The largest floating solar farm is Three Gorges New Energy with an installed capacity of 150 MW, and was fully completed in May 2018. Three Gorges New Energy, which is a unit of Chinese conglomerate Three Gorges Corp., has invested more than RMB 1 billion ($151 million) in the array, which floats atop a lake formed in Panji District, Huainan City, after a former mine below the surface collapsed. When complete, 150 MW station will be the equivalent of using about 53,000 tons of coal. According to the corporation, nearly 199,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be cut every year.
The earlier biggest floating solar power project of 40 MW was constructed by Asia’s largest inverter manufacturer Sungrow, also in the Anhui Province.
