TIANJIN, July 9 (Xinhua) -- The Huadian Tianjin Haijing photovoltaic power station, a "salt-light complementary" project featuring world's largest single capacity, was connected to the power grid on Saturday in north China's Tianjin Municipality.

The project is undertaken by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Group Co., Ltd., with an installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts.

It covers an area of about 1,333 hectares, equivalent to over 1,800 football fields.

The project is expected to generate 1.5 billion kWh of clean electricity each year, which is able to reduce 1.25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year and meet the electricity consumption demands of 1.5 million households.
