Designed by China Energy Engineering Group Liaoning Electric Power Survey & Design Institute Co., Ltd., it features China’s largest single-unit onshore wind turbines.
The project includes 20 turbines, each with a capacity of 10 MW — setting a new record for commercial onshore wind turbine power in China. These ultra-large turbines significantly improve wind energy efficiency and are equipped with smart operation and maintenance systems for remote monitoring and fault detection, making them well-suited for cold-climate regions.
Each turbine blade is 107 meters long, with a rotor diameter of 220 meters and a swept area of 38,000 square meters, equal to five standard football fields.

To overcome challenges such as strong turbulence and limited land, the project team optimized turbine layout to minimize wake effects and improve power generation. They also developed key technologies for anti-overturning foundation design to address large turbine loads within tight land constraints, solving major technical difficulties.
The project is expected to generate 590 million kWh of clean electricity annually, reducing standard coal consumption by 168,900 tons and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 463,900 tons, enough to meet the annual power needs of 300,000 households.
