes of Qinghai Province! The newly operational 750-kilovolt power transmission system, built at an average elevation of 3,175 meters, is set to turbocharge the region's renewable energy grid.
This engineering marvel in Gonghe County – part of the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture – will connect vast solar farms and wind turbines to homes and businesses. Officials estimate it'll boost annual clean energy production by over 9 billion kilowatt-hours – enough to power 3 million households for a year!
Here's why it matters for our planet :
Saves 3.12 million tonnes of coal annually
Cuts CO2 emissions by 8.64 million tonnes – equivalent to taking 1.8 million cars off roads
Qinghai isn't just home to the sources of Asia's major rivers – it's now leading China's green revolution with 51.07 million kilowatts of installed clean energy capacity. Talk about #EarthGoals!
