Overview
Huaneng Shandong Shouguang Phase 3 Wind is an operational onshore wind farm in Shandong, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Huaneng Shandong Shouguang Phase 3 Wind is an onshore wind farm located in Shouguang, Shandong Province, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale facility within China's vast wind energy sector. The plant is operational and plays a role in the region's renewable energy supply. The facility operates under China's national renewable energy framework, which includes feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Onshore wind is a mature technology in China, with the country leading global installed capacity. The 49 MW scale is typical for provincial wind projects, contributing to grid stability and local energy needs. Environmentally, the wind farm supports China's transition away from coal, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Its location in Shandong, a coastal province with strong wind resources, optimizes energy generation. The facility also aligns with provincial renewable energy targets, promoting sustainable development in the region.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in Shandong, a province with significant wind energy potential due to its coastal geography. Onshore wind projects like this one help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, cutting carbon emissions and local air pollutants. However, wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations and require careful siting to minimize visual and land-use effects. The facility's operation supports China's broader environmental goals of increasing renewable energy share and reducing greenhouse gas intensity.
