Welwind Energy International has completed a land lease agreement to build a wind farm in Zhanjiang.
"The land lease was issued to Welwind on May 19, 2006 by the City's Oceans and Fishery Department permitting the company to build wind energy facilities on the south beach of China," says Vitasti Director, Shannon de Delley. Welwind is a subsidiary of Vitasti.
Welwind plans to build fifty megawatts in the first phase of a six hundred megawatt wind farm on this property. Construction will begin with the arrival of one demonstration wind turbine which will produce enough electricity to power more than one thousand homes.
Construction on the first 50 megawatt project is scheduled to commence in August 2006.
Zhanjiang has a population of over seven million people and plays an important role in China's foreign trade. It has the longest coast line in southern China, which is over 1500 kilometers long. Zhanjiang boasts one of the ten largest ports in China and governs the main passageway to the South China Sea.
