Huanghe Hydropower's Golmud Solar park is a 200 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station located in Golmud, Qinghai Province, China.[1] Construction began in August 2009,[2] and it was commissioned on October 29, 2011.[3][4] 80 MW was provided by Yingli.[5] The project won the 2012 China Quality Power Project Award. Output is expected to be 317 GWh per year.[6]

Also in Golmud is the 20 MW Qinghai Golmud Solar Park completed in 2011 by Longyuan Power, as well as others.[7][8][9] There are a total of 570 MW of solar parks in Golmud, many of which are located in the Golmud Desert Cluster,[1] with 500 MW more expected in 2012.[10][update needed]
