Wedoany.com Report-Sept. 15, China’s first and largest onshore wind farm deploying 10-megawatt turbines at scale has officially entered commercial operation in Ganqimaodu township, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Sunday, according to CCTV News. The project, developed by Inner Mongolia Energy Group Co, consists of 150 turbines of 10 megawatts each, forming the country’s largest onshore wind turbine matrix.

China's first and largest onshore wind farm to deploy 10 megaWatt turbines at scale officially entered commercial operation in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on September 14, 2025

The turbines feature advanced all-carbon-fiber blades with a root diameter of 3.6 meters, which increases root load-bearing capacity by over 26 percent. The improved design allows the blade tip to remain 12 percent farther from the tower during operation, enhancing safety. In addition, the turbines use a 1.7-meter main bearing that is both wider and thicker than previous models, boosting load capacity by more than 20 percent and improving overall stability.

At full operation, the wind farm is expected to generate about 5.44 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually. This output is projected to replace roughly 1.64 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4.98 million tons, according to project managers cited by CCTV.

The project highlights China’s ongoing efforts in renewable energy development. According to the China Energy Transition Review 2025 by UK-based consultancy Ember, released on September 9, China invested $625 billion in clean energy in 2024. This represents 31 percent of the global total of $2.033 trillion, confirming China’s position as the largest investor in this sector. The report also noted that China’s rapid electrification and expansion of solar and wind power are expected to accelerate the reduction of fossil fuel consumption.

Inner Mongolia plays a critical role in this transition. The region holds some of the country’s most abundant wind resources, accounting for nearly half of China’s total land-based wind power potential, according to information from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has actively followed the national green development strategy, significantly increasing the scale of new-energy installations, particularly in wind and solar.

This momentum has led to record achievements. In November 2024, the region’s monthly new-energy generation exceeded 10 billion kilowatt-hours for the first time, marking an important milestone in China’s clean energy growth.

The successful operation of the Inner Mongolia wind farm demonstrates China’s progress in large-scale renewable energy deployment and reflects the country’s determination to expand clean power generation capacity. With advanced technology, significant investment, and regional resource advantages, China continues to strengthen its role as a leader in global renewable energy development.
