Overview
Huaneng Tuokexun Baiyanghe Third Stage is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to the country's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Huaneng Tuokexun Baiyanghe Third Stage is an onshore wind farm located in the Xinjiang region of China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it is a medium-scale facility within China's vast wind power sector, which leads globally in installed capacity. The plant is operational and adds to the region's renewable energy generation. The facility uses modern wind turbine technology typical of Chinese onshore wind farms. China's renewable energy framework, including the Renewable Energy Law and provincial wind power targets, supports projects like this. The 49 MW capacity places it in the medium range for onshore wind, contributing to grid supply and local energy needs. The wind farm plays a role in China's transition to cleaner energy, reducing reliance on coal-fired power. It supports grid stability in Xinjiang, a region with strong wind resources. The project aligns with national goals to increase non-fossil fuel energy share and reduce carbon emissions.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in Xinjiang, a region with abundant wind resources, making it suitable for wind energy generation. Onshore wind farms like this one can have local environmental impacts, including visual landscape changes and potential effects on bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures can minimize these impacts. The facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity.
