CHINA-FUJIAN-OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE-16MW (CN)

(230719) -- FUZHOU, July 19, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 19, 2023 shows a 16-megawatt wind turbine at the Fujian offshore wind farm operated by the China Three Gorges Corporation off the coast of southeast China's Fujian Province. The world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine off the coast of Fujian Province was successfully connected to the grid and began generating electricity on Wednesday. The wind turbine has the largest single-unit generating capacity of all turbines in operation worldwide, the company said. The turbine's blades are each 123 meters long and can sweep an area of approximately 50,000 square meters -- the size of seven standard soccer fields. It is estimated that the wind turbine will be able to generate more than 66 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the annual electricity consumption needs of 36,000 three-member households. That is equivalent to saving about 22,000 tonnes of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions

    (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.
