Inner Mongolia Urad Houqi Wuliji Wind — China

Inner Mongolia Urad Houqi Wuliji Wind is a 49 MW wind power plant in Inner Mongolia, China. It is operated by Datang Hebei Power Generation Co Ltd [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 42k homes (estimated). It ranks #3772 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 10.7% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares

At 49 MW, Inner Mongolia Urad Houqi Wuliji Wind is around the median wind plant in China (49 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Local climate & thermal context

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a cold desert climate (Köppen BWk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Monthly mean temperature

Heating degree-days here run 109% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 95/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.

Site climate & environmental severity

This site sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with dust abrasion the leading environmental stress.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.

How it compares & nearby plants

The #506 largest wind power plant of 835 in China by capacity.
