On May 23, Inner Mongolia's first off-grid wind power project achieved full-capacity power generation in Qipanjing town, Otog Banner, Ordos city.

The project boasts an installed capacity of 300,000 kilowatts. It features 48 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6.25 megawatts, and an advanced energy storage system. This setup enables a smart "integrated wind-storage" energy model.

It is expected to generate 870 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, saving approximately 260,000 metric tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by around 710,000 tons.

Adopting a "green power + industry" development model, the electricity generated is transmitted via a 220-kilovolt overhead line to a substation within the Otog Economic Development Zone, directly supplying renewable energy to enterprises in the industrial park.

With the integration of "source-grid-load-storage" coordination technology, the project achieves 100 percent green power utilization. It provides a replicable model for high-proportion renewable energy integration and supports the large-scale development of a new-type power system.
