Ningxia's power grid not only has 330KV and 220KV main grids throughout the region, but also has 110KV, 35KV and 10KV distribution grids covering all areas of the region. The nine planned wind farm sites are close to Internet access points, which can meet the synchronization needs between power grid development and wind farm development and construction.
The electricity production group has an installed capacity of 160,000 kilowatts. Among them, Helanshan Wind Power Station has 120,000 kilowatts, which is the largest wind farm in China and one of the first batches of CDM demonstration units in China. There are 132,000 kilowatts under construction and 250,000 kilowatts of installed capacity have been completed. The group company plans to reach 1 million installed capacity by the end of the "11th Five-Year Plan" period and will eventually buildnine large and medium-sized wind farms, including Helan Mountain, Qingtongxia, Hongsibao, Changshantou and Taiyangshan.
Yinyi Wind Power Company is a wind power company jointly established by Ningxia Power Generation Group and Yinxing Energy Co., Ltd. It has an installed wind capacity of 100,000 kilowatts under construction, the first phase of Changshantou Wind. The farm is 50,000, and the first phase of Hongsibao Wind Farm is 50,000. In March 2007, the first phase of Changshantou began to generate electricity. By the end of 2007, the first phase of Hongsibao was able to produce electricity. Around 2009, installed capacity would reach 250,000 kilowatts. The CDM compensation mechanism of Yinyi Wind Power is 10 USD per ton of carbon dioxide, and the estimated annual compensation amount per 100,000 units is 10 million RMB.
