Overview
Hulunbuir City Zhaluomude Datang Wind is an operational onshore wind farm in Inner Mongolia, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national renewable portfolio standards.
Hulunbuir City Zhaluomude Datang Wind is an operational onshore wind farm located in the Hulunbuir region of Inner Mongolia, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it falls within the medium-scale range for wind farms in China, supporting the country's ambitious renewable energy targets. The facility operates under China's renewable energy framework, which includes national renewable portfolio standards and feed-in tariffs for wind power. Onshore wind is a mature technology in China, with the country being the global leader in installed wind capacity. The plant's location in Inner Mongolia benefits from strong wind resources typical of the region. This wind farm plays a role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting China's goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. It contributes to the local grid, helping to meet growing electricity demand while diversifying the energy mix away from coal. The project also supports local economic development through job creation and infrastructure investment.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the Hulunbuir grasslands, an area with high wind speeds ideal for wind energy generation. The region is ecologically sensitive, with potential impacts on bird and bat populations, though proper siting and mitigation measures can reduce these risks. The facility's operation displaces fossil fuel generation, contributing to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions in a country heavily reliant on coal.
