1) Resource of the Wind energy

The wind farm has the advantage of its inland location for generating the electricity. In China, the Inner Mongolia owns 39% of the wind resource in the whole country，and Hutengxile ( the wind farm location) of Inner Mongolia is the most enriched area for the wind power according to the wind map of China.
Since Dec.1993, The Department of Electricity of Inner Mongolia has started to setup the wind tower to measure the wind resources in Hutengxile. In 1995, the Chinese and foreign experts evaluated the wind resources in this area, while Princeton University did research for the practicability. Later in 1998, Huitengxile was listed as a reserved wind power project for demonstration by United Nation Development and Planning (UNDP) in the world and the World Bank had agreed to provide a long-term loan to construct the wind power there. In the past decade, many experts from countries such as the US, Britain, Denmark, the Holland, Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany, Spain, India and Japan have done their research in Hutengxile on this site. They generally believe that because the area is under the impact of the high pressure of Siberian cold wind and the Mongolian meteorol as well as middle latitude in westerlies, this particular site is a wind enriched area with one of the best wind qualities in the world. Furthermore, this wind farm is close to economic-rich area, thus the demanding for the clean energy from wind power will increase tremendously. 
At the beginning of the year 2005, the wind power project of the Huitengxile has been brought into line with the state plan by the government of Inner Mongolia, and classified as a key project for the development of the wind power as well.
   The twenty towers for wind machines, set up years ago, have collected data for the wind power. The measurement has proved that Huitengxile, the location of our wind farm, has wonderful grade orderliness of wind speed. The statistics are:

• 1. The annual average wind speed every year≥7.0m/s（according to 1/7rule）about 10 meters high above the ground.
  2. The annual average wind speed V40≥7 × (40/10)1/7=8.5 m/s about 40 meters high above the ground.
  3. The annual average wind speed V50≥7 × (50/10)1/7=8.8 m/s about 50 meters high above the ground.
  4. The annual average wind speed V6≥7 × (6/10)1/7=9m/s about 60 meters high above the ground.
  5. The annual average wind speed V7≥7 × (7/10)1/7=9.2/s about 70 meters high above the ground.

2) The conditions of the electricity distribution

 One of the reasons that we selected this site to set up the towers for the wind machines is because it does has a reasonable proximity to connect the transmission line to the existing grid of Gaoshun transformer substation. Our wind farm in Huitengxile lies on the west electrical trunk of the east covey of Inner Mongolia. By now, there are 220kv and 500kv electrical grids of super high voltage crossing the wind farm. The transformer substation of Gaoshun is only 15kmts away from the wind farm. The second transformer substation will be complete by 2006. Both are 220kv transformer substations and have 110kv and 35kv outlet boxes of alternations. The location advantage makes ascending the electric grid much easier.

3)The conditions of the roads to the wind farm

 The wind farm is 18km to Zhuozi county, while Beijing-Baotou railway (one of the main railway in western China) crosses this county.  Kezuo highway which connects and crosses the wind farm meets the 110 national highway as well as the Beijing-Lasha ( the capital of Tibet) highway. Therefore the large-size equipment can easily be transferred to the wind farm.

4) The capacity of the wind power project

According to the plan of the government of Inner Mongolia and Wulanchabu county for the development of the wind power, the capacity of wind farm in Huitengxile is 4000 MW which is considered the key project under the wind power development plan by the Chinese government. In the year of 2010, it will be setup to 1000 MW and will reach 4000 MW by the year of 2020. At the present, the construction situation of the wind farm in Huitengxile is the following: 
1). From 1993 to August, 1995, 68.5 MW had been set up with 94 generating units in Huitengxile. The maximum unit generates 1.5MW while the minimum does 0.55MW. The average unit generates electricity 0.729MW per unit. Most of them are working well.
2). There are two companies that are constructing 200 MW in 2005 and plan to complete in 2006.
3). Another two companies plan to start their construction in the earlier of 2006 for 100 MW and will complete work by 2007.
4) In addition, two companies are filing applications for building wind power projects, about 100 MW and also plan to complete the set up by 2007.

According to our contract with the local government, our company has the right to develop the 32 km2 land in which this project will build up wind power to 150-250 MW. The project will include the plan to setup 50 MW in the first phase of the total investment.  In the early of 2006, the application report will be done and approved soon followed by the finance and set up of the project . In Mar. 2006，our company will hold a public bidding for the wind sets. In April, May and June, the bidding for the design for the wind power construction will be held. The predicted completion for the wind power construction is October, 2006.
