Fighting hard in "summer," never pausing. Two months ago, State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) held a kickoff meeting for strategic emerging industries and major energy supply-guarantee projects of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Construction was fully launched on more than 200 projects with a total installed capacity of over 80 million kilowatts and total investment exceeding 500 billion yuan. Among them, the 440,000-kilowatt wind power project of the Balin Right Banner thermal power flexibility transformation project was included as a centralized onshore wind power project in the major strategic emerging industry project arrangements.
　　Recently, at the project construction site, one could see a forest of tower cranes, heavy traffic of vehicles and people, and a scene of bustling activity. "The position where we stand now is the construction area of the 220KV booster station. Its main function is to collect electric energy through 35KV collector lines. The entire project is progressing in an orderly manner according to plan, and the construction of the overall booster station is expected to be completed in October," said Yang Huiwen, deputy director of the Chifeng New Energy Project Preparation Office and deputy general manager of Inner Mongolia Daban New Energy Co., Ltd.
　　It is understood that this project is currently the largest wind power project of SPIC Inner Mongolia Energy Co., Ltd. in the Chifeng area, with a total investment of 1.977 billion yuan. It will build 71 main selected turbine positions within the wind farm and a supporting 220KV booster station. The total installed capacity of the wind turbine generators will reach 440,000 kilowatts, and the construction scale exceeds the total existing new energy installed capacity of Balin Right Banner. After the project is completed, it is expected to generate 1.108 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, with an annual utilization of 2,520 hours. It can save 334,300 tons of standard coal per year and correspondingly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 918,000 tons and nitrogen oxide emissions by 168.53 tons. It will play a positive role in promoting the construction of a low-carbon and clean energy system in the Chifeng area and achieve a win-win situation in economic, social and environmental benefits.
　　Yang Huiwen introduced: "This project carries out flexibility transformation for 6 thermal power units of 3 power generation enterprises. On the premise of not sacrificing stability, increasing the proportion of new energy consumption is of great significance for advancing the supply-side structural reform of new energy and improving the complementary regulation capacity of various types of energy. Next, we will go all out to advance construction in all stages, including booster station construction, collector line erection, wind turbine foundation pouring, and equipment installation and commissioning, and strive to achieve grid-connected operation by the end of the year."
