It is expected to generate 170 million kilowatt-hours of on-grid energy annually, which can save about 20,000 tons of standard coal and reduce 75,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to Huo.

"Shanghai Disney Resort has been devoted to seeking new technology and business solutions which reduce our impact on the environment, save resources, and promote sustainable technology, and to supporting all kinds of cooperation with our local partners," said Howard Brown, senior vice president overseeing development of the resort.

"The project is an excellent example of partnership, localization and Disney's long-term commitment to environment protection. We are excited to be creating a world-class destination here in Shanghai to showcase environmentally friendly and leading Chinese and international technologies," he added.

Shanghai Disney Resort, the world's sixth Disney amusement park and the first on the Chinese mainland, will be located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. It will also be the third of its kind in Asia, after the company's theme parks in Tokyo and Hong Kong.

The resort is a joint venture between the Walt Disney Co and Shanghai Shendi Group, with Shendi holding 57 percent of shares and Disney the remaining 43 percent.

Ground was broken for the project on April 8, 2011.
