TREE NEWS update: China Three Gorges Renewables grid-connected the first 180 MW of turbines at its 545 MW Mile West wind farm expansion in Yunnan on Nov. 6. The project is the first wind farm Three Gorges has connected in Yunnan during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and the only wind project on Yunnan’s 2026 “top priority” project list.
Three Gorges Energy Grid-Connects First 180 MW of Yunnan Wind Expansion
The significance here is less the megawatt count than the positioning: a single wind project carrying sole status on Yunnan's 2026 top-priority list suggests provincial planning is concentrating support behind a narrow set of developments rather than spreading it across the pipeline. That matters for the equipment suppliers and grid operators tied to the remaining 365 MW, whose pace will test whether the priority label translates into faster delivery. Whether Three Gorges adds further Yunnan wind capacity within the current planning period is the open question worth watching.
