Scientists in the Tibet Autonomous Region are doing research on solar and wind energy interaction for electricity power in order to meet the demand of remote areas of the region, sources from Xinhua on November 19.

According to Yan Han, general engineer of Nagqu Logistics Center of China Railway Construction Group, there are plenty of solar and wind energy in Nagqu Prefecture with an altitude of 4,500 meters. If fully used after building the interaction power supply system, plenty of power can be offered at lower cost without environment pollution.

Tibet boasts the most abundant solar energy because its annual sunlight time amounts to 3,000 hours. In addition, its wind energy reaches 9.3 billion KW annually. Nowadays more than 200,000 solar energy stoves and hundreds of wind energy dynamotors have been set up in the autonomous region.
