Chinesische Arbeiter installieren Solaranlagen in der weltweit größten schwimmenden Solaranlage mit einer Kapazität von 40 Megawatt Energie in der Stadt Huainan, Eas
Chinese workers install solar panels in the world's largest floating solar energy plant with a capacity of 40 megawatts of energy in Huainan city, east China's Anhui province, 7 June 2017. Just as the United States was pulling out of the Paris climate agreement last week, China was flicking the switch on the world's largest floating solar energy plant, cementing its status as the top producer of solar energy on planet Earth. Located in China's eastern Anhui province in the coal city of Huainan, the plant has a capacity of 40 megawatts of energy -- enough to power over 15, 000 homes, according to Sungrow Power Supply, the company that set up the facility. Despite China's reputation for heavily polluted skies and thick clouds of smog, the country has been investing more and more into clean, renewable energy. Over the past few years, Chinese companies have built up wind, hydro and solar plants around the country, but the floating Huainan plant takes China's commitment to cleaning up the environment to a whole new level.
