The first wind turbine was installed at the Core Satsakha 300MW Wind Power Plant in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The wind farm has a maximum elevation of 5,193 meters, making it the largest wind farm under construction in the world in terms of elevation and stand-alone capacity. Located in the northern foothills of the Himalayas, it is only 140 km from the summit of Chomolungma (Mt. Everest). The total installed capacity is 300 megawatts (MW), of which 40 wind turbines with a stand-alone capacity of 5 MW will be installed, for a total of 200 MW. The single wind turbine will have a diameter of 183 meters, a blade length of 90.1 meters, a hub height of 105 meters, and a total weight of 483.9 tons. In normal operation, each revolution of a single blade can generate approximately 3 kW of electricity, or 5,000 kW per hour.
