Yangtianhu Wind Farm is the first demonstration one in Hunan Province, with a total installed capacity of 86,300 kilowatts. Phase I was completed and put into operation in 2010 with an installed capacity of 36,300 kilowatts. Phase II was put into operation on October 31, 2020, with an installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts. 

 

Yangtianhu Wind Farm has been combined to the grid and included in Hunan’s six batch of approval plans. 

 

“The biggest problem in the process of wind farm construction is to confirm the land rights.” Zhang Guoqing, director of the engineering construction department of China Huadian Corporation Fuxin Energy Development Co., Ltd., Hunan Branch, said that a special working group was set up to solve the project-related problems and ensure its smooth progress. The Phase II project was completed and put into use three months ahead of schedule.  

 

During the construction of Yangtianhu Phase II project, local villagers were employed to build roads and drainage ditches. It not only helped locals get job, but also increased some villagers’ income. 

 

Meanwhile, the company fully supports the public welfare undertakings of the local governments, sponsors the construction of basketball courts, village roads and drinking water projects, in an effort to contribute to the development of rural education and create convenient transportation and safe drinking water for villagers.

 

 

Up to now, there are 42 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 86,300 kilowatts. It’s expected that the annual grid power will reach 181.43 million kilowatts and save 34,300 tons of standard coal and 71,900 tons of water for the country every year.

 

The Phase I project has reduced 620,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions since 2010, and Phase II has reduced more than 113,000 tons since 2020. 

 

Zhang Guoqing said that Phase III project is being prepared. Beihu District opened a green channel to accelerate its progress.
