风电下乡难在哪儿？

Core Viewpoint - The "Thousand Villages and Ten Thousand Towns Wind Action" aims to enhance wind power development in rural areas, utilizing idle land to increase collective income for villages while exploring new investment and revenue-sharing models [1][2]. Group 1: Project Development and Scale - By September 2025, over 15.5 million kilowatts of "Wind Action" projects have confirmed investment subjects [2]. - China's onshore wind energy potential at 150 meters height is approximately 590 billion kilowatts, while the installed capacity in 2024 is only 52.1 billion kilowatts, representing about 9.5% of the technically exploitable resources [2]. - Rural areas in central and eastern China are expected to be the main battleground for future wind power growth [2]. Group 2: Land Use Challenges - Land use is a critical challenge for rural wind power development, with a single wind turbine requiring approximately 2,000 square meters of land during construction [3][4]. - Current land policies impose restrictions on converting rural land to construction land, leading developers to prioritize scattered idle land [3]. - The construction of wind turbines must consider various factors, including distance from residential areas and transportation logistics [4]. Group 3: Revenue Models and Community Involvement - Prior to the "Wind Action," rural wind power projects were smaller in scale compared to solar projects, primarily developed by state-owned enterprises due to high investment and lengthy approval processes [7]. - A 6.25-megawatt wind turbine project has an estimated dynamic investment of about 40 million yuan, with a project lead time of around six months [7]. - Various revenue-sharing models have emerged, including collective shareholding, resource exchange for infrastructure improvement, diversified land revenue, and local employment generation [8][9].
