Fresh wind, clean power in Inner Mongolia

Zhalantun, Inner Mongolia, where stands the first wind turbine of the Wind Energy Clean Heating Project constructed by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC).

When a turbine generator is at full power, it generates about 4,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour of rotation, which can satisfy the electricity consumption of a family of four for one year.

The project is expected to generate 154 million kWh of electricity per year after being fully connected to the grid, equivalent to a savings of 50,000 tons of standard coal.
