Overview
Huaneng Dali Wuzipo Phase 1 Wind is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 49 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Huaneng Dali Wuzipo Phase 1 Wind is an onshore wind farm located in the Dali region of Yunnan Province, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale wind project that supports China's growing renewable energy portfolio. The facility is operational and plays a role in the local energy grid. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology typical of onshore installations in China. China's renewable energy sector is governed by national policies such as the Renewable Energy Law and provincial renewable portfolio standards, which encourage wind power development. The country is the world's largest wind energy market, with significant capacity additions annually. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Wind farms in this region benefit from consistent wind patterns, supporting grid stability and energy security. The project aligns with China's goals to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
Environmental context
The Dali region in Yunnan Province features mountainous terrain and favorable wind resources, making it suitable for onshore wind energy. Wind farms in this area help reduce reliance on coal-fired power, lowering local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, wind energy development must consider land-use impacts and potential effects on local bird and bat populations, though specific data for this site is not detailed.
