Background

China Three Gorges Corporation is sponsor of the 4×1000MW thermal power project in Ordos in the Kubuqi Desert. The project is expected to see the first unit operational by August 2027, with subsequent units commissioned sequentially through 2028.[2]

The project is part of a larger energy complex that will include 8 GW of solar PV power installations, 4 GW of wind power, 200 MW of solar thermal, and 5 GWh of energy storage capacity, in addition to 4 GW of coal power. Construction of the project is set to begin in September 2024. It will notably dispatch electricity to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster in northern China via an 800 kV ultra-high voltage power transmission line. China Three Gorges Renewables' onshore unit holds 56% of the project, while the Inner Mongolia Energy Group holds the remaining 44%.[3]

In 2024 the project received the necessary approvals for construction from the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau[4], and construction reportedly started in 2025.[5][6] Plans include the use of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).[7]
