Overview
Guohua Dongying Lijin (Phase 1) is an operational onshore wind farm in Dongying, Shandong, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Guohua Dongying Lijin (Phase 1) is an onshore wind farm located near Dongying in Shandong Province, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale wind facility that supports China's ambitious renewable energy goals. The plant is operational and forms part of the broader wind power development in the region. The facility operates under China's renewable energy framework, which includes national wind power targets and feed-in tariffs that have driven rapid capacity growth. Onshore wind is a mature technology in China, and this plant uses standard wind turbine configurations typical for the area. The 49 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale category for Chinese wind farms. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. It also supports local grid stability and energy diversification in Shandong, an industrial province with high electricity demand. The project aligns with China's commitment to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in the Yellow River Delta region, an area with significant ecological importance. Onshore wind farms in this region must consider potential impacts on bird migration routes and local wildlife. The facility's design includes measures to minimize land-use conflicts and visual impacts, typical for wind projects in agricultural or coastal plains. Grid integration is a key consideration, as wind power variability requires balancing with other sources.
