"China plans to have more of its public transport either powered by or
generating solar energy, as the country looks to further decarbonise one of the
world’s largest transport systems and boost its solar capacity to meet its
carbon-neutral goals.
Last week, Shanghai’s municipal transport commission issued an implementation
plan to promote the deployment of solar energy in the city’s transport sector,
becoming the country’s first local government to do so.
The city aims to install more solar panels in its underground railway network,
airports, train stations, ports, buses, bridges and tunnels, highways and car
parks. Its aim is that by 2025, this newly added capacity should reach 120 to
180 megawatts (MW). At least 50 per cent of newly built transport facilities
should be covered with rooftop solar panels, while all new highway sound
barriers should also be equipped with this equipment, according to the plan.
The Shanghai government also aims to upgrade existing facilities and vehicles
to ensure they can consume solar energy generated locally and send the excess
generated to the power grid."
