Electricity transmitted from Inner Mongolia via ultra-high voltage (UHV) lines has crossed the 700 billion kilowatt-hour mark, underscoring the region’s growing role in powering China’s clean energy future. Data from State Grid Inner Mongolia Eastern Electric Power Co. shows that, as of April 21, a total of 700.686 billion kWh had been delivered to other parts of the country through eight UHV transmission corridors—five alternating current (AC) and three direct current (DC) lines, collectively known as the “Five AC, Three DC” network.

That’s equivalent to the annual electricity use of 270 million households. The transfers have also helped cut coal consumption by more than 230 million tonnes, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 690 million tonnes—delivering both environmental and social benefits on a massive scale.

Inner Mongolia has long been a strategic energy base for China. In recent years, the region has ramped up construction of long-distance transmission infrastructure, building out a north–south corridor that now delivers electricity to provinces including Shandong, Tianjin, Shanxi and Jiangsu. The projects are supported by an expanding regional grid designed to consolidate and export locally generated power more efficiently. The surge in outbound electricity underscores how large-scale renewables—and the infrastructure that supports them—are reshaping China’s power landscape.
