Overview
Ningxia Ningdong (Lingwu Changliushui) Datang Angli is an operational onshore wind farm in Ningxia, China, with a capacity of 49 MW. It contributes to China's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Ningxia Ningdong (Lingwu Changliushui) Datang Angli is an operational onshore wind farm located in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it falls within the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region. The facility is situated near Lingwu City, an area known for its favorable wind resources and growing renewable energy infrastructure. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. China's renewable energy sector is supported by strong national policies, including the Renewable Energy Law and provincial-level wind power development plans. The Ningxia region has been a focus for wind energy due to its high wind speeds and flat terrain, making it suitable for large-scale wind installations. Environmentally, the facility helps reduce reliance on coal-fired power, contributing to China's carbon neutrality goals by 2060. The wind farm's output is integrated into the regional grid, supporting local industrial and residential electricity needs. Its operation aligns with China's commitment to increasing non-fossil fuel energy consumption to around 25% by 2030.
Environmental context
The Ningxia region features a semi-arid climate with strong and consistent winds, ideal for wind energy generation. Onshore wind farms like this one can impact local bird and bat populations through collisions, though proper siting and mitigation measures are often employed. The facility's construction involved land-use changes, but wind turbines have a relatively small footprint compared to other energy infrastructure. Overall, the project supports China's transition to cleaner energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution.
Frequently asked questions
