Wind project set to energize rural Guizhou

Beijing Tianrun New Energy Investment Co Ltd has invested 1.35 billion yuan ($212 million) in a wind power project in Guizhou province, in a bid to promote local economic transformation.

The whole project involves three phases. Construction of the first phase, with a maximum capacity of 50 megawatts, began recently in Qiaojia town of Yanhe county in Tongren city, with an investment of 450 million yuan from Beijing Tianrun.

The project began wind tests in 2016 and was officially launched two years later. When the whole project is completed, it will become a supplemental source for the local electricity network and even be able to supply power to the grid in Tongren.
