Recently, the bidding process for the investment entity of a 78.5MW wind power project in Yunnan, which has attracted industry attention, has officially begun. This bidding process has identified investment entities with strong financial strength, rich experience in wind power project development and operation, and advanced technological reserves through open selection, marking the substantive promotion stage of this green energy project.

It is reported that the wind power project is located in an area rich in wind energy resources in Yunnan, with excellent wind energy quality and suitable terrain conditions, providing unique development advantages. The total planned installed capacity of the project is 78.5MW. After completion, it will rely on the transmission channel of Yunnan power grid to achieve efficient consumption of clean electricity. It is expected that the annual on grid electricity will reach more than 180 million kilowatt hours. This move not only effectively replaces traditional fossil energy consumption, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 150000 tons annually, but also brings significant ecological and economic benefits to the local area, helping Yunnan build a green energy core base in the southwest region.

This bidding strictly follows relevant laws and regulations such as the Tendering and Bidding Law of the People's Republic of China, and the bidding scope covers the entire life cycle of project investment, construction, operation, and post maintenance. The bidding party explicitly requires that participating enterprises must have a qualification of Grade B or above for wind power project development, have no less than 2 successful cases of wind power projects of the same scale or above in the past 3 years, and have a sound safety management system and professional technical team. The bidding process will adhere to the principles of openness, fairness, impartiality, and transparency, and strictly screen through multiple stages such as pre qualification, technical evaluation, and business negotiation to ensure the selection of the investment entity with the best comprehensive strength.

As a key supporting project of Yunnan Province's "14th Five Year Plan" for energy development, the implementation of this wind power project will further optimize the regional energy structure and promote the coordinated development of the new energy industry and ecological protection. At the same time, during the project construction period, it will drive the upgrading of local infrastructure and increase employment opportunities. After operation, it will continue to contribute tax revenue to local finance, forming a diversified win-win pattern of "green power generation+industrial empowerment+people's livelihood improvement".

At present, the bidding announcement has been officially released through channels such as the National Public Resource Trading Platform and authoritative industry media, and the bidding registration work has been launched simultaneously. Industry insiders say that this project bidding provides an important opportunity for energy companies with core competitiveness to cooperate, and is expected to attract well-known energy groups and local backbone enterprises such as China Power Investment Corporation, Huaneng, and Datang to participate in the competition. Next, the bidding party will orderly promote the follow-up evaluation work, and it is expected to complete the determination of the investment subject within this year. The project is expected to officially start construction in 2025.

The smooth progress of this project will inject new momentum into the large-scale and high-quality development of the wind power industry in Yunnan and even the southwestern region, providing solid support for achieving the "dual carbon" goal. In the future, with the landing of more green energy projects, Yunnan will continue to consolidate its position as a clean energy province and provide replicable and promotable practical experience for the national energy transformation.Editor/Bian Wenjun
