The base project is located in Etuokeqian Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a key project of the second batch of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases in the country, covering an area of approximately 105,000 acres and supporting the construction of six 220 kV substations. It is planned and constructed by China Energy Inner Mongolia Company. After completion, it will annually transmit 5.7 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity to Shandong Province, providing strong power support for the economic and social development of the eastern region.

As an important national energy and strategic resource base, Inner Mongolia has abundant renewable energy resources, ranking first in the technical development potential of wind energy resources nationwide, and is one of the regions with the richest solar energy resources in China. In October 2023, the "Opinions of the State Council on Promoting High-Quality Development in Inner Mongolia and Striving to Write a New Chapter of Chinese-Style Modernization" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") was issued, deploying seven major tasks, one of which was to "construct a new energy system and enhance the guarantee capacity of national important energy and strategic resource bases," with "promoting the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases" placed in a prominent position. At present, Inner Mongolia has been approved for four “Desert, Gobi and Barren Land” large-scale wind and photovoltaic base projects in the northern and southern parts of Kubuqi, Ulanbuh, and Tengger, with a total scale of 48 million kilowatts, accounting for 43% of the total approved scale nationwide. After the full implementation of the projects, Inner Mongolia's power transmission capacity will exceed 100 million kilowatts, firmly ranking first in the country.
