World’s highest wind farm completed in Tibet
http://www.rtcc.org/2013/08/13/worlds-highest-wind-farm-completed-in-tibet/China’s Longyuan Power has announced the installation of the world’s highest wind farm, located in Tibet.
The company has installed five turbines on a wind farm about 4,900 meters above sea level and plans to install a further 28 wind turbines located in Naqu Prefecture in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region.
Once fully complete, the farm will generate 15MW of energy, enough to power 13,500 homes.
Tibet, because of its harsh natural environment, and Macau are the last two Chinese regions without wind farms. To date, Tibet’s annual wind energy reserves amount to 93 billion/kWh, the seventh largest in China.
