The Urumqi 500000 kilowatt wind power project invested and constructed by China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. has successfully achieved full capacity grid connection. This not only marks the official operation of the largest single unit capacity wind power project independently invested and constructed by China Energy Construction, but also means that the first high-altitude mountain wind power project in Urumqi has begun to inject a continuous stream of clean power into regional development. This project is like a string of green pearls embedded on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, transforming the howling wind into bright electricity.

The largest self invested wind power project

The project is fully invested and constructed by China Energy Construction Investment Corporation, with a total installed capacity of 500000 kilowatts and a total of 54 wind turbines installed. The entire project innovation adopts a batch construction mode, which is implemented in three areas: A, B, and C. Among them, Zone A is located in the tourism core area of Urumqi County, equipped with 16 wind turbines with a single capacity of 7.5 megawatts and an installed capacity of 120000 kilowatts; The B area is located in the central area of the Dabancheng wind zone with superior wind resources, and has installed 14 wind turbines with a single capacity of 10 megawatts and an installed capacity of 140000 kilowatts; The C area is located in the Tianshan Mountains and has installed 24 wind turbines with a single capacity of 10 megawatts, with an installed capacity of 240000 kilowatts. The project integrates challenges such as high altitude, mountainous environment, and large capacity units, demonstrating China's comprehensive strength in constructing large-scale wind power projects under complex conditions.

Balancing economic and ecological benefits

After the project is fully operational, it is expected to provide approximately 1.3 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving about 400000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.11 million tons, with significant energy-saving and emission reduction benefits. These green power sources will strongly support the economic and social development of Urumqi and surrounding areas, optimize the local energy structure, and reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels. At the same time, the project pays attention to ecological protection during the construction process, accumulating valuable experience for implementing large-scale clean energy projects in ecologically sensitive areas and achieving coordinated development of energy development and environmental protection.

Assist in regional energy transformation and development

As the first high-altitude mountain wind power project in Urumqi and an important benchmark project for new energy in Xinjiang, the successful grid connected power generation of this project plays an important demonstration and leading role. It not only enhances China's ability to integrate the entire industry chain of new energy investment, construction, and operation, but also injects strong impetus into Xinjiang's acceleration of building a national large-scale clean energy base and constructing a new type of power system. The clean electricity produced by the project will continue to provide guarantees for local industrial and agricultural production and residents' lives, and deeply embed the concept of green development in the regional economic context, contributing substantial strength to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.Editor/Gao Xue
