Overview
Huaneng Shandong Penglai Daliuhang Wind Power Phase 1 is an operational onshore wind farm in Shandong, China, with a capacity of 49 MW, contributing to the region's renewable energy goals.
Huaneng Shandong Penglai Daliuhang Wind Power Phase 1 is an operational onshore wind farm located in Shandong Province, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale wind project that supports China's expanding renewable energy portfolio. The facility operates under China's national renewable energy framework, which includes feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards aimed at increasing wind and solar capacity. Onshore wind is a mature technology in China, and this plant contributes to the country's target of 1,200 GW of wind and solar by 2030. As part of the Shandong grid, this wind farm helps reduce reliance on coal-fired power, improving local air quality and lowering carbon emissions. Its location in a coastal province benefits from consistent wind resources, enhancing its operational efficiency and grid integration.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in Shandong, a coastal province with strong wind resources, making it suitable for onshore wind energy. The region's renewable energy development helps mitigate air pollution from coal power and supports China's carbon neutrality goals. Potential environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and effects on local bird populations, which are typical for wind projects.
