China started construction of the largest wind power plant

With an investment of RMB 120 billion (US $ 17.5 billion), this wind power plant will reach 5.1 million kW capacity by the end of 2010 and will increase to 12.7 million kW by the end of 2015, becoming China’s largest wind power plant. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Committee
China Development Reform Truong Quoc Bao said the wind power industry in China is now entering a new stage of development.
After a few years of intensive construction, by the end of 2008, China’s wind capacity reached 12.17 million kilowatts, ranking the fourth in the world, after the US, Germany and Spain.
However, the wind industry in China is facing obstacles such as the imbalance in the distribution of mining resources and the market, the difficulties in bringing wind power into the national electricity grid and wind power plants currently. Now has a small capacity.
Therefore, the construction of a large-capacity wind power plant in Tuu Tuyen will help maximize the efficiency of using wind power in China./.
