All projects aimed at desertification prevention and integrated development of wind and photovoltaic power kicked off construction across northern China's Inner Mongolia as of March 20, according to the region's forestry and grassland bureau.
This move further contributed to the region's efforts to advance the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program. Spanning from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in the west to Heilongjiang province in the east, the program is a large-scale afforestation and ecological project.
Inner Mongolia shouldered over 60% of the program's tasks and workload. It plans to complete the comprehensive management of 2.3 million mu of sandy land and add 13.2 GW of new energy power installed capacity in 2024.
More than 70 projects in the region have sought for national funding support, which target completing the desertification prevention tasks of over 15 million mu of land.
Among all these projects, Kubuqi new energy base, located in Ordos city, is the country's first 10-GW wind and solar base. The base's total installed capacity could reach 12 GW once fully completed, including 8 GW of photovoltaic power and 4 GW of wind power.
Kubuqi base could reduce 6 million tonnes of standard coal consumption and about 16 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It could also transmit 44 TWh of clean electricity to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region each year.
Additionally, one of China's second batch of key wind and photovoltaic projects also started construction in Kubuqi desert. With total investment of 21.13 billion yuan, the 4-GW new energy project has 1.2 GW of wind power capacity and 2.8 GW of photovoltaic capacity.
The 4-GW project is able to transmit 8.5 TWh of green electricity to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region annually. The project would achieve both economic and environmental benefits, with 2.6 million tonnes of standard coal use reductions and about 7 million tonnes of CO2 emission cuts.
