The Beijing Energy Huolinhe B First Phase 49.5MW Wind Farm Project (hereafter refers to the proposed project) is to utilize wind resources for electricity generation through the construction of a wind farm with a total capacity of 49.5MW and a 66kV transmission station at the southwest of Huolinhe City, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, P.R. China. The proposed project involves the installation of 33 wind turbines with capacities of 1500 kW each, which amount to a total installed capacity of 49.5MW.The electricity generated from the project will be supplied to the Northeast China Power Grid. The estimated annual net electricity output and emission reductions of the proposed project are 108,440MWh and 124,262tCO2e, respectively. The proposed project is a grid-connected renewable energy project.

The proposed project makes contribution to the local sustainable development as follows:

1. GHG emission reduction

The proposed project activity will achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by reducing CO2 emissions, as grid-connected fossil fuel-fired power dominates in the Northeast China Power Grid.

2. Pollutants emission reduction through replacing fossil fuel combustion The proposed project is to reduce grid-connected fossil fuel-fired power plants in the Northeast China Power Grid, and thus reduce fossil fuel consumption and avoid pollutants emission, such as sulfur dioxide and dust, brought by fossil fuel combustion. Therefore, the proposed project has obvious environmental benefit.
3. Employment opportunities

The conducting of the proposed project will offer job opportunities for local people, the estimated job created in construction period and the operational period are about 4 hundred and 35, respectively. The temporary work includes assembly and installation of the wind turbines and the long-term work can be the maintenance of the facilities, etc.
