The world's tallest wind farm is attracting attention for its contribution to the clean energy market. Meet the wind farm in China that generates energy for 230 people and is over 5 thousand meters long!
China has opened the world's tallest wind farm, located in Tibet, at an impressive altitude of 5.305 meters. With 20 state-of-the-art turbines, the park is capable of generating 100 kW of clean energy, enough to supply around 230 people in the region. This monumental work represents a milestone in the production of renewable energy in extreme conditions, highlighting China's commitment to sustainable and innovative solutions to meet the the country's growing energy demand.
World's tallest wind farm could generate 5 MW of clean energy
Combining high technology, advanced automation and energy efficiency, the park represents a milestone in the transition to sustainable sources and highlights Tibet as an emerging power in the clean energy sector.
Since it began operating on October 31, China's wind farm has generated 22,42 million kWh as of early December. This generation is enough to meet the demands of approximately 230 thousand people in the region.
- New revolutionary wind turbine promises to generate 400% more energy and displace solar panels by 2024!

- China leads in renewable energy, but breaks record in coal consumption and THREATENS FUTURE of global climate
Comprising 20 turbines, each with a capacity of 5 MW, the world's tallest wind farm, called Basu, can generate up to 223 million kWh per year. This clean energy represents a major step forward in reducing the use of fossil fuels, directly contributing to a more sustainable future.
What makes China’s wind farm most impressive is its high level of automation. With a minimum staff of 8 to 10 people, the entire operation of the turbines is monitored and maintained efficiently. According to Xu Qiduo, responsible for the project, the performance of the turbines is remarkable: “Just one rotation of the 95-meter-long blades can generate 9,5 kWh of energy.”
World's tallest wind farm impress
Tibet, with altitudes ranging from 3.500 to 5.500 meters, is a region marked by extreme challenges, such as harsh climate and difficult access. However, these same conditions provide strong winds, making it the perfect location for large-scale clean energy projects.
In addition to the Basu park, other projects in the region show Tibet's potential, such as the Zhegu wind project in Shannan, the Xigaze integrated solar and wind project in China National Nuclear Corporation, with a capacity of 300 thousand kW.
Currently, about 90% of the electricity installed in the area comes from renewable sources, as recorded in the White Paper “The Practice and Historical Achievements of the Chinese Government's New Strategy for the Tibet Regional Government”.
China’s wind farm is more than a technological achievement: it is a symbol of China’s energy transformation and its global leadership in the fight for a more sustainable planet. Overcoming challenges such as extreme altitudes and operating with cutting-edge technology, the project reinforces the country’s commitment to accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.
Understand Brazil's position in the wind energy market
By 2023, growth in solar and wind power will see the world surpass the 30% renewable electricity mark for the first time, according to a new report from global energy think tank Ember.
Highlighted in the analysis, Brazil generated 89% of its electricity from renewable sources in the year, almost three times the global average, and recorded the second largest growth in wind energy in the world, behind only China.
The enormous potential for generating clean energy in Brazil has attracted large investments, contributing to the progress reported in the document. However, several civil society organizations have drawn attention to the negative aspects that the installation of large structures, without analyzing the socio-environmental impacts, is already causing in small communities.
