LHASSA, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) — A large-scale wind power project located at an average altitude of 4,650 m and with a total installed capacity of 100 MW came into operation in South China’s Xizang Autonomous Region on Monday. -western China).
According to CHN Energy Investment Group (CHN Energy), the group of 25 wind turbines in Nagqu is expected to provide around 200 million kWh annually, saving around 60,000 tonnes of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 160,000 tonnes.
Despite the harsh conditions caused by the high altitude, the project was completed in some 260 days with an investment of 640 million yuan (regarding 90.36 million U.S. dollars).
The construction and operation of the wind farm will play a crucial role in demonstrating and promoting the research, development and application of high-altitude wind turbines, as well as the large-scale development of wind power projects. at high altitudes, CHN Energy said.
In recent years, Xizang has actively promoted the development of new energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power. The region’s total installed capacity includes hydroelectric power and emerging energy sources, such as wind and solar. END
