China Huaneng Group, one of the largest power producers in the country, achieved a remarkable milestone as its new energy installed capacity has surpassed 60 GW.
On June 30, its Shangdu 2-GW onshore wind project was fully connected to the grid, marking this historic accomplishment, according to the report on its website.
Committed to green transition in the industry and the country's "dual-carbon" goals, the company has been relentless in its efforts to achieve breakthroughs in both the scale and efficiency of new energy development, with its new energy installed capacity surpassing 50 GW by the end of last year.
By far, low-carbon and clean energy has accounted for over 44% of the company's total installed capacity, Huaneng said.
Shangdu wind project, located in northern China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is running integrated with an adjacent coal-fired power plant with a capacity of 3.72 GW. This integration optimizes the coordination between coal and wind power, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
The project has achieved breakthroughs in the design and construction of megawatt-scale onshore wind farms, employing for the first time wind turbines with a capacity exceeding 4 MW.
Five wind farms are constructed alongside the establishment of five 220-KV boosting stations and one 500-KV central aggregation station, which jointly transmit power to the North China Power Grid via a 500-KV transmission line shared with the coal power units.
Annually, the project will deliver approximately 6.5 TWh of clean electricity to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 5.4 million tonnes, bringing significant economic and environmental benefits.
