Jilin Tongyu Huaneng Wind is a 100 MW wind power plant in China, operated by Huaneng Group. It contributes 0.2% of China's total wind capacity of 50,905 MW. Commissioned in 2010, it ranks #38 of 833 wind plants in the country. This facility's 100 MW represents a small fraction of China's wind energy output. The largest wind plant in China is the Gansu Wind Farm at 6,000 MW, making Jilin Tongyu Huaneng Wind 60 times smaller. Nearby plants include CPI Baicheng power station (1320 MW, Coal), Jilin Xiangyang 1st Phase Wind (400 MW, Wind), and Longhua Baicheng power station (400 MW, Coal). The plant is located in Jilin Province, approximately 200 km northeast of Changchun.

Wind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
