PowerChina connects 1.1 GW Inner Mongolia wind-solar desert project

SolarNews Brief

PowerChina reached full-capacity grid connection for the 1.1 GW Hangjin Banner wind-solar project in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The project pairs 800 MW of solar PV with 300 MW of wind and is expected to generate about 2.4 billion kWh a year.

The Hangjin Banner project feeds the West Inner Mongolia grid and is built under China's Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program. Its design combines PV arrays with straw checkerboard barriers and desert vegetation so electricity generation and sand stabilization are delivered together. PowerChina also deployed intelligent PV installation robots capable of installing more than 800 modules a day, pointing to faster construction methods for large desert renewable pipelines.
