Beijing, 2 January: The Sorong solar power plant, located in Lithang County of Kanzi Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, situated in the Yalong River Basin, has now become fully operational. The plant is positioned at an average altitude of over 4,400 metres above sea level, with its highest point reaching 4,700 metres. The total installed capacity of the plant is 10 lakh kilowatts.
According to information, the Sorong solar plant is a key part of the integrated development centre for hydropower, wind, and solar energy in the Yalong River Basin.
