China Daily reports this, citing the wind power plant’s operator, China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC), Ukrinform reported.

Located in the desert in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north of the country, with an annual electricity production of over 10 billion kWh, this project is one of the first large-scale wind and solar power plants planned to be built in China’s desert regions. .

According to the company, the wind farm in Inner Mongolia produces enough electricity to require approximately 3 million tons of coal, preventing approximately 8 million tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.

Chinese energy experts expect the total capacity of new energy production facilities based on renewable resources in the country to reach 45 GW by the end of this year, following the commissioning of planned wind power plants.

According to CGNPC management, there are currently more than 570 new power generation facilities across the country, including those using wind, solar, solar thermal and hydrogen energy.

The world’s first offshore wind power plant (WEP), built on the shelf of the East China Sea near the coast of the eastern province of Fujian, has been put into operation in China, as reported by Ukrinform. 16 megawatts electricity record.
