Economic Watch: North China energy base accelerates green shift from coal to clean power

BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Stepping into the wind turbine assembly plant at Ming Yang Smart Energy Group's industrial park in Baotou, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, visitors are greeted by orderly production lines and busy workers. Robotic arms swing methodically, while digital screens display real-time production data.

The park has established a complete industrial chain covering research and design, manufacturing and quality testing, according to He Changguo, manager of the firm's northern regional manufacturing center. Since 2008, wind turbines produced in the park have been deployed in more than 100 projects across China.
