World’s Highest Altitude Wind Power Project

China on Wednesday completed the installation of all wind turbines of its Datang Basu Wind Power Project, currently the world’s highest altitude wind power project.

Situated in the southeastern part of the Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region, this pioneering wind power initiative plans to erect 20 units of five-megawatt wind turbines, with the highest unit positioned at the remarkable altitude of 5,200 meters, setting a new global record for high-altitude wind power projects.Starting from April this year, the project is slated to commence grid-connected power generation by the end of October.
