Baotou City is promoting the transformation of its traditional advantageous industries into future-oriented industries, accelerating the formation of a complete industrial chain encompassing "new energy development—direct green electricity supply—electrolytic aluminum production." On the large screen of the Baotou Aluminum Industry Smart Energy Control Center, wind turbine blades can be seen slowly rotating deep in the grasslands 200 kilometers away. Dispatcher Xu Junxia, pointing to the dynamically optimized dispatch curve, explained that the company has now shifted from production based on electricity demand to production based on electricity consumption, with green electricity now accounting for 33%. "Based on the trend of electricity prices in our spot market, we are maximizing the absorption of new energy sources and improving the overall electricity and energy consumption structure."
