According to a recent report, a wind farm in southern Xinjiang has achieved full capacity grid connection, marking a significant milestone in China’s renewable energy development. Located in the Kashgar prefecture, the wind farm has a total installed capacity of 300 megawatts (MW), making it the first wind farm in southern Xinjiang to reach full capacity grid connection.
The wind farm consists of 150 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2 MW, and is expected to generate approximately 1.26 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year. The electricity generated by the wind farm will be transmitted to the regional power grid and distributed to local residents, industries, and commercial businesses.
The achievement is considered a major breakthrough in southern Xinjiang’s renewable energy development, as it addresses the region’s energy scarcity and reduces its reliance on fossil fuels. The region’s wind resources are expected to play a significant role in meeting its growing energy demands, and the development of the wind farm demonstrates the region’s commitment to sustainable energy development.
