The latest data shows that in the first quarter of 2026, the local consumption of new energy in Inner Mongolia reached 49.7 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, accounting for 34.4% of the total electricity consumption in society, an increase of 14.9 percentage points compared to the early stage of the 14th Five Year Plan. This is the transcript submitted by Inner Mongolia as a national energy region. The data is noteworthy and raises questions: What is the industrial logic behind the continuous and effective increase in the proportion of green electricity consumption? The reporter followed in the footsteps of once green electricity to explore this answer. Entering the vast grasslands and desert hinterland, a typhoon rotates in the wind, rows of photovoltaic panels silently absorb light, and continuously emit green electricity. Relying on its unique scenic resources, Inner Mongolia's new energy installed capacity has exceeded 170 million kilowatts, and by 2025, the new energy power generation will exceed 270 billion kilowatt hours, ranking among the top in the country. A value "three-level leap" is unfolding: green electricity is integrated into high load industries, enabling traditional manufacturing to decarbonize and revive; Send it to the data center to "run" AI (artificial intelligence) and drive "smart bits" with "green watts"; Used for electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen, synthesizing green ammonia, converting it into green fuel, and participating in global zero carbon trade... First jump: High energy capacity on the green power chain, turning the "carbon burden" into competitiveness. Huolinguole, a small town in eastern Inner Mongolia. For decades, the local area has relied on coal resources to generate electricity and refine aluminum, developing into an important aluminum industry base in northern China. However, electrolytic aluminum has huge carbon emissions and faces severe challenges under the "dual carbon" target. The integration of green electricity has turned coal-fired aluminum into "green electricity aluminum", leading this small city to usher in a systematic industrial restructuring. Entering the Huolingole High tech Industrial Development Zone, towering fans stand adjacent to the electrolytic aluminum workshop. There is a demonstration project running here that directly connects an incremental distribution network with green electricity - through an intelligent control system, the fluctuation curve of wind power is accurately matched with the stable load of electrolytic aluminum, converting unstable "green electricity" into reliable industrial electricity. The incremental distribution network is currently connected to 450000 kilowatts of new energy, with a power supply of 1.054 billion kilowatt hours by 2025, and green electricity accounting for over 65%. ”Zhao Heming, Deputy General Manager of Huolinguole Electric Power Investment Co., Ltd., introduced in front of the large screen in the command center. On the screen, the power layout map is clearly visible: with energy storage as the support for peak shaving, new energy green electricity is continuously sent to 62 enterprises connected to the incremental distribution network through substations. Inner Mongolia North Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the beneficiaries. In the production workshop, the hot aluminum liquid flows through the twin roll casting and rolling mill to form, undergoes multiple processes such as cold rolling, and finally transforms into aluminum foil coils with a thickness of only 0.012 millimeters. The products are sold well both domestically and internationally. Relying on low-cost and high stability green power supply, the once high energy 'carbon burden' has now transformed into 'green aluminum' with global competitiveness, "said Wang Jue, the administrative director of Inner Mongolia North Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. Nowadays, the aluminum industry cluster in Holingol City continues to grow. The proportion of new energy installed capacity in our city has jumped from 6% in 2020 to 45% last year. We are firmly committed to promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and the green aluminum based new materials industry has become an advanced manufacturing cluster in the autonomous region, "said Ji Haiyang, Secretary of the Huolingole Municipal Committee. The second leap: computing power on the green power chain, allowing "green watts" to drive "smart bits". If the combination of green power and high energy is a stock change, then the synergy with artificial intelligence is an incremental rise. At China Mobile's Hohhot data center, millions of servers operate at high speed day and night. Some of the 'food' of these 'electricity eating maniacs' does not come from the power grid, but from wind farms tens of kilometers away - through the integrated mode of source grid load storage, green electricity is directly delivered to servers through dedicated lines. We have already used cheap and abundant green electricity. ”Li Chenggui, Deputy General Manager of China Mobile Hohhot Data Center, said. The central computing power scale reaches 20100 P, including 16700 P of intelligent computing power, achieving 88% green power supply. The relevant person in charge of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Energy Bureau stated that in the past, due to limited local consumption capacity and bottlenecks in external transmission channels, some green power had to abandon wind and solar power. Nowadays, through collaborative innovation models such as direct supply of green electricity to data centers, green electricity is efficiently consumed on-site, converting volatile clean energy into stable and high-value computing power output. This transformation has brought about a significant value leap: if green electricity is only used for power transmission, its direct benefits are only a few cents; And when it drives computing power and outputs tokens, the value created can reach tens of times. Third jump: Hydrogen energy on the green power chain can turn "natural scenery" into "liquid fuel". The value of green electricity can also move from intangible to tangible - becoming a green liquid fuel that is easy to store and transport, and participating in global zero carbon trade. Entering the central control room of the Far East Chifeng Green Hydrogen Ammonia Project, real-time satellite cloud images, wind and solar power plant monitoring tables, and factory equipment operation diagrams are presented on the digital screen, intuitively demonstrating the system synergy of "load following source, source following load". Here, wind turbines and photovoltaic power generation are used as power sources to produce hydrogen gas through electrolysis of water. At the same time, green electricity is used to separate nitrogen gas from the air. Finally, through a dynamic ammonia synthesis process, hydrogen and nitrogen are converted into green ammonia, which realizes the on-site conversion of fluctuating green electricity into stable, high-value, and easily transportable liquid fuel. We are no longer passive consumers of electricity, but active participants and stabilizers. ”Zhang Jian, Chief Engineer of Farview Hydrogen Energy, said. Relying on the Vision AI power system, power generation and hydrogen production achieve second level intelligent response; When the scenery fluctuates, the dynamic synthetic ammonia device can also automatically adjust the production load according to the hydrogen production, ensuring stable, safe and controllable production. In February of this year, the world's first ship of green synthetic ammonia produced by this project was sent to South Korea, successfully opening up a zero carbon trade channel. At one point, Green Power completed a magnificent transformation from "natural scenery" to "liquid fuel". Since the beginning of the year, the value of green electricity has been accelerating at a "three-level jump". At the end of March, Inner Mongolia Datang International Hohhot Aluminum and Electricity Co., Ltd. signed a contract for the direct connection project of electrolytic aluminum green electricity. At the same time, a package of policies such as the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Green Power Direct Connection Projects for Single Power Users in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Trial)" have been intensively introduced to systematically connect the "last mile" of on-site consumption of green power. Reshaping high energy capacity, driving AI computing power, and becoming green fuel - the "three-level leap" of green electricity in Inner Mongolia witnessed the determination and action of China's energy regions to shift from "selling resources" to "selling value" and embrace industrial leaps through green transformation.
