The Kubuqi Desert was once the source of sandstorms sweeping over the North China, but with the development of clean energy, it is now full of vitality. The establishment of the Junma Solar
The Junma solar power station -- "Junma" meaning "fine horse" in Chinese -- is part of an ambitious desert reclamation project known as the "great photovoltaic wall," stretching
China has made significant strides in combating desertification by successfully encircling the Taklamakan Desert, the largest in China and the second-largest shifting desert
Shenzhen, December 22, 2023 – Recently, the 300MW utility project powered by SOFAR has been commissioned. Located in the south edge of China''s fourth largest desert Tengger
In some arid areas, solar-powered drip irrigation is also being adopted for green desert landscapes. To adapt to the challenging conditions of desert environments, innovations
The Tengger Desert new energy base is the first to be approved, launched, and put into operation among the 10 million kW-level projects in desert and Gobi areas in China. It also

Back in 2017, NASA took note of a startlingly large plan to develop the Kubuqi Desert of Inner Mongolia for solar energy. “The project, expected to be finished in 2030, will be 400 kilometers (250 miles) long, 5 kilometers (3 miles) wide, and achieve a maximum generating capacity of 100 gigawatts,” NASA observed.

S panning some 43 square kilometers (16.6 square miles) in the open desert—and supplying power to more than 600,000 homes—Tengger Desert Solar Park was constructed at a never-before-seen scale, earning the impressive title of world's largest photovoltaic power facility both in size and production when it was completed in 2015.
