Planned

China plans to construct a massive space-based solar power station that aims to revolutionize global energy supply by harnessing the sun's energy from space and transmitting it back to Earth. This project is likened to relocating the Three Gorges Dam into geostationary orbit, covering an area of about one square kilometer and continuously beaming energy to Earth via microwaves.
