Overview
Gd Power Chuanshan Wind is a 45 MW onshore wind farm in China, operational and contributing to the country's renewable energy capacity.
Gd Power Chuanshan Wind is an onshore wind farm located in China, with coordinates 29.8479° N, 121.0341° E. The facility has a capacity of 45 megawatts (MW), placing it in the medium-scale range for wind farms in the country. It is currently operational, adding to China's vast wind energy portfolio. The wind farm operates under China's renewable energy regulatory framework, which includes national feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards. Onshore wind is a mature technology in China, with the country leading global installed capacity. The 45 MW scale is typical for regional wind projects that support local grid integration and energy transition goals. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based power. Its location in eastern China, near the coast, benefits from consistent wind patterns. The project aligns with China's national targets for renewable energy expansion and helps meet provincial renewable energy quotas.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in eastern China. The area's coastal geography supports consistent wind speeds, enhancing energy generation. While wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations, proper siting and mitigation measures are often employed. The facility's operation displaces coal-fired power, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in the region.
