The installed capacity of wind power in Inner Mongolia is equivalent to that of Three Gorges hydropower

Inner Mongolia is the region with the richest onshore wind energy resources in China, so the potential of wind power generation is immeasurable
.
According to the calculation data of the China Wind Energy Association and other departments, the amount of wind energy that can be developed in Inner Mongolia exceeds 150 million kilowatts, accounting for more than
50% of the total onshore wind energy development in the country.

With a batch of wind power projects put into operation at the end of the year, the installed capacity of wind power in Inner Mongolia reached 22.
5616 million kilowatts, equivalent to 100.
27% of the Three Gorges hydropower, which is the region with the most wind power generation in
China.
It is estimated that every 10 billion kilowatts of wind power generation is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 9.
7 million tons and sulfur dioxide by 50,000 tons by coal-fired units, saving 3 million tons of standard coal and 4.
5 million tons
of water.

Inner Mongolia developed wind power from scratch on a large scale in 1989, and surpassed the Three Gorges
in ten years on the basis of an installed capacity of only 170,000 kilowatts in 2005.
The proportion of renewable energy installed capacity increased to 29%.

Green wind power has transitioned from supplementary energy to alternative energy, becoming the second main power source
in Inner Mongolia.
