CHINA'S largest onshore wind farm, deploying 10‑MW turbines at scale, began commercial operation in Ganqimaodu Township, Inner Mongolia on Sunday, CCTV News reported.

Owned by Inner Mongolia Energy Group, the project comprises 150 10‑MW turbines (1.5 GW installed capacity), forming the country’s largest matrix of giant onshore machines. The turbines use all‑carbon‑fiber blades with a 3.6‑meter root diameter and a wider 1.7‑meter main bearing; these design changes boost root load capacity by roughly 26% and overall load capacity by more than 20%, while keeping blade tips 12% farther from the tower for improved safety.

At full operation the plant is expected to produce about 5.44 billion kWh (5.44 TWh) of electricity a year, displacing roughly 1.64 million tons of standard coal and cutting CO2 emissions by about 4.98 million tons annually, according to a project manager cited by CCTV.

The launch underscores China’s push into clean energy: The country invested US$625 billion in clean energy in 2024 — 31% of the global total of US$2.033 trillion, per Ember’s China Energy Transition Review 2025. Inner Mongolia, which holds about half of China’s onshore wind resources, set a regional milestone in November 2024 when monthly new‑energy generation topped 10 billion kWh for the first time.
