Overview
Datang Jiaonan Liuwang Phase 2 Wind is an operational onshore wind farm in Jiaonan, China, with a capacity of 49 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Datang Jiaonan Liuwang Phase 2 Wind is an operational onshore wind farm located in Jiaonan, Shandong Province, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale wind energy facility that supports China's growing renewable energy portfolio. The plant is part of the broader Datang Jiaonan wind power project, which includes multiple phases to harness wind resources in the region. The facility operates under China's renewable energy regulatory framework, which includes national targets for carbon neutrality by 2060 and a peak in carbon emissions by 2030. China has implemented feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards to encourage wind power development, particularly in coastal provinces like Shandong. The 49 MW capacity places this plant in the medium-scale category for onshore wind farms in China, where typical installations range from 20 MW to 100 MW. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing reliance on coal-fired power in Shandong, a province with high industrial energy demand. The site's location in Jiaonan benefits from consistent coastal winds, optimizing energy generation. While onshore wind farms can have visual and land-use impacts, the facility's integration into the local grid helps stabilize renewable energy supply and supports China's transition to a low-carbon economy.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in Jiaonan, a coastal area in Shandong Province, where wind resources are favorable for renewable energy generation. The region's industrial activity and high energy demand make wind power a key component in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Potential environmental considerations include land use for turbine placement and visual impacts on the landscape, but these are managed through siting regulations. The facility displaces fossil fuel-based electricity, contributing to improved air quality and climate goals.
