Highest wind power generation, storage project starts building in Tibet

Construction of the world highest wind power generation and energy storage project started in Nagqu City of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region on Wednesday.

Scheduled to be completed in 2025, the project is another example of China's advance of clean energy projects at its high-altitude areas.

With a total installed capacity of 100 megawatts, the wind turbines will be built at locations with an average altitude of 5,000 meters.

The project's energy storage system will be able to continuously provide 80,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in four hours.

"The project is located at the junction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Upon its completion, it will be able to generate around 237 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year. That will be a very reliable support for energy supply in northern Tibet," said Hu Jiansheng, vice president of the Nagqu branch of CHN Energy Investment Group (CHN Energy).
