Overview
Niutouling is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 43 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Niutouling is an onshore wind farm located in China, with coordinates approximately 23.44°N, 117.07°E. The facility has an installed capacity of 43 megawatts (MW) and is currently operational. It is part of China's extensive wind power sector, which is the largest in the world by installed capacity. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity, a technology that has seen rapid deployment in China due to supportive policies and declining costs. China's renewable energy framework includes national targets under the 14th Five-Year Plan, aiming for 1,200 GW of wind and solar capacity by 2030. The facility operates under China's Renewable Energy Law, which mandates grid connection and feed-in tariffs for renewable energy. Niutouling contributes to local and national clean energy goals by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Wind farms like Niutouling help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. The facility's location in a coastal region may benefit from consistent wind patterns, supporting stable power generation and grid integration.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a coastal region of China, where onshore wind resources are typically strong. Wind energy development in such areas can have visual impacts on the landscape and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures can minimize these impacts. The facility supports China's transition to a low-carbon economy by providing clean electricity.
