CWP to develop Baicheng wind power resources

China WindPower has agreed with Baicheng group for the exclusive right to develop 1500MW wind power resources. The Baicheng wind power exploitation leading group is authorised by municipal government to manage the wind resource exploitation and the local wind power industry development.

Baicheng area has plenty of high quality wind resource: with an exploitable wind power scale of 207.6 trillion KWH, exploitable area of more than 5000 square kilometers, and a wind power capacity of 20GW.

The planned wind farm is about 5000 square kilometers with a planned total capacity of over 10GW. The current capacity is over 1GW. The development of wind power in Baicheng becomes the sharp point in China's new energy sector.

In 2009, the wind power development target of Baicheng adds another 1GW and the total planned capacity is over 2GW, and it has already been included in the national large scale wind farm plan. To support the national plan, five 500KV transformer substations will be constructed and four of them will be located in Baicheng area. The construction project is already in process, and it will guarantee the transmission of the wind power.

Furthermore, the price of the wind power is as high as US$.0893 per KWH.
