In the context of accelerating carbon neutrality goals, Inner Mongolia's new energy industry is booming. On May 17, 2023, the Information Office of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government held a special meeting of the Energy Bureau of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to introduce the energy economy of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January to April. operation and development.

According to reports, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is making every effort to promote the high-quality development of the energy economy. From January to April 2023, the energy economy of the autonomous region, especially the new energy economy, will generally show a steady and improving trend, and a steady and accelerated development trend.

The structure of the energy industry continued to be optimized. In the first four months, the new energy grid-connected installed capacity was 5.31 million kilowatts, which is five times the scale of the same period in 2022 (2022). New energy power generation was 56.7 billion kwh, accounting for 24.4%, a year-on-year increase of 2.8%.

The layout of energy economy is more concentrated and intensive. Three single 12 million-kilowatt large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects in the Shagehuang area of Mengxi are advancing. The third batch of large-scale bases with 22.8 million kilowatts of new energy has just been approved, and the construction scale of new energy monomers has moved from 100,000 kilowatts to one million. Kilowatt class. The construction of the whole industry chain base of Hubao-E wind and hydrogen storage has begun to take shape, the wind power has reached 5 million kilowatts, and the photovoltaic power has formed a supply capacity of 10 million kilowatts. The development pattern of the upstream and downstream of the industry is taking shape, and the economic layout of the new energy industry is more concentrated. Intensive.

Investment in major energy projects grew vigorously. In the first four months, the procedures for major energy projects to be completed and the rate of resumption of work exceeded 55%, and the completed investment reached 35.4 billion yuan, which is twice that of the same period in 2022. It is also the best year for procedures and resumption in recent years. The project completed an investment of 27.3 billion yuan, which is 2.6 times that of the same period in 2022. New energy equipment manufacturing projects such as wind and solar hydrogen storage have completed an investment of about 15.8 billion yuan, and hydrogen storage equipment manufacturing has achieved a breakthrough from scratch, with an investment of more than 2.1 billion yuan.

The role of coal as a bottom line is relatively stable. In the first four months, the dispatched coal output in the region was 410 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.25%, of which the proportion of Sinotrans coal was stable at about 60%, about 240 million tons.

The pace of power green transformation is accelerating. In the first four months, the cumulative power generation of the region was 232.1 billion kwh, ranking first in the country, a year-on-year increase of 13.8%, and a year-on-year growth rate of 8.5%. It is the first time in three years that power generation has achieved double-digit growth. New energy power generation accounted for 24.1%, a year-on-year increase of 2.6 percentage points, wind power generation reached 47.3 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 30.8%, and photovoltaic power generation reached 8.9 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 17.1%. The electricity transmitted outside the region was 90.8 billion kwh, ranking first in the country, with a year-on-year increase of 15%. The electricity consumption of the entire society in the region was 151.6 billion kwh, a year-on-year increase of 10%, and an increase of 7.3 percentage points compared with the same period in 2022. Among them, the electricity consumption of the secondary industry was 133.8 billion kwh, a year-on-year increase of 10%.

Steady progress was made in increasing oil and gas production. In the first four months of the autonomous region, the output of crude oil was 948,200 tons, a year-on-year increase of 17.82%. Natural gas production was 11.315 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 4.67%. Coal-to-oil production was 405,900 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.07%. Coal-to-gas output was 946 million cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 3.34%.

In the next step, the Energy Bureau of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will continue to focus on accelerating the construction of major energy projects, improving the completion rate and resumption rate of new projects, optimizing and improving energy industry policies, and promoting the stable production and increase of coal mines in production. High-quality economic development. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
