China on Wednesday completed the installation of all wind turbines of its Datang Basu Wind Power Project, currently the world's highest altitude wind power project.
In a six-month endeavor, the project saw the full installation of 20 wind turbines, marking the commencement of the final equipment configuration phase before the onset of operation.
Situated in the southeastern part of the Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region, this pioneering wind power initiative plans to erect 20 units of five-megawatt wind turbines, with the highest unit positioned at the remarkable altitude of 5,200 meters, setting a new global record for high-altitude wind power projects.
Starting from April this year, the project is slated to commence grid-connected power generation by the end of October. This project holds the promise of bolstering the region's energy landscape by bridging gaps in hydropower and photovoltaic generation and ensuring uninterrupted power supply during winter peak demands.
"Upon completion, it can generate 223 million kwh of electricity annually, equivalent to saving 73,100 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 182,800 tons. The annual power generation can meet the consumption demand of 5,700 three-member households throughout the year," said Wang Honglang, general manager of the Datang Basu Wind Power Project.
