The 2-gigawatt Al Dhafra PV (photovoltaic) solar power plant - the largest single-site photovoltaic power plant in the world - lights up about 160,000 households with a constant supply of clean electricity. The brains behind this mammoth venture are 5,000 Chinese and UAE engineers assigned to the Belt and Road Initiative - a global infrastructure development strategy launched by China in 2013 to link up Asia with Africa and Europe to drive trade and economic growth.
