On February 8, 2026, the first wind power project of Huaneng in Tibet, Huaneng Caipeng Wind Power Project, officially connected its first batch of units to the grid for power generation, marking a new breakthrough in Huaneng's development of new energy in Tibet.

The project is located on a plateau with an average altitude of about 5050 meters in Naidong District, Shannan City, Xizang Autonomous Region, with an installed capacity of 80000 kilowatts and a 16 megawatt/64 megawatt hour network energy storage system. The project plans to install 15 5 MW wind turbines and one 6.25 MW demonstration unit, which is the largest wind turbine unit in Xizang. The project is expected to generate over 223 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, saving approximately 60000 tons of standard coal and reducing CO ₂ emissions by approximately 164000 tons. This will effectively enhance local energy security capabilities and play a positive role in achieving the "dual carbon" goals. Keywords: wind power, new energy Wind power new energy news

The Huaneng Caipeng wind power project has applied a nationally leading blade lightning protection monitoring system. By using optical vibration sensors and fiber optic communication methods, it can fundamentally avoid the additional risks that traditional communication cables and metal sensors may cause in lightning environments.Editor/Cheng Liting
