The renewable energy substitution project uses the peak load regulation capacity of Junzheng Energy's two 330 megawatts self-supply coal-fired power units. It employs a "full self-generation and self-consumption" operational model and innovatively integrates photovoltaic (PV) and thermal power generation, thereby maximizing the utilization of abundant solar energy resources and load absorption capabilities within the Otog Banner High-tech Industrial Development Zone.
This project is recognized as one of the first renewable energy substitution demonstration projects for self-supply power plants in Inner Mongolia.
The project has a PV power capacity of 450 MW and spans approximately 13,800 mu (920 hectares), with a total investment of 1.4 billion yuan ($196.56 million). The total installed capacity on the direct current side is 602 MWp, while the maximum output on the alternating current side reaches 450 MW.
It employs nearly one million high-efficiency monocrystalline double-sided double-glass modules and comprises a total of 141 photovoltaic generation units. Upon completion, the project is expected to reduce standard coal consumption by 320,000 metric tons, carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 880,000 tons, and nitrogen oxide emissions by about 172 tons.
