In 2025, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region achieved a major milestone as its installed wind power capacity surpassed 100 million kilowatts, the first in the country to do so.

Throughout the year, the region added 35 million kW of new energy capacity, bringing its total installed capacity of renewables to more than 170 million kW and generating 270 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Inner Mongolia has ranked first nationwide in power generation for more than a decade, with one out of every three kilowatt-hours produced in the region now coming from renewable energy.

Backed by its expanding green power capacity, Inner Mongolia is exploring deeper integration of renewable energy with emerging industries such as computing power, crystalline silicon, and advanced alloy materials, significantly increasing the "green content" of its industrial development.

In Tongliao, green electricity substitution has helped create both a "green power hub" and a "low electricity cost basin", fostering industrial clusters in green aluminum, wind power equipment manufacturing, and aluminum–nickel–silicon new materials.

In Horinger New Area, the core hub of Hohhot's computing power industry, dozens of large data centers have been established, with green electricity accounting for as much as 86 percent of their power use, giving the area the top green computing index nationwide.

In Ulaanqab, the rapid transition from traditional energy to renewables in existing ferroalloy capacity has transformed the sector from high-carbon to green production, making the city a national benchmark for green ferroalloy manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Baotou continues to strengthen its status as the "world's green silicon capital", steadily advancing plans to build a trillion-yuan photovoltaic industrial cluster and the world's largest crystalline silicon production base.

The booming new energy sector has become a powerful engine for economic transformation and upgrading across the region. Inner Mongolia's abundant green electricity not only supports its own high-quality development but also plays a vital role in meeting the country's overall energy needs.

As one of China's main energy hubs, Inner Mongolia generates about one-sixth of the country's total energy output and accounts for one-third of China's cross-regional energy transmission. In 2025, the region delivered 90 billion kWh of green electricity to other regions, a year-on-year increase of more than 40 percent, bringing clean power across mountains and rivers to light homes and power industries nationwide.
