Exciting news from the high altitudes of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region! 🎉 The region's first wind power project has officially connected to the grid at full capacity this past Saturday, marking a significant step in harnessing renewable energy in some of the country's most challenging terrains. ⛰️
Located in Wuqia County of the Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture on the Pamir Plateau, this project stands as China's westernmost wind farm. Featuring 38 turbines elegantly spinning between 2,800 and 3,300 meters above sea level, the farm boasts a total capacity of 200,000 kilowatts. 🌀💡
\"The project can produce about 540 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year – enough to power 300,000 households for a year. This output will save around 164,800 tons of coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 450,000 tons compared to traditional coal-fired power plants,\" shared Zhang Shigang, chairman of the Xinjiang branch of Longyuan Power under CHN Energy, the project's operator. 🌱🌍
This milestone not only underscores China's commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio but also showcases the innovative strides being made in turning high-altitude, mountainous regions into green energy powerhouses. 🚀
