Karakoram Highway Photovoltaic And Energy Storage System

Karakoram Highway Photovoltaic and Energy Storage System (Strategic and Military Applications)

● Location: High-altitude areas along the China-Pakistan border (over 4000 meters above sea level)

● Project Features:

○ Construction of 23 photovoltaic + energy storage stations along the route

○ Installation of 800,000 kilowatts of solar panels in the Shufu County PV Park

● Functions and Advantages:

○ Provides 24-hour stable power supply to military bases in the region

○ Equipped with a distributed microgrid system with strong anti-destruction capabilities■ If the main station is damaged, the backup station automatically switches over within 30 seconds

■ The energy storage system can support the operation of critical facilities (such as radar and communication systems)

○ Has repeatedly ensured secure power supply for border security during India-Pakistan conflicts

● Strategic Significance:

○ Enhances energy security and defense capabilities in Pakistan's border regions

○ Demonstrates China's technological strength in integrating photovoltaic systems in high-altitude, cold regions

○ Hailed as a distributed energy network "more densely deployed than US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region"
