China's largest onshore wind power base starts full-capacity production in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Sunday, said its operator China General Nuclear Power Corporation.

Having an annual electricity generation capacity of more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), the project is also one of the country's first batch of large-scale wind and solar power bases planned for desert regions, it said.

Electricity generated by the base is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by about 2.96 million metric tons, and preventing the discharge of around 8.02 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the company.

"With the operation of this wind power base, the installed capacity of CGN's new energy power generation facilities in operation in China is expected to reach 45 million kilowatts by the end of this year," said Zhang Zhiwu, chairman of the board of CGN New Energy Holdings Co Ltd.

CGN currently has more than 570 new energy power generation facilities across the nation, including those of wind power, solar power, solar thermal power, power extraction and storage, energy storage and hydrogen power, distributed across 30 Chinese provincial-level regions, he said.
