Mongolia Interior inicia obras en nuevas plantas de energía flexible

El líder en energía verde de China, Mongolia Interior, ha comenzado las obras de dos nuevas plantas de energía flexible que usarán carbón como respaldo a fuentes renovables como viento y solar para abastecer los centros económicos de Shanghái y la provincia de Jiangsu.

La oficina de energía de Mongolia Interior anunció que la Administración Nacional de Energía ha aprobado planes para dos plantas de generación y transmisión en el desierto de Kubuqi. Esto marca un cambio estratégico importante en el uso del carbón, con el combustible fósil ahora sirviendo como respaldo para cubrir lagunas en la generación de energía eólica y solar, en lugar de como fuente principal. Las plantas suministrarán electricidad a los centros económicos del este, Shanghái y la provincia de Jiangsu. La planta de Shanghái tendrá una capacidad de 8 gigavatios de energía solar, 4,5 gigavatios de energía eólica, 2,6 GW de energía térmica de carbón de apoyo y 9 gigavatios-hora de almacenamiento de nueva energía. La planta de Jiangsu es de escala similar, aunque con capacidades de viento y almacenamiento de energía ligeramente menores, según las autoridades regionales. Esta iniciativa subraya el liderazgo de Mongolia Interior en energía verde, conocido por desarrollos como proyectos eólicos y solares en el desierto de Kubuqi. La aprobación de la Administración Nacional de Energía destaca los esfuerzos de China por equilibrar el carbón con renovables para un suministro de energía estable y fiable.

Climate Minister Kim Sung-whan announced on January 26 that South Korea will construct two new nuclear reactors by 2038 at the latest, reflecting public support amid growing demand for clean energy. This is part of the 12th basic plan for electricity supply and demand covering 2026-2040, continuing the previous administration's initiative to address climate change through carbon emission reductions.

Renewable power capacity in Shanxi, China's traditional coal heartland, has officially surpassed coal-fired generation, marking a historic turning point for one of the nation's most carbon-intensive economies. The central province's installed new energy capacity surged to 90.48 million kilowatts in 2025, claiming 55.1 per cent of total power-generation capacity, Xinhua reported on Monday.

China General Nuclear Power Group announced on Monday the start of construction for a 50 MW trough-based concentrated solar power plant at 4,550 meters altitude in Damxung County, Xizang Autonomous Region. The facility, located near Lhasa, integrates a 400 MW photovoltaic system and is set for full operation by 2027. Xinhua reported preparatory digging began that day amid efforts to diversify power sources.

Elon Musk's SpaceX pursuit of space-based data centres has drawn attention to China's solar industry, sparking market rallies—and calls for caution. The discussions, which have not yet resulted in confirmed orders, triggered a rally in shares of several solar-related companies earlier this week, before sentiment cooled on Thursday.

India has delayed the planned maintenance of 10 gigawatts of coal-based power plants by three months due to gas supply constraints from the West Asia conflict. Piyush Singh, additional secretary at the Ministry of Power, said 8 GW of gas-based capacity is affected by higher fuel costs from the Iran war. The government plans to add 22 GW of new capacity in the next three months.

Brazil, a reference in clean energy, will have to increase generation from fossil fuel thermal plants due to the declining share of hydroelectric plants in its electricity matrix. This stems from the growth of intermittent sources like solar and wind, which require constant backups. Studies project higher CO2 emissions by 2040, though alternatives like batteries are under discussion.
