Overview
Dehe Zhangbei Phase 1 is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 49 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Dehe Zhangbei Phase 1 is an onshore wind farm located in China, with coordinates 41.0864° N, 114.7414° E. The facility has an installed capacity of 49 MW and is currently operational, playing a role in China's growing wind energy sector. The wind farm operates under China's renewable energy regulatory framework, which includes national targets for non-fossil fuel energy and feed-in tariffs for wind power. With a capacity of 49 MW, it falls into the medium-scale category for onshore wind farms in China, which often range from 20 MW to over 100 MW. As part of China's push to increase renewable energy generation, Dehe Zhangbei Phase 1 helps reduce reliance on coal-fired power. The facility's location in Zhangbei County benefits from favorable wind conditions, supporting grid integration and local energy needs.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with strong wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in northern China. The area's landscape is characterized by grasslands and hills, where wind turbines can have visual and land-use impacts. Proper siting and mitigation measures help address potential effects on local bird and bat populations, as well as community acceptance.
