Baotou Aluminum (Group) Co., Ltd., a first-class large enterprise in China with ten aluminium smelting enterprises, has reportedly installed the first wind turbine of self-owned power plant, which replaced the 1200 MW new energy project in Damaoqi with renewable energy.
This action is in line with Baotou Aluminum’s dual carbon goals, aimed at accelerating the company’s transformation to a clean energy power supply for smelting.
Baotou Aluminum’s coal-fired power plant with renewable energy project is located in Damao Qi, Baotou City, in Inner Mongolia, China. The project has a renewable energy generation capacity of 1,200 MW, encompassing 1000 MW wind power, 200 MW photovoltaic, two 220kV booster stations, delivery lines and Baotou demonstration project 900,000 kW lines.
The project is the largest among all new energy projects in Inner Mongolia. It can provide about 3.8 billion kWh of clean energy in a year to Baotou Aluminum upon completion, enhancing the enterprise’s clean energy supply capacity.
Baotou Aluminum’s wind power project spreads over 134 square kilometres with 140 7.15 MW wind turbines. After the completion of the new energy project, Baoutou Aluminum will access 2100MW of new energy, which will help the enterprise reduce more than 5.7 million tonnes of carbon emissions.
Inner Mongolia plays a crucial role in increasing primary aluminium production in China, with new projects coming online in the northern region of Inner Mongolia from Q2 2024. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China’s primary aluminium production in July 2024 reached a 20-year high at 3.68 million tonnes.
