KAZAKHSTAN-ZHANATAS-CHINA-BUILT-WIND FARM

(220914) -- NUR-SULTAN, Sept. 14, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A staff member monitors the operation of wind turbines at the control center of the 100-MW Zhanatas wind farm near the city of Zhanatas in the Zhambyl Region, Kazakhstan, Sept. 13, 2022. The wind farm, with 40 wind turbines and a combined capacity of 100 megawatts, is jointly-held by China Power International Holding and Visor Kazakhstan. As central Asia's largest wind farm built by a Chinese firm, the wind farm was put into operation in 2021, capable of generating 350 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. It alleviates the power shortage in southern Kazakhstan and has brought the once quiet industrial city back to life. Compared with a thermal power plant with the same capacity, this wind farm is expected to save about 110,000 tons of standard coal per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): WANG YANG, Deputy head of Chigu wind farm project STORYLINE: Chigu wind farm in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region has generated over 200 million kWh of green electricity since it went into operation in 2021. Located in Chigu Town, Comai County in Xizang's Shannan City, the project has installed 25 turbines at altitudes ranging from 5,000 to 5,200 meters, which is the highest of its kind in the world. The wind farm has a total installed capacity of 72.6 megawatts (MW). The first phase of the project went into operation in 2021, and the second phase in October last year.

      (231207) -- BEIJING, Dec. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Dec. 5, 2023 shows wind turbines in operation in Yilan County, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Heilongjiang, the northernmost province in China, is now largely covered in ice and snow, but the construction and operation of the 200-megawatt fourth phase of a wind farm project in Yilan County of the province are by no means "frozen." The project aims to erect 32 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6.25 megawatts. The first batch of them were connected to the grid for power generation on Nov. 28. When fully operational, turbines of the fourth phase are expected to annually upload 570 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the grid, which saves an equivalent of 169,000 tonnes of standard coal, and accordingly reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 462,000 tonnes.
