Beijing: China’s first and largest onshore wind farm to deploy 10-megawatt (MW) turbines at scale has officially begun commercial operations in Inner Mongolia.
The project, located in Ganqimaodu and owned by Inner Mongolia Energy Group Co., consists of 150 turbines of 10 MW each, forming the country’s largest onshore “giant matrix” of wind power.
Each turbine is equipped with all-carbon-fiber blades with a root diameter of 3.6 meters, increasing load-bearing capacity by over 26 percent. The advanced design ensures the blade tips maintain 12 percent more clearance from the tower, significantly improving operational safety. In addition, the turbines employ wider 1.7-meter main bearings, boosting load capacity by more than 20 percent.
Once at full capacity, the facility will generate around 5.44 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually—equivalent to saving 1.64 million tons of standard coal and cutting about 4.98 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
China remains the world’s largest investor in clean energy, accounting for $625 billion in spending in 2024, or 31 percent of the global total of $2.033 trillion, according to the China Energy Transition Review 2025, published by UK-based consultancy Ember. The report noted that China’s rapid electrification and expansion of solar and wind power are set to accelerate the decline of fossil fuel use in the coming years.
