The Xinjiang Energy Group's new energy 2.5 million kilowatt wind power project has officially started construction in Qitai County, marking a landmark project for a large-scale clean energy base in the autonomous region. The project is divided into three sub projects, supporting three 220 kV collection stations. After being put into operation, the annual clean electricity transmission capacity will reach 4.36 billion kilowatt hours, saving about 1.32 million tons of standard coal and reducing 330000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. It will effectively promote the green transformation of energy structure in northern Xinjiang. Editor/Cheng Liting
