Overview
Yuanliangshan is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 49 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion under national wind power targets.
Yuanliangshan is an onshore wind farm located in China, with coordinates 37.432800 N, 109.042300 E. It is operational and has a capacity of 49 MW, placing it in the medium-scale category for Chinese wind farms. The facility is part of China's vast wind energy sector, which is the largest globally. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity, with a total capacity of 49 MW. China's wind energy sector is supported by national policies such as the Renewable Energy Law and feed-in tariffs, which have driven rapid capacity growth. The facility operates under China's grid integration framework, which prioritizes renewable energy dispatch. Yuanliangshan contributes to local and regional electricity supply, helping to reduce reliance on coal-fired power. Its operation supports China's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. The wind farm's location in a region with favorable wind resources enhances its efficiency and environmental benefits.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in an area with moderate wind resources typical of inland China. Onshore wind farms like Yuanliangshan can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility supports China's transition to cleaner energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution compared to fossil fuel alternatives.
