The Ulan Buh Desert, China’s eighth-largest desert located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, receives an average annual precipitation of just 140 millimeters while experiencing evaporation rates of up to 2,400 millimeters. Today, the region has achieved remarkable results in comprehensive desert control, pioneering a new model combining forestry and sand-related industries. Within the Ulan Buh Desert spanning Dengkou County and Urad Front Banner, a 1GW project utilizing Trina Solar’s 670W Vertex series modules—paired with energy storage facilities—is seamlessly integrating solar power generation with ecological restoration.
Situated in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, the project leverages abandoned land from desert areas in Dengkou County and waste dumps in Urad Front Banner’s mining zones. By deeply integrating solar power generation with ecological restoration in both desert and mining regions, it optimizes land use efficiency, constructs a regional green ecological barrier, and plays a critical role in promoting sustainable ecological development and safeguarding national energy security.
The project exclusively employs Trina Solar’s 670W Vertex series modules, renowned for their high power output, efficiency, energy generation, and reliability. These advantages effectively reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) while maximizing returns for clients. The project, now operational and performing well, generates 2.354 billion kWh of electricity annually, mitigating 1.9792 million tons of CO₂ emissions and conserving 773,600 tons of standard coal. This achievement underscores a dual victory in ecological conservation and green energy development.
