Overview
Ningxia Tongxin (Magaozhuang Lixian Yazi) Datang 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 Tongxin (Magaozhuang Lixian Yazi) Datang is an operational onshore wind farm located in Ningxia, China. With a capacity of 49 MW, it falls within the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region, supporting the country's growing renewable energy portfolio. The facility operates under China's renewable energy framework, which includes national feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards aimed at achieving 1,200 GW of wind and solar capacity by 2030. Onshore wind technology is well-established in Ningxia, benefiting from strong wind resources in the area. This wind farm contributes to local grid stability and reduces reliance on coal-fired power, aligning with China's carbon neutrality goals. Its operational status ensures ongoing clean electricity generation for the surrounding region, supporting environmental and energy security objectives.
Environmental context
Ningxia's semi-arid climate and open terrain provide favorable conditions for wind energy, though wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations through collisions and habitat disruption. The region's grid integration challenges are addressed through ongoing infrastructure upgrades to accommodate variable renewable output.
