Dalian Tuoshan Wind Farm is located in Tuoshan Township, Wafangdian City. It is the largest wind power project currently designed in Dalian. The project is invested and constructed by China Power Investment Group Northeast New Energy Development Co., Ltd. It is planned to be connected to the grid for electricity generation on December 1, 2009, with an annual electricity generation capacity of 120 million kilowatt hours. There are strict standards for wind farm site selection, requiring the 30-year average wind speed to reach more than 7 meters per second before construction conditions are met. This time, the company finally chose Tuoshan County after more than a year of testing. Data shows that the average wind speed in Tuoshan County reaches 7.6 meters per second, and wind energy resources have reached the international level 4 standard, whichmakes it very suitable for the construction of wind farms.
Tuoshan Wind Farm is located in Tuoshan Township, extending eastward to Xiyang Township and some coastal areas of Yongning City, covering an area of about 62 square kilometers. The first phase of the wind farm project invested 530 million yuan and installed 33 single-unit wind turbines of 1,500 kilowatts, for a total of 49,500 kilowatts. According to the plan, the installed capacity of Tuoshan wind farm will reach 300,000 kilowatts, with a total investment of 2.8 billion yuan. The Tuoshan Wind Farm represents a major breakthrough for China Power Investment Northeast Company's wind energy projects. Compared with the previous unit capacity of 50,000 kilowatts in Chifeng and Beipiao, the Dalian Tuoshan Wind Power Project will be the largest wind turbine cluster of China Power Investment Northeast Company.
