Inner Mongolia tops wind energy capacity in China

The installed wind farm capacity of the grid-connected wind power in Inner Mongolia reached 10.9 GW by February 2011. It became the first region in China to possess 10 GW of grid-connected installed wind energy.

Inner Mongolia is also far ahead of other regions, provinces and cities in indicators such as the dissolved and absorbed proportion of the power grid.
