On May 28, 2025, the largest “tea leaf supplementary” project in the country was successfully connected to the grid in Changsha, Hunan Province. The project features the Changsha 235 MW tea leaf supplementary power station, which is located at a height of 5250 meters on Mount Tea Leaf. This facility is expected to play a crucial role in providing new energy solutions for local agricultural practices.
The Changsha 235 MW tea leaf supplementary power station is designed with advanced engineering concepts, focusing on height, density, and distance. This design allows the tea plants below to effectively utilize sunlight while reducing water evaporation and increasing air humidity, thus creating a more stable microclimate that enhances tea production quality. Annually, the facility can provide approximately 257 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Once operational, this power station will significantly contribute to the local energy grid, providing about 3.76 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy each year. This equates to a reduction of approximately 11.3 million tons of carbon emissions and demonstrates its efficiency and social impact.
According to industry reports, the Changsha power station is a part of the broader efforts by Hunan Province to expand renewable energy capacity. Following its connection to the power grid, it is anticipated to support local energy needs and stimulate economic growth, particularly in the agricultural sector.
