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. 🌏⚡
