Renewable energy closes gap on use of fossil fuel

Renewable energy is gradually reducing the heavy dependence on traditional power supply in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region as 30 percent of the total power grid is now being generated from solar and wind energy.

The cut in coal-fired energy is a significant progress for the region, experts say.

Elion Resources Group and Beijing Energy Company are pouring billions into the sector, making green power hit new heights in the northern Chinese region.
