On December 14, the CHN Energy 200 MW wind power project in Wuqia County, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, successfully achieved full capacity grid connection. This milestone marks the official operation of the highest-altitude wind farm in Northwest China.

Located on the Pamirs in Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, the wind farm features turbines installed at elevations ranging from 2,800 to 3,300 meters, making it the highest operational wind farm in the region. The project has a total installed capacity of 200 MW, consisting of 31 wind turbines with individual capacities of 5 MW each and 7 turbines with capacities of 6.5 MW each. It also includes a supporting energy storage system with a capacity of 50 MW/200 MWh. Once fully operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 540 million KWh of electricity annually, enough to meet the yearly power needs of 300,000 local households.

As the first wind power project in southern Xinjiang to achieve full capacity grid connection, this initiative not only provides valuable experience in the construction and maintenance of high-altitude, low-wind-speed wind farms but also significantly contributes to the region's green and low-carbon transformation.

In recent years, CHN Energy has actively promoted the development of large-scale renewable energy bases and the construction of the comprehensive energy corridor for outbound transmission of electricity from Xinjiang, playing a crucial role in supporting the economic and social development of Xinjiang and ensuring a strategic energy resource base for the entire nation.
