Imagine clean energy powering the equivalent of *five basketball courts* 🏀 – that’s the scale of the newly completed outer dome at the Taipingling nuclear power plant in Guangdong’s Greater Bay Area! The milestone brings the region one step closer to launching its first Hualong-1 nuclear reactor by 2025, a game-changer for sustainable development in one of Asia’s most dynamic economic hubs.
Clean Energy Goals on Track
Once operational, Unit 1 will pump out 10 billion kWh of carbon-free electricity annually – enough to power 1 million residents’ daily lives 💡. By 2025, its twin Unit 2 will join the grid, with four more reactors planned. Together, they’ll generate over 50 billion kWh yearly, slashing CO2 emissions by 41.2 million tonnes. That’s like planting a forest the size of 113,000 soccer fields! 🌳
Green Impact, Big Numbers
‘This isn’t just about energy – it’s about rewriting the climate playbook,’ said Zhang Guoqiang, the project lead. The plant could cut coal use by 15 million tonnes annually, turbocharging China’s net-zero ambitions while powering tech innovations across the Greater Bay Area. 🚀
