The Huaneng Jilin Tongyu Wind Power project, situated in the far Eastern province of Jilin, China, is a large-scale wind farm which accommodates 67 wind turbines that generate energy year round. By harnessing strong prevailing winds that travel across the North Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan, the carefully located wind turbines generate an estimated 230,800 MWh of electricity annually - enough to power 13,310 homes each year!

Reducing the need for fossil-fuel generated electricity, both contributes towards the country’s green energy transition and increases energy security as electricity is fed directly to China's North East grid. Simultaneously the move towards wind power prevents the release of significant GHG emissions, which would otherwise be generated from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal. In addition the project trains a number of local workers to be proficient in both operational processes and understanding how to monitor and manage the data generated from the wind plant.
