Two wind energy farms to be built in western Guizhou (China)

The construction of the Xiliangshan and Mabaidashan wind power farms in the valleys of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are scheduled to begin at the end of 2010. This marks the acceleration of the construction of a "wind turbines valley" energy base on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

One wind farm will be built in Jiucaiping area of Zhushi Town, Hezhang County, Bijie, western Guizhou, which is Guizhou’s highest point with an attitude of 2,900 meters. Another wind farm will be in the Caohai area of Weining County, which is home to a national-level natural preservation zone and plateau wetlands.
