In March, all things revived. In the 40 Jingzi wind areas in Mulei County, East Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, a hundred-meter wind turbines on the vast Gobi were whirling against the wind under the blue sky. The installed power of one located in this area was 7.5 megawatts. The wind turbine, known as the largest wind turbine in Xinjiang, is entering the installation stage of the circuit in an intense and orderly manner.

This is currently the largest wind turbine on land in Xinjiang, with an installed power of 7.5 megawatts, and one day of operation is equivalent to the power consumption of 60,000 households for one day. Said Wang Bo, maintenance engineer of Huadian Xinneng Xinjiang Mulei New Energy Co., Ltd.

The largest wind turbine is located in the Huadian 800 MW wind power project in Shijiazi Wind District, Mulei County. The wind turbine has recently completed hoisting and is currently entering the stage of circuit installation.

Mulei County is rich in scenic resources. There are 5 wind power planning areas including Forty Wells, Laojunmiao, and Dashitou. The 5 areas are planned to cover a total area of 3,900 square kilometers. In recent years, Mulei County has made full use of the advantages of wind energy and solar energy resources to vigorously promote the construction of new energy bases with a scale of 10 million kilowatts. The planned new energy scale is 53.08 million kilowatts. At present, 4.63 million kilowatts have been completed and put into operation, and 4.55 million kilowatts are under construction. 43.9 million kilowatts.

Xiang Qing, deputy director of the Minsheng Industrial Park Management Committee of Mulei County, introduced: While building a 10-million-kilowatt-level wind power photovoltaic power generation project in Mulei County, it is also attracting investment in chain extension, supplementary chain, strong chain, and chain extension, and the introduction of wind power. Upstream, midstream and downstream industries such as photovoltaics, energy storage, etc., adopt a coordinated development model of new energy development and equipment manufacturing, fully expand the entire industrial chain and continue to promote development, make the new energy supporting manufacturing industry stronger, better and bigger, and promote high-quality new energy industries development and improve the level of new energy grid-connected operation and management.

In recent years, Mulei County has maintained a rapid development trend in the installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power. In 40 wells in Mulei County, the wind power station where Mulei Shenneng Energy Development Co., Ltd. is located will be completed and put into operation at the end of December 2020. Workers are testing the operating indicators of each unit. From the date when the project was connected to the grid to February 28, 2023, the accumulated on-grid electricity is 1.125 billion kwh, which can supply the electricity consumption of 1.5 million people for a year, saving a total of 342,700 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 90.02 tons. Zhang Zhuo, general manager of Mule Shenneng Energy Development Co., Ltd., said.

As the most potential power generation method at present, new energy power generation has become one of the country's emerging industries due to its natural greenness and low carbon emissions, which will greatly help the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality.

It is understood that there are currently 24 wind power investment companies stationed in Mulei, including China Power Investment, Huaneng, Shenzhen Energy, Guangdong Hydropower, and Shaanxi Investment Group. They have invested in 57 wind power projects with a total investment of nearly 40 billion yuan. There are wind power equipment manufacturing companies stationed in Mulei. Goldwind, Dongfang Electric, Taisheng Tower, Shanghai Yantong, Beijing Shuangjie, Zhongdian Xinyuan and other enterprises have attracted investment and signed contracts with more than 10 wind and power manufacturing enterprises such as Beijing Shuangjie and Sichuan Baoguang this year.Editor / He Yurong
