On the morning of September 29,the comprehensive construction of the new energy base in the central-northern part of the Kubuqi Desert,Inner Mongolia,kicked off.With a total investment of 98.8 billion yuan,the project is planned to include the construction of 8 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power,4 million kilowatts of wind power,supporting coal-fired power(for backup)of 4 million kilowatts,and 5 million kilowatt-hours of new energy storage.

Meanwhile,a UHV(Ultra-High Voltage)power transmission channel connecting"Ordos,Inner Mongolia to Cangzhou,Hebei"is being built as supporting infrastructure for the base.The designed length of the transmission line is 699 kilometers,with a voltage level of±800 kilovolts.The base is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2027.Once operational,it will transmit approximately 36 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the North China Power Grid centered on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region every year,among which new energy power will account for 60%.This will reduce standard coal consumption by about 6.4 million tons and cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 16 million tons annually.
