CGN Gansu Anxi Daliang Wind Power Project, China
Project Type: Wind Project/FarmLocation: Anxi County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province in Northwest China
Total Installed Capacity: 49.5 Mega Watt
Accreditation/Verification Standard: Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS)
Verification Entity: TUV SUD
Vintage: 2008
The objective of this grid-connected renewable power project is to utilise the wind resources for generating renewable electricity to supply into the Gansu Grid (an integral part of the Northwest China Grid).
The project activity will create emission reductions by replacing electricity generated and supplied by fossil fuel-fired power plants.
The project involves the installation of 33 turbines, each of which has a capacity of 1500kW, providing a total installed capacity of 49.5MW.
The project is expected to generate approximately 117, 000 GWh per year to be sold into the Gansu Grid, as well as generating an annual average of around 115,600 emission reductions tCO2e.
The project contributes to the sustainable development of China and the local community mainly by:
- reducing GHG emissions in China by replacing electricity generated and supplied by fossil fuel-fired power plants;
- helping to stimulate the growth of renewable energy technologies in China, especially wind power;
- reducing other pollutants resulting from the power generation industry in China; and
- creating local employment opportunities during the project construction and operation.
The project employed 150 people for the installation of the turbines and 15 people for the running of the plant.
Rongcheng Dongchudoa Wind Farm, China
Project Type: Wind Project/Farm
Location: Shandong Province, China
Capacity: 15 Mega Watt
Accreditation: Voluntary Carbon Standard 2007
The project site is located in Dongchu Island, Shandong Province, China (the exact location is at the latitude of 37?2'44'N and longitude of 122?34'26''E.) The island is a narrow stretch of land covering an area of 2.6km2, 6km off the coast. The Location is as shown in figure A.1. The terrain of the project site is characterised by low hills and mountains, with an altitude ranging between 2.0m to 10.1m above sea level.
The site is open and wide, so 10 turbines with a capacity of 1.5MW were installed generating over 28 000 MWh of electricity every year for the local community and the excess being supplied to the North China grid.
The project employed 150 people for the installation of the turbines and 15 people for the running of the plant.
