Ecological Restoration and Green Energy: A Win-Win Solution

China’s Gansu Electric Power Investment Corporation has achieved remarkable results with its Jiudun Tan photovoltaic desertification control project. Adopting the core model of “power generation above panels, desertification control below,” the project has not only leveled 1,200 mu (approximately 80 hectares) of sand dunes—boosting regional vegetation coverage from under 5% to over 35%—but also cumulatively delivered over 217 million kWh of green electricity. This initiative simultaneously advances desertification control and clean energy development.
