China decides to increase wind power generation considerably for clean energy in the next decade, which will bring a big cake for electric utilities and wind turbine manufactures. Read More…

In the mountains above the southwestern Chinese town of Dali, dozens of new wind turbines dot the landscape — a symbol of the country’s sky-high ambitions for clean, green energy. Read More…

China’s wind power industry is still promising in the long run, although the growth rate will inevitably slow down compared to that of previous years, according to a report from the international consulting firm Frost & Sullivan.

The installed capacity of China’s wind power increased from 402 megawatts (mW) in 2001 to 12,150 mW in 2008, with a growth rate higher than the world average since 2004. Read more…

China will drop a requirement that most of the components of wind power-related equipment be made within its borders, a beneficial move for foreign companies who argue that they have been locked out of China’s wind-power market. Read More…

Cheap labor and a burgeoning Chinese appetite for renewable energy have drawn many leading companies to make the same move. Last month, the top global manufacturer of windmills, the Danish company Vestas, opened its largest manufacturing complex in Tianjin. In addition to taking advantage of lower production costs, the company is positioning itself to be a dominant player in the world’s biggest potential wind energy market. Read More…

On October 17, at the China-EU new energy technology innovation cooperation and investment forum, Wang Weimin, chief engineer of Dongfang Steam Turbine Co., Ltd., said that the growth rate of China’s wind power had reached over 100 percent for three consecutive years.

In 2008, installed wind power capacity in China increased over 6 million kWh, two times more than 2007’s. China’s total wind power capacity totals over 12 million kWh, taking up by one tenth of the world’s total capacity, ranking the fourth in the world. Read More…

It was a sunny and windy afternoon in Beijing. Richard Hausmann, president and CEO of Siemens China, could hear the wind whistling outside his office located in the northern part of the city.

“China has rich wind energy resources, and Siemens is now taking an active role in the country’s wind power sector,” said Hausmann, who is also CEO of Siemens Northeast Asia. Read More…

A Squad of environmental scientists from HarvardUniversity and TsinghuaUniversity has established the tremendous potential for wind-generated electrical energy in China. By utilizing voluminous metrological information and integrating the Chinese government’s energy bidding and fiscal limitations for rendering wind power, the researchers approximate that wind exclusively has the potentiality to satisfy China’s electrical energy requirements projected for 2030.

China’s aerogenerator production capacity can satisfy the domestic demand, so more wind power companies are extending reaches to the international market, said Shi Pengfei, vice president at the Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA).

In order to help domestic aerogenerator manufacturers export their products to Africa and undertake the local wind power projects, The Export-Import Bank of China (China Eximbank) is actively preparing loans for the wind farm projects in Africa. Meanwhile, some companies quicken their steps toward the overseas M&As (mergers and acquisitions). Read More…

To Liu Lei, it was meaningful to take the subway instead of driving to reach the China Energy and Environment Summit, which concluded in Beijing on Nov 3.

“After a heavy snow Sunday (Nov 1), it’s really cold in the morning. I spent nearly one hour on Metro Line 5 and Line 10 to come to the venue,” said the 44-year-old man, who is a chief advisor to a Taiwan software company. Read More…
