The project was built by the Sichuan company of the China Huadian Corporation. Since its completion, Guangyuan city's total wind power installed capacity has reached 1.04 million kilowatts.

As of the end of 2023, Guangyuan is home to 13 grid-connected power generation projects, which are expected to provide 2 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity every year. In addition, they can save 680,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.76 million tons within a year.
