First Panda Solar Station starts operations
中国建全球首座熊猫外形光伏电站
The first Panda Solar Station in the world was completed and began operations in Datong, Shanxi province on June 29.
6月29日，全球首座熊猫外形光伏电站在山西省大同县完成施工并开始运营。
The station’s installed capacity is 100MW, which it is estimated will generate 3.2 billion kWh of electricity, saving 1.06 million tons of coal and reducing emissions by 2.74 million tons of carbon dioxide, 27,400 tons of sulfur dioxide, 24,000 tons of nitrogen oxide, and 1,600 tons of dust during its expected lifespan of 25 years.
电站的装机容量是100兆瓦，根据评估，可供电32亿度，预期耐用年限为25年。这意味着熊猫电站在25年间可节约煤炭106万吨，减少二氧化碳排放274万吨，二氧化硫2.74万吨，二氧化氮2.4万吨，以及粉尘1600吨。
The project was initiated by Panda Green Energy Group, a leading investor and operator specializing in solar power plants in China.
这个项目由熊猫绿能集团发起，该集团是中国专攻太阳能发电厂的主导投资者和经营者。
It built the station with black monocrystalline silicon module and off-white thin film PV module, making it look like a panda from above, hence the name.
在建设此电站时，此集团使用黑色单晶硅组件以及灰白色薄膜组件，使得电站的外形从高处俯瞰是一个熊猫图案，因此以此命名。
Li Yuan, CEO of the group’s parent company, China Merchants New Energy (CMNE), explained the reason why the company decided to build the station in Datong.
此集团的母公司是招商新能源(CMNE)，首席执行官李原接受采访时对选择在大同建电站做出了解释。
"Datong’s transformation from ’China’s Coal City’ to being a pilot area for new energy is a strong endorsement of the clean energy industry," said Li.
大同正在经历转型，从’中国的煤都’转换成新能源的试验地区对于清洁能源产业的发展提供了强大的支持。
The sufficient solar irradiance and land in Datong also made it an ideal choice for the construction of the solar station.
同样地，大同拥有充足的日照强度以及广阔的土地,也使得大同成为建设此电站的理想选择。
"Everybody will take part in the future energy system and benefit from it," said He Jijiang, a professor at Tsinghua University.
清华大学教授何继江教授称“未来的能源体系人人参与，人人得到收益”。
"I hope the Panda Solar Station will boost the industrial transformation of energy in Datong; and Datong will share its success with the whole world," he added.
他补充说：“我希望熊猫光伏电站能够帮助大同实现新能源的转型，并且在转型成功后大同能够和全世界分享经验”。
In the next 5 years, CMNE plans to build 100 panda power stations around the world, according to Li Yuan. In each country, the panda pattern will be combined with local animals, such as koala bears, rhinoceroses and polar bears, to encourage teenagers to join in the fight against climate change.
据李原所说，在未来的五年间，招商新能源(CMNE)计划将在全世界建造100个熊猫电站。建设电站时，电站的外形将与每个国家标志性的本地动物相结合。比如，树袋熊，犀牛以及北极熊，以此来鼓励青少年们加入到应对气候变化的行动中。
