Is Inner Mongolia a good place for solar energy?

The total prospective capacity from coal power plants takes up almost 7% of the national total, ranking as the third largest province with coal projects in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Inner Mongolia boasts tremendous potential for solar and wind energy. Its deserts and sandy lands make ideal locations for solar and onshore wind installations.

What is Inner Mongolia's power supply?

Inner Mongolia’s power supply includes a high proportion of coal and a small proportion of renewable energy. Inner Mongolia's power system must gradually withdraw from coal-fired power and improve its renewable energy power generation and storage technology.

When will energy storage be built in Inner Mongolia?

Recently, the Government of Inner Mongolia issued a “Special Action Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 2024-2025” which outlines plans to construct 10 GW of energy storage will begin construction in 2024, with an additional 11 GW in the pipeline to begin construction throughout 2025.
