Author: PPD Team Date: January 16, 2025 China has unveiled plans to develop space-based solar stations, aiming to collect energy unaffected by weather or night cycles. The project involves installing a 1 km-wide solar array in geostationary orbit, 36,000 km above Earth. Senior scientist Long Lehao compared the initiative to the Three Gorges Dam in orbit, highlighting its potential to generate yearly energy comparable to Earth’s total recoverable oil reserves. The stations would ensure continuous…
Author: PPD Team Date: August 7, 2025 China’s solar and wind curtailment rates rose sharply in the first half of 2025, highlighting growing grid constraints amid record renewable additions. Solar curtailment reached 5.7 per cent, up from 3 per cent a year earlier. Wind rose to 6.6 per cent from 3.9 per cent, according to the National Energy Administration. Curtailment occurs when generated power cannot be delivered due to oversupply or transmission bottlenecks. Remote western…
