"World's biggest solar farm comes online in China's Xinjiang"
- 5 GW installed capacity
- >800 km²
- 6.09 TWh a year
A single large nuclear power plant (EPR) produces twice the amount of electricity, on a speck of the land (0.09 km²). The Dutch government wants to build four of those. Energy density makes a real difference.
China is doing both btw, because solar (and wind) are faster to install, they have the room and the industry to pull it off.
