China Plans 1km Wide Space Solar Power Station to Transmit Energy Comparable to Three Gorges Dam via Microwaves
Jan 9, 2025, 11:37 PM
China is advancing plans to construct a large-scale solar power station in space, likened to the Three Gorges Dam. The project aims to harness solar energy and transmit it back to Earth using microwaves. This ambitious initiative is expected to generate energy comparable to that produced by the Three Gorges Dam, which is one of the largest hydroelectric projects in the world. The construction will utilize super heavy rockets to facilitate the deployment of the solar power infrastructure in orbit, marking a significant step in China's efforts to revolutionize renewable energy.
