Southern Xinjiang just leveled up its renewable energy game with the launch of its first high-altitude wind farm! Located in the Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture at a dizzying 3,100 meters above sea level, this project is breaking new ground—literally.
Perched on the Pamir Plateau in Wuqia County (China’s westernmost wind farm, BTW), the site’s initial 20 turbines are set to generate 270 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually. That’s enough to power thousands of homes while slashing carbon emissions.
But here’s the kicker: Once all 38 turbines spin to life, the farm’s capacity will soar to 200,000 kilowatts. This isn’t just about energy—it’s a tech triumph for harnessing wind in thin-air, low-wind-speed zones. Think of it as Mother Nature meets innovation.
Experts say the project could inspire similar ventures globally, proving that even the world’s rooftops can become green energy hubs. For Xinjiang, it’s a fresh step toward sustainability—one gust at a time.
