About the project
Hebei Kangbao Sanxiatian Wind Farm Project is located in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, P.R.China. The wind farm contains 33 sets of turbines with a total installed capacity of 49.5 MW. Electricity generated by the project is delivered to the North China Power Grid (NCPG) and displaces power that would have been supplied by fossil-fuel fired power plants, thereby avoiding greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants, including SO2, NOx, and PM. The project is well-regarded by the local community and received strongstakeholder support during the construction phase in 2008.
Operation of the wind farm commenced in 2009, and the project continues to improve air quality and boost tax revenues for the regional government.
