Zhengbei Network News (Zheng Huiying, reporter of The North News Of the North) learned from the Inner Mongolia Bureau of Statistics that in the first three quarters of this year, the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size in the region was 439.89 billion kWh, an increase of 4.9% year-on-year. Among them, the power generation in the eastern region increased by 11.3% year-on-year, an increase of 0.7 percentage points over January to August; in September, the power generation increased by 16.9% year-on-year, an increase of 8.2 percentage points over August, and the growth rate showed a significant acceleration momentum, effectively supporting the electricity demand in the northeast region.
It is understood that in 1978, Inner Mongolia's power generation was 3.8 billion kWh, accounting for only 1.1% of the country. Relying on the advantages of Inner Mongolia's rich coal and wind and photovoltaic resources, our region has vigorously developed the power grid infrastructure and begun to catch up all the way, starting in 2003, Inner Mongolia has entered the top 12 of the national power generation. Since then, Inner Mongolia has continued to surpass, and its power generation has lagged behind and steadily improved, until it reaches 581.1 billion kWh in 2020, ranking first in the country, accounting for 7.2% of the country. In the 43 years of reform and opening up, Inner Mongolia's power generation has increased by an average annual rate of 12.7%, which is 4.8 percentage points higher than the national growth rate.
From 1987 the whole region's power generation capacity of 12.7 billion kWh to 2020 581.1 billion kWh, inner Mongolia's league cities of electricity rapid development, power generation scale continues to expand, of which Ordos City relies on rich coal resources and highly developed industrial system, vigorously develop thermal power generation, power generation ranks first in the region all year round; Mengdong region's Xing'an League, Tongliao City, Chifeng City and Mengzhong Xilingol League, Ulanchabu City and Mengxi Bayannaoer City, Alxa League give full play to the advantages of local scenery resources, The amount of new energy power generation has steadily increased。
