Inner Mongolia's total installed capacity of new energy reached 143.09 gigawatts (GW) by the end of May 2025, accounting for 52% of the region’s total power capacity, according to the regional Energy Bureau. The milestone further cements Inner Mongolia’s lead in China’s new energy development.
From January to May, the region generated 124.7 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity from wind, solar, and other renewable sources—up 39.5% year-on-year and making up 36% of all electricity produced in the region. Of that, 43 billion kWh was transmitted to other provinces, a 62% increase over the same period last year, while local consumption of new energy reached 81.7 billion kWh, up 30.3%.
A spokesperson for the Energy Bureau said Inner Mongolia has accelerated the rollout of new energy projects by enhancing grid planning, streamlining project approvals, and coordinating the construction and operation of both power generation and grid infrastructure. These efforts have contributed to the rapid scale-up of renewable energy in the region.
Looking ahead, the region plans to advance several major initiatives, including large-scale wind and solar projects in desert and arid areas, integrated renewables and sand control efforts, and photovoltaic support programs. Inner Mongolia aims to add 40 GW of new capacity this year, pushing the total beyond 170 GW, with new energy transmission expected to exceed 100 billion kWh.
