World’s Highest Altitude Wind Power Project Operates at Full Capacity

The world’s highest altitude wind Power Project, Datang Basu Wind Power Project in southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, officially began full-capacity operation. Nestled in southeastern part of Xizang, the project has a peak elevation of 5,200 meters, with the turbine nacelle reaching an altitude of 5,305 meters.

The facility comprises 20 wind turbines, each with a hub height of 110 meters and a rotor diameter of 195 meters. The sweeping blades cover an area exceeding three hectares, equivalent to more than four standard soccer fields. Under optimal wind conditions, each turbine can generate 9.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity per rotation.
