Xinjiang to build China's biggest wind farm

By People's Daily Online

China's largest wind power farm will be built in Xinjiang's Turpan, according to sources with China Huadian Corporation, one of China's five power companies.

Perhaps Turpan will not only be famous for its grapes, but also a windmill forest.
According to China Huadian, a contract for developing wind power has been signed by the power company and local administration in Turpan in late March.

China Huadian will invest a total of 15 billion yuan to set up a 2-million-kilowatt wind farm in Turpan. The project will proceed with the annual installation of 40,000 kilowatts. Some 1.5 billion yuan will be injected in the first five years to install 300,000 kilowatts.
