Overview
Datang Ningxia Taiyangshan Phase 3 is an operational onshore wind farm in Ningxia, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Datang Ningxia Taiyangshan Phase 3 is an onshore wind farm located in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale wind facility that supports China's growing renewable energy portfolio. The plant is operational and plays a role in the regional energy mix. The facility operates under China's renewable energy framework, which includes national wind power targets and feed-in tariffs for onshore wind. Ningxia benefits from strong wind resources, making it a suitable location for wind energy development. The 49 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale category for Chinese wind farms. This wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports China's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. It also helps diversify the energy supply in Ningxia, a region with significant coal power generation. The project aligns with national policies promoting clean energy and grid integration.
Environmental context
The Ningxia region features arid and semi-arid landscapes with strong wind resources, ideal for wind energy generation. Wind farms like this one help reduce reliance on coal, but require careful siting to minimize visual impact and avoid sensitive bird habitats. The facility's operation supports local air quality improvements and contributes to China's renewable energy targets.
