Guanting Wind Power Plant

Good on China for getting the Guanting wind power plant up and running, as this will offer a substantial boost towards offering 20% power supply to Beijing’s Olympic venues by virtue of being wind-generated. This particular wind power plant has an installed capacity of 64,500 kilowatts, and is tipped to offer up to 100 million-kWh electricity annually - sufficient to meet the daily demand of 100,000 households. For those who love data (and a green earth), they’d be pleased to know that this will also help reduce yearly emission of carbon dioxide by 100,000 tones and save 50,000 tones of coal each year.
