The 300-megawatt wind power project in Mulei County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, undertaken by China National Coal Group Corporation (China Coal Group), successfully completed reverse power transmission at its 220 kV booster substation, with the first wind turbine connected to the grid.
It provides strong support for China’s carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, showcasing the central state-owned enterprise’s commitment to supporting the development of Xinjiang.
The project has a total installed capacity of 300 MW, complemented by a 30 MW/60 MWh electrochemical energy storage system. A 220 kV booster substation was also constructed. Upon full grid connection, the project is expected to generate 600 million kWh of electricity annually, saving 190,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 200,000 tons each year.
Since the start of construction, the project team has overcome numerous challenges by strictly following standardized procedures and introducing a smart construction cloud platform, enabling real-time and precise monitoring of the entire construction and hoisting processes.
As China Coal Group’s first centralized market-oriented new energy project connected to the grid in Xinjiang, it holds significant importance in promoting the region’s clean and low-carbon energy transition and accelerating high-quality economic development.
