Fujian Putian Nanri Phase 3 Wind is a 48 MW wind power plant in Fujian, China. It is operated by Putian Nanri Houshanzai Windpower. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 41k homes (estimated). It ranks #3931 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2005, it is around 21 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 10.7% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Capacity provenance
The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 16 MW for Fujian Putian Nanridao (Houshanzai) wind, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).

In context: how this plant compares
At 48 MW, Fujian Putian Nanri Phase 3 Wind is around the median wind plant in China (49 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Local climate & thermal context
This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 25.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 76% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 22/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
How it compares & nearby plants
The #655 largest wind power plant of 835 in China by capacity.
