Nan’ao Leads in Wind-Power Generation
Written by: Nika YeWednesday, 10. 1. 2008 – Category: News in Brief
Nan’ao Island—also known as “the Chinese pioneer of wind-electricity development” – has created a record of sorts in clean power generation. According to a report in the China News Service, it reached a new high in wind energy generation in the past eight months by producing 180 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
Nan’ao Island is located in the south west of the Taiwan Strait and its wind-energy generation potential is among the highest in the world. Over the years, it has become a ‘hot’ favourite for companies wanting to invest in clean-electricity.
InfraVest GmbH from Germany is building infrastructure needed for generating 20,000 kw of electricity. A large Chinese venture, the China Guangdong Nuclear Power, has also begun preliminary work for investing in wind-electricity in Nan’ao. Upon completion of the projects in the pipeline Nan’ao will generate about 400 thousand kilowatts of clean power.

Wind Power is one of the best alternative energy sources that we should utilize, it is very clean and non-polluting. I was able to built a small wind generator at home which can power small appliances.
