Impact Beyond Sustainability
This project goes further than sustainability and also supports the following Sustainable Developement Goals:
Provides access to sustainable and modern energy.
Creates jobs and drives sustainable economic growth.
Builds resilient infrastructure and supports innovation.
Combats climate change and its effects.
A coal-heavy grid in need of change
China is the world’s largest carbon emitter, but also holds one of the greatest opportunities for global decarbonisation. Northern China’s power grid is still dominated by coal, with every megawatt-hour of electricity producing nearly one tonne of CO₂. The cost is visible: polluted air, public health challenges, and rising emissions that shape the global climate.
Yet Inner Mongolia’s vast grasslands hold an untapped resource—the steady, powerful winds of the steppe. Turning this natural potential into clean power is essential for both local communities and the planet.
Harnessing the wind for climate action
The Wujier Phase I Wind Power Project answers this challenge. Developed by Inner Mongolia Xinjin Wind Power Co., the project installed 33 modern Goldwind GW82/1500 turbines, each with a 1.5 MW capacity, for a total of 49.5 MW. Commissioned in 2009, the wind farm delivers renewable electricity directly to the North China Power Grid.
Each year it generates about 126,821 MWh of clean power, displacing fossil-fuel electricity and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by an estimated 120,508 tonnes of CO₂e. Instead of burning coal, thousands of homes and businesses receive energy from the wind.
What the project delivers
Carbon reductions at scale
By displacing coal-fired power, Wujier prevents more than 120,000 tonnes of CO₂e emissions every year, verified under Verra’s VCS standard. Over two decades of operation, this adds up to millions of tons of avoided emissions.
Clean electricity for thousands
The project’s output of ~126,821 MWh per year powers homes and businesses with zero-carbon energy. This supports China’s renewable-energy targets and reduces reliance on one of the most carbon-intensive grids in the world.
Infrastructure that lasts
Wind farms like Wujier are designed to run for 20–25 years. Commissioned in 2009, the project continues to provide a stable supply of renewable power, proving that investments in clean infrastructure generate long-term benefits.
Jobs and knowledge transfer
The project creates skilled employment in turbine manufacturing, installation, and ongoing operations. By training local technicians and engaging regional suppliers, it strengthens the clean-energy economy in Inner Mongolia.
Why this matters globally
The world cannot meet climate goals without China’s energy transition. Supporting high-integrity renewable projects inside China is more than offsetting it is accelerating systemic change at the very core of global emissions.
Every carbon credit represents real, measurable impact: clean megawatt-hours delivered, coal use avoided, and CO₂ kept out of the atmosphere.
It also demonstrates that climate finance can be channelled transparently into one of the world’s most challenging but essential transitions.
