Dataset description
The manufactured iron towers, equipped to support 40 cable lines, are specifically used for the construction of wind farms. These towers are part of the infrastructure that enables the mounting of 33 domestically produced 1.5 megawatt (MW) wind turbines, which are utilised for generating renewable energy and reducing environmental impacts through substitution effects.

Geographic context
The data regarding the parameters of wind power has been collected from Wang (2012). A wind farm equipped with 33 domestic 1.5 megawatts (MW) wind turbines is regarded as a case study to analyze the environmental impact and its substitution effects. The wind farm is located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, the province in which most of China’s wind power is installed (Xia and Song, 2017).
