The cutest energy field you’ll ever see!

China built a solar field in the shape of a giant panda

 

Renewable energy is good for the environment and can, apparently, enhance youth education when presented in an absolutely adorable way.A new 248-acre solar panel field in Datong, China looks like a giant panda bear. The Panda Power Plant started delivering power to a grid in northwestern China this week, and a second power panda is expected to go up later this year.

 

The builders, China Merchants New Energy Group, developed the pandas along with the United Nations Development Program as part of a bigger initiative to educate young people about clean energy.

 

“As the future of development, the youth have the opportunity to contribute to world-wide sustainable development,” the UNDP wrote in a statement. “UNDP will work to promote and popularize the promotion of new energy through summer camps and open innovation design contests. The initiatives aim to engage the youth of China and assist in developing the future leaders in the green energy field.”

 

In total, the plants will be able to produce 3.2 billion kilowatt-hours of solar energy over 25 years, roughly the same as running an average TV, 24 hours per day for 3.65 million years. And by generating so much power from the sun, the pandas are expected to reduce China’s carbon emissions by 2.74 million tons, the equivalent of emissions generated by powering an average home for 210,769 years.
