China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group Co., the nation's second-biggest nuclear reactor builder, plans to build a wind farm and a hydro-power plant in western China as energy demand rises.
The company will start building a 49.5-megawatt wind farm next month in the northwestern province of Gansu, the State- owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said in a statement posted on its Web site yesterday. Guangdong Nuclear plans to begin construction of a 100-megawatt hydro-station this year in southwestern Sichuan, it said.
China, the world's largest producer and consumer of coal, plans to spend 1.5 trillion yuan ($193 billion) in the 15 years to 2020 to increase the use of renewable resources, such as sunlight, wind, and biomass, to curb pollution. Guangdong Nuclear is diversifying into renewable energy to tap China's growing demand for cleaner-burning fuels.
The company plans to start producing 117 million kilowatt- hours of electricity from the wind farm by the end of this year, and the hydro station will begin generating 500 million kilowatt-hours by 2009, the commission said.
Guangdong Nuclear has about 4,000 megawatts of nuclear power capacity in operation in Guangdong province, and plans additional plants in Guangdong, Liaoning and Fujian, the company said on its Web site.
