Two departments: Encourage the development of wind farm projects for space-intensive and composite utilization, with priority layout in desert and Gobi regions

The National Forestry and Grassland Administration and the National Energy Administration issued a notice on "Supporting the Development and Construction of Wind Power and Regulating the Use of Forest and Grassland," which proposes to support and guide the scientific layout of wind farm projects. Forestry and grassland authorities at all levels should coordinate with development and reform, natural resources, energy, and other relevant departments to ensure the integration of land spatial planning, forest and grassland-related planning, wind power development planning, and wind power resource surveys. They should provide early guidance on project site selection, promote compliance with legal regulations and policy requirements, encourage the intensive and composite use of space for wind farm project development, and prioritize layouts in areas such as deserts, gobi, and wastelands
