On the morning of September 29, 2025, with the issuance of the construction order, the new energy base project located in the central northern part of the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia officially entered the comprehensive construction phase. This major project with a total investment of 98.8 billion yuan is not only a landmark project of China's "Shage Desert" region's new energy development strategy, but also a key step in building a new power system and promoting clean and low-carbon energy transformation.

According to the plan, the project will create an unprecedented comprehensive energy system, including 8 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power generation, 4 million kilowatts of wind power generation, and supporting construction of 4 million kilowatts of coal-fired power and 5 million kilowatt hours of new energy storage facilities. This integrated planning of "wind solar thermal storage" aims to effectively solve the intermittent and fluctuating problems of new energy generation, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

Of particular importance is the synchronous planning and construction of a ± 800 kV high-voltage direct current transmission channel from Ordos, Inner Mongolia to Cangzhou, Hebei to ensure efficient transmission of green electricity. This 699 kilometer long "electric highway" will become the main artery connecting energy bases and load centers, directly injecting clean electricity into the North China power grid centered around the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.

The base is planned to be fully completed and put into operation by the end of 2027. At that time, it will deliver approximately 36 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to the North China Power Grid annually, with new energy accounting for as much as 60% of the total electricity. The massive injection of green energy is expected to save about 6.4 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 16 million tons annually, which is equivalent to creating a vast forest and providing solid support for the blue sky defense battle and achieving the "dual carbon" goals in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.

The full launch of this project marks the acceleration of China's planning and construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases in vast deserts, Gobi, and desert areas. By using ultra-high voltage transmission technology to transform the "wind and solar" resources in the west into development momentum in the east, not only has the national energy structure been optimized, but also green energy has been injected into the coordinated development of regional economy. The construction model of Kubuqi Base provides valuable experience that can be replicated for the development, grid connection, and consumption of large-scale new energy bases in the future.
