The Kela photovoltaic (PV) power station, the world's largest and highest-altitude hydropower and PV complementary power station goes into operation for power generation on Sunday.

The official running of the power station located in the Yalong River Basin, Southwest China's Sichuan Province marks the first time that the complementary operation between hydropower and PV has been elevated to a capacity of over 1 million kilowatts, as China strives to ensure energy security and achieve its dual carbon goals.

The project covers an area of around 16 million square meters, which is equivalent to 2,000 standard football fields.
