Massive floating power plant up and running

The world's largest floating photovoltaic power station was connected to the grid and started generating power in Anhui province on Sunday, with the remaining capacity to be connected in May, said China Three Gorges Corp, the world's largest hydropower producer.

The company invested 1 billion yuan ($151 million) in the 150MW floating photovoltaic power station, located in Huainan, using the water surface from an area of coal mining subsidence.

Construction of the project started in July and it is set to become fully operational by May, said the company.
