The traditional energy sector continued to strengthen its role in ensuring energy security. Coal production remained stable, with large-scale industrial enterprises producing 940 million tons of raw coal. Oil and gas output also expanded, with crude oil production reaching 2.5 million tons (up 4.2% YoY) and natural gas output hitting 23.94 billion cubic meters, representing 12.3% of the national total. Coal-to-gas production rose 26% YoY to 3.4 billion cubic meters.
Meanwhile, coal-fired power projects such as the third phase of Mengneng Jinshan (2×1,000 MW) and the second phase of Huineng Changtan (2×660 MW) accelerated construction. By the end of September, the region's total installed power capacity reached 282.26 GW.
The renewable energy sector also saw robust growth. Inner Mongolia prioritized accelerating new energy projects, focusing on construction progress and advancing large-scale wind and solar bases alongside desertification control initiatives. From January to September, the region added 12.84 GW of new energy capacity.
By the end of September, Inner Mongolia's total installed renewable energy capacity reached 147.59 GW, up 36.9% YoY, accounting for 52.3% of the total power capacity—a 6.4 percentage point increase year-on-year.
