The proportion of new energy has exceeded 20% of total power generation in northern China's Inner Mongolia for the first time, local official statistics showed.
In the first two months, Inner Mongolia's new energy generation totaled 22.68 TWh, an increase of 28.2% year on year, accounting for 20.6% of the total generation, reaching the highest level in history.
Wind generation was 20.03 TWh during this period, up 32.8% year on year, the main driver behind the growth of new energy generation in the region.
As of the end of February, the region's installed capacity of new energy has reached 63.8 GW, an increase of 9.62 GW from a year earlier and accounting for 36.6% of the region's total installed capacity, an increase of 1.5 percentage points year on year.
Wind, solar, garbage incineration, and biomass power generation installed capacity increased by 7.62 GW, 1.95 GW, 18 MW and 35 MW respectively.
Inner Mongolia is undergoing significant development in new energy sources, with the central government having put in place a three-phase plan to create a "giant wind and solar base" in the region with a total capacity of 450 GW. Currently, the first batch of projects, totaling 95 GW, is underway.
