The plant will produce approximately 50 megawatts of electricity upon completion, and will consist of 33 wind turbines each capable of generating 1.5 MW of electricity.[3] Turbines will be sourced from China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited[4] and were jointly developed with the German firm aerodyn.[5][3]

Construction began in 2015, and the last turbine was installed on April 23, 2016.[6] Electric generation is expected to commence in August 2016,[6] It is expected that energy provided by the farm will be sufficient to provide electricity to some 100,000 households in the local area.[7]

Total costs for the project are expected to total $115 million,[7] with financing provided by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.[8] Total power generation from this wind project is 49.5 MW[9]
