Overview
Datang Jia County Yunyang is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 34 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Datang Jia County Yunyang is an operational onshore wind farm located in China, with a capacity of 34 MW. The facility is part of the broader wind energy sector in China, which has seen rapid growth driven by national renewable energy targets and supportive policies. The wind farm operates under China's renewable energy framework, which includes feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards aimed at increasing the share of non-fossil energy. With a capacity of 34 MW, it falls within the small-to-medium scale for onshore wind farms in China, where larger projects often exceed 100 MW. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports China's goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. Its location in Henan province benefits from favorable wind resources, and the electricity generated is integrated into the regional grid, helping to meet local energy demand sustainably.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in Henan province, a region with moderate wind resources suitable for onshore wind energy. The facility helps displace fossil fuel-based electricity, reducing local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Potential environmental considerations include land use for turbine placement and impacts on local bird and bat populations, which are common for wind projects. Proper siting and mitigation measures are typically employed to minimize these effects.
