The company will co-develop this Yandun No-6 wind farm with Xinjiang Huaran Oriental New Energy, a China-based independent power producer.
Comprising one tenth of the total 2,000MW capacity available in the Xinjiang Hami wind power projects, Ming Yang’s winning bid is equivalent to 67 units of 3MW Super Compact Drive (SCD) wind turbine generator.
The bid was launched in October 2010 and is believed to be China’s first onshore wind turbine generator auction for 2.5MW and above capacity turbines.
Ten wind projects in total are expected, with four wind farms in Kushui town and six in Yandun town.
