en.Wedoany.com Reported - India is building the Khavda Solar Park in the Rann of Kutch region, with plans to become the world's largest solar power plant by 2029. The park covers an area of 280 square miles, where nearly 60 million solar panels will blanket one of the world's largest salt deserts, extending all the way to the border with Pakistan. With a generation capacity of 30 gigawatts, the park is 30 times the size of a typical coal or nuclear power plant, enough to meet the entire electricity demand of Austria.

As India's economic growth rate now surpasses that of China, the construction of the Khavda Park epitomizes the country's rapid development trend of relying on solar energy for electrification. India's installed solar capacity is growing at an annual rate of 40%, having exceeded 150 gigawatts this March, and is expected to double again by 2030.

Analysts believe that the world's most populous country is gradually becoming the first major economy to primarily rely on solar energy to drive its industrialization process. (Source: Yale Environment 360; Image: Ben_Kerckx via Pixabay)
