Overview
Jilin Tongyu Xinglongshan 1B Wind is an operational onshore wind farm in Jilin, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Jilin Tongyu Xinglongshan 1B Wind is an onshore wind farm located in Jilin Province, 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 supports the region's transition to cleaner energy sources. China's renewable energy sector is driven by national policies such as the Renewable Energy Law and ambitious carbon neutrality goals by 2060. Onshore wind farms like this one benefit from feed-in tariffs and grid connection guarantees, though curtailment remains a challenge in some regions. The 49 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium range for Chinese wind farms, which often exceed 100 MW. The facility's location in Jilin Province, part of China's northeastern wind belt, provides favorable wind resources. The electricity generated is fed into the regional grid, helping to reduce reliance on coal-fired power. This aligns with China's commitment to increase non-fossil fuel energy consumption to 25% by 2030.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms like Jilin Tongyu Xinglongshan 1B Wind occupy land that may have previously been used for agriculture or grassland. While wind energy produces no direct emissions, potential environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and risks to local bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures are typically required to minimize these effects. The facility's operation displaces fossil fuel generation, contributing to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the region.
