The world's largest "Shagohuang" wind power photovoltaic base project started construction in the Kubuqi Desert

The reporter learned from the Three Gorges Group on the 28th that the new energy base project in the north-central part of the Kubuqi Desert Ordos built by the Three Gorges Group and the Inner Mongolia Energy Group started construction
in the Dalat Banner of Ordos City, Inner Mongolia.
The project is the world's largest wind power photovoltaic base project developed and constructed in desert, Gobi and desert areas, and it is also the first 10 million kilowatt-level new energy base project
in China.

The planned total investment of the Kubuqi base project exceeds 80 billion yuan, with a total installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts, including 8 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power and 4 million kilowatts of wind power, and 4 million kilowatts
of advanced and efficient coal power installed capacity for supporting reconstruction and expansion.
The pilot project announced this time is a 1 million kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project, and the corresponding energy storage facilities
are configured.
After the project is fully completed, it can send about 40 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region every year, of which clean energy accounts for more than 50%, which is equivalent to saving about 6 million tons of standard coal and reducing about 16 million tons
of carbon dioxide.

Lei Mingshan, chairman of the board of directors and secretary of the party group of the Three Gorges Group, said that the Kubuqi base project has a large scale, high technical difficulty and great innovation significance, providing important demonstration application scenarios
for new technologies, new mechanisms, new models and new formats in the new power system.
During the construction of the Kubuqi base project, it will continue to explore and carry out ecosystem protection and restoration, and build a multi-integrated circular development model
such as new energy power generation, eco-tourism, and desert management.

Located in the northern part of the Ordos Plateau in Inner Mongolia, the Kubuqi Desert is the seventh largest desert
in China.
In 2014, the Kubuchi Desert was designated by UN Environment as a "Global Desert Eco-Economic Demonstration Area"
.
Kubuqi desert management has also become a green business card
for China.

On the same day, China Three Gorges Group announced the centralized start of 27 new energy and Yangtze River protection projects, and the Kubuqi base project is one of
them.
The total planned investment of these projects reached 109.
055 billion yuan, with a total installed capacity of 19.
6368 million kilowatts, all of which are clean energy and ecological environmental protection projects
.
