The Hanggin Banner Desert Control 1100 MW Wind-Solar Integrated Project, a key initiative in Inner Mongolia and a model for ecological-energy integration under China's "Three-North" Shelterbelt Program, has recently begun grid-connected power generation.  

Located in the Shuofang New Energy Base of Hanggin Banner, Ordos City, the project has a total installed capacity of 1,100 megawatts, including 800 MW of photovoltaic power and 300 MW of wind power. It adopts a multi-purpose development model of "power generation above, planting below, and desert restoration," providing a scalable practice for ecological rehabilitation and green energy development in desert areas.  

Once fully operational, the project is expected to deliver about 2.4 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to the grid annually. This will save approximately 730,000 tonnes of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 2 million tonnes each year. The project will further optimize the regional energy mix, enhance green power transmission capacity, and contribute new momentum to building Inner Mongolia into a national important energy base and a northern ecological security barrier.
