On August 31, 2026, the autumn wind blew through the Gobi Desert in Saihan Taolai Sumu, Ejina Banner, and several bulldozers roared and started in the morning light. The Inner Mongolia Energy Ejina 250000 kW wind power project has officially started construction - this border area, which used to rely on a single 220 kV line to connect to the grid, is nailing the blueprint of "catching the wind" into the sandy soil.

Insert Windmill Forest into the Gobi Desert

The total investment of the project is about 880 million yuan, the wind farm covers an area of about 68 square kilometers, and the designed annual power generation is about 623 million kilowatt hours. After completion and operation, it is expected to save about 187300 tons of standard coal per year and reduce emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide by more than 2.7 million tons.

It is not an isolated project. On the same day, five wind power projects of Inner Mongolia Energy Group started construction, with a total installed capacity of 2.25 million kilowatts. The Ejina sub project is the western end of the group's new energy sector's base based and large-scale development. Ejina has already implemented the first wide area off grid pure new energy power system in China, which uses grid type energy storage to support the continuous supply of off grid wind and solar power stations. The entry of new wind power is equivalent to equipping this "pure green power microgrid" with a high-power engine.

Green electricity stabilizes borders and enriches the people

It is expected to be completed and connected to the grid in September 2027, and annually deliver clean green electricity to the Mengxi power grid, effectively enhancing the stability of regional power supply. For Ejina, the significance is not just about "brighter lights": the implementation of green electricity will drive tax growth, create operation and construction jobs, and the wind farm area will overlap with the Populus euphratica cultural and tourism line, adding a new low-carbon highlight to border tourism.

Looking at it from a higher perspective, Alxa League is striving to become a billion kilowatt level clean energy base. During the 15th Five Year Plan period, it plans to establish three types of bases, including self use, regional cooperation, and cross regional transmission, with a capacity of approximately 120 million kilowatts. Although the 250000 kilowatts of Ejina is just one piece of the puzzle, it is a key support for strengthening border peak shaving and improving energy storage facilities, making the "west wing" of the large base truly capable of accommodating electricity.

The waiter ran out of the ground at lightning speed

The rapid progress of the project from approval to commencement is driven by the investment logic of Ejina Banner this year: benchmarking the deployment of the autonomous region's "1571" and replacing the endowment of wind and solar resources with a project list. The flagship service of Qili is the "shop assistant" style, which focuses on policy implementation, element guarantee, and commitment fulfillment, promoting the resonance between traditional energy carbon reduction and new energy greening.keywords:Domestic new energy latest news

From the first shoveling of soil in Saihan Taolai Sumu to the turning of leaves in 2027, this line connects not a single wind turbine, but the real path of border banner counties exchanging green electricity for development rights - turning the speed in the sandstorm into the degree on the electricity meter, and then into the background of local finance and border stability.Editor/Yang Meiling
