Recently, the first phase of the long-distance heating project from Datang Tuoketuo Power Generation Company to Hohhot has been fully commissioned, marking a significant milestone in the green and low-carbon transformation of the power sector. The successful integration of the first and second heating units has not only achieved a green and low-carbon heating capacity of approximately 53 million square meters but also addressed key issues such as the reliance on a single heat source and the low cogeneration ratio in Hohhot city. This development signifies a pivotal shift for the world's largest operational thermal power plant from a single coal-fired power source to a comprehensive energy supply system.
Datang Tuoketuo Power Generation's thermal power project holds the title of the world's largest operational thermal power plant. Leveraging the abundant wind and solar resources in Inner Mongolia, along with the surplus capacity of coal power transmission channels, the Datang Mengxi Tuoketuo 2 million kilowatt new energy transmission project has been included in the national list of the first batch of large-scale wind and photovoltaic base construction projects. This makes it the country's first multi-energy complementary project that utilizes existing thermal power channels to bundle and transmit new energy.
"The Mengxi Tuoketuo 2 million kilowatt wind and photovoltaic transmission project, located in Helinge’er County and Qingshui River County, benefits from a climate characterized by frequent winds, aridity, and ample sunlight. It is estimated that the average annual utilization hours for the four wind farms exceed 2100 hours, while the photovoltaic facilities are expected to have an average annual utilization of over 1500 hours. Upon completion, the project is set to significantly increase the proportion of 'green electricity' in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang power grid," stated a spokesperson for Tuoketuo Power Generation Company.
With the full capacity grid connection of the Datang Mengxi Tuoketuo 2 million kilowatt new energy transmission project by the end of September and the commencement of the first phase of the long-distance heating project, the thermal power plant has made a strategic transition from single coal power to an integrated energy supply system encompassing "wind, light, heat, and fire." The spokesperson revealed that the next phase will expedite the construction of the second phase of the 1.5 million kilowatt photovoltaic desert control and 450,000 kilowatt energy storage projects in Darhat Banner, aiming for full capacity grid connection by the end of 2025.
Building on these achievements, Datang Tuoketuo Power Generation has set its sights on a visionary goal: to construct a ten-million-kilowatt-level "wind, light, fire, and thermal storage" integrated energy base, with the ambition to transform the world's largest operational thermal power plant into the world's largest multi-energy complementary integrated energy base.
