It was learned from Chenzhou Reform and Development Commission that in the first half year, the total generating capacity of new energy projects of Chenzhou city was 492.58million kwhs which was doubled compared with last year. 23 grid-connected projects with the capacity of 0.832million kwhs were available during that period, contributing 18% of the total capacity of Chenzhou city (including Liyujiang A & B Power Plants of China Resources with the capacity of 1.80million kwhs).
Wind power projects were being improved greatly that till the end of this June, 19 wind power projects were connected to the grid, covering 397 turbines with the capacity of 881.07million kwhs, up 115% compared last year while up 20 times compared to "11th five-year plan" period.
