According to information obtained, on December 31, 2025, Xilingol League in Inner Mongolia released the "Announcement on Carrying out the Competitive Allocation of Grid Integration Wind Power Projects for 2025." The announcement specifies that the total scale for this batch of grid integration competitive allocation wind power projects is 1.1 gigawatts (GW), with individual project scales required to be no less than 100 megawatts (MW). It mandates that among enterprises applying for this batch of projects, only one investment entity from the same corporate group can submit a bid, including the lead party in a consortium bid. If a subsidiary bids, it must be a wholly-owned or majority-controlled subsidiary of its parent group and must possess written bidding authorization from the group. Applicants are permitted to apply for projects independently or as a consortium; consortium applicants must submit a relevant consortium agreement clarifying aspects such as equity ratios.
It is understood that on November 9, the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau issued a "Notice on Carrying out the Competitive Allocation of Grid Integration Wind Power Projects for 2025," determining the construction scale for these projects across different leagues and cities for the year. The notice indicated that, based on the autonomous region's non-hydro renewable energy consumption weight target and considering factors like local new energy utilization rates and grid connection conditions, the construction scale for each league and city was formulated primarily according to the growth rate of regional electricity load. A total planned scale of 15 GW for grid integration wind power projects was arranged across the region, with 11 GW in Western Inner Mongolia and 4 GW in Eastern Inner Mongolia. To date, 11 locations in Inner Mongolia have initiated the competitive allocation process for 2025 grid integration wind power projects, and apart from Xilingol League, the other 10 leagues/cities have completed project announcements.
Regarding project owners, State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) secured the largest share of wind power quotas in this batch, totaling 1.4 GW, including a 1.2 GW project from the SPIC group's "Ulanqab Wind Power Outbound Base" intended for conversion to local consumption. Following SPIC, a consortium comprising CRRC Zhuzhou Institute, Inner Mongolia Power (Group) Co., Ltd., and Chint Group Co., Ltd. obtained an 850 MW quota. SDHS New Energy secured an 800 MW quota. Statistics show that 64 wind power projects have completed the competitive allocation process, amounting to a total capacity of 13.9 GW.
Based on the requirements of relevant documents such as the "Measures for the Competitive Allocation of Grid Integration New Energy Power Generation Projects in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" and the "Notice of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Energy Bureau on Carrying out the Competitive Allocation of Grid Integration Wind Power Projects for 2025," and adhering to the working principle of "fairness, impartiality, scientific rigor, and objectivity," the competitive allocation work for the 2025 grid integration wind power projects in Xilingol League is now initiated. Matters related to the application process for these projects are announced as follows.
I. Allocation Scale and Scope: The total scale for this batch of grid integration competitive allocation wind power projects is 1.1 GW. The scale of individual projects shall not be less than 100 MW.
