SolarRenewable

Shanshan Phase I is a 20 MW solar power plant in China, operational since its commissioning. It accounts for 0.04% of China's total solar capacity of 54,642 MW across 1,329 plants. Ranked #650 of 1,329 solar plants in China, Shanshan Phase I's 20 MW is a minor contribution to the overall solar capacity. The largest solar plant in China is Ili Kazakh I at 1,000 MW, making this facility 50 times smaller. Nearby plants include Shanshan J (50 MW, Solar), Shanshan 3 (50 MW, Solar), and Shanshan G (50 MW, Solar). The facility is located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, approximately 300 km from the nearest major city, Urumqi.
