Scottish and Southern Energy has finalised the first of four agreements with GD Power Development Co, a subsidiary of China Guodian Corp, for the development of four new wind farms in north east China. Each of the four wind farms is expected to have an installed capacity of around 50 MW.
SSE will purchase approximately 2 million Carbon Emissions Reduction Certificates (CERs) over a period of five years from the start of 2008 under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
The construction of the first of the wind farms, GD Xingcheng Haibin is already under way and the last of them is expected to be commissioned during 2008.
