Background
The CGN Gansu Anxi project, a grid-connected renewable power project, utilises the wind resources to generate renewable electricity to supply energy into the Gansu Gird, an integral part of the Northwest China Grid.
The Project
 |
The proposed project activity will achieve the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by avoiding CO2 emissions from the business-as-usual scenario, the electricity generation of those fossil fuel-fired power plants connected into the Northwest China Grid.
The project consists of the installation of 33 turbines, each of which have a capacity of 1500kW, providing a total installed capacity of 49.5MW. The project generates approximately 117.368 GWh per year which is sold into the Gansu Grid, and generates emission reductions of about 115,000 tCO2e annual averages.

The benefits
The proposed project clearly fits into the development priority of the PRC, and will support China in stimulating and accelerating the commercialisation of grid-connected renewable energy technologies and the green-power market development. The proposed project will contribute to the sustainable development of the host country and the local community mainly by:
- reducing GHG emissions in China by replacing electricity generated and supplied by fossil fuel-fired power plants;
- helping to stimulate the growth of renewable energy technologies in China, especially wind power;
- reducing other pollutants resulting from the power generation industry in China;
- creating local employment opportunities during the project construction and operation.
