Fire Island flood or power supply project suspended

Floods in recent days have triggered rare floods in recent years in Turpan, a region known as the Millennium Fire Land, resulting in the collapse or destruction of 2585 houses, an area of ​​17,000 mu of crops affected, and an emergency transfer of 15,500 people, with direct economic losses exceeding 277 million. Yuan Renminbi.

However, shortly before the flood occurred, it was reported that the Datang Xinjiang Energy Development Corporation Datang Toksun Phase 2 of the 49.5 MW wind power project received good news from the Xinjiang Development and Reform Commission. The flood raids undoubtedly caused a significant blockage in this project.

The second phase of Datang Toksun Wind Farm is located 25 kilometers north of Toksun County, Turpan, Xinjiang. The installed capacity of the project is 49.5 MW, and the installed capacity of the turbine is 33 units of 1500 kilowatts. It is planned to put into production during the year.

Responsive to relevant data, if the project is completed, it is estimated that the annual on-grid electricity will be 95.26 million KWh. Compared with the thermal power unit with the same power generation, the annual savings will be about 32,000 tons of standard coal, about 489 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions, and about 7.6 tons of carbon dioxide. Ten thousand tons will lay a solid foundation for improving the power supply structure in Xinjiang, realizing the diversification of power supply, and increasing the proportion of renewable energy generated by the grid. At the same time, the project will promote the development of the National New Energy Demonstration City and the Harmony Ecological City and the Urban-rural Integration Turpan Demonstration Zone, maintain a good local natural ecological environment, and promote the development and optimization of Datang Xinjiang Energy Development Company's work and optimization. The company's industrial structure is of great significance.

The floods caused the local government to immediately organize the relevant departments to quickly repair the damaged channels, bridges, and roads, and the disaster relief work was fully carried out. After the floods took place, the water sources and water facilities on which the local people depended were destroyed. It was difficult to repair at one time and more than 20,000 people had difficulty in drinking water. It is reported that after the flood, the fire detachment in the Turpan area sent fire engines one after another to send water to the affected people. Many sights such as Davao Amusement Park and Wang Luobin Art Museum in the National Grape Valley Scenic Area of ​​the 5A-level scenic spot were seriously damaged, some scenic spots were forced to close, and the flow of people in the scenic spot dropped sharply. The Scenic Area Management Committee has organized personnel to start clearing the scenic roads and carry out self-rescue and reconstruction.

This series of post-disaster work will inevitably affect the progress of the 49.5 MW project at Toksun Wind Farm Phase II. However, the local government in Turpan will surely eliminate difficulties and properly coordinate the reconstruction of homes and power generation projects and properly solve them.
