LHASA, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) — A wind power project with the largest unit capacity in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region was connected to the grid on Monday, marking a breakthrough in the development of the region's new energy sector.
The power plant, built by the Xizang branch of Huadian New Energy Group Co., Ltd., is located at an altitude of 5,370 meters above sea level in Chonggye County (Qiongze) in Shannan City. It comprises 12 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 60 MW and is equipped with a grid-tied energy storage system.
Once the project is operational, the annual electricity generated is expected to meet the needs of approximately 120,000 households. This equates to an average annual reduction of 128,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
By using innovative engineering solutions, the builders were able to overcome challenges such as an altitude of over 5,000 m above sea level and sharp daily temperature fluctuations.
According to the builders, the project's implementation also allowed for the restoration of vegetation over an area of 360,000 square meters, ensuring both infrastructure development and environmental protection.
Xizang currently has a comprehensive energy system, with hydroelectric power as its primary source of energy, and geothermal, wind, and solar power plants as additional sources. From 2015 to 2024, Xizang exported 15.8 billion kWh of clean electricity to other regions. –0–
