Mobile WebSiteIn the first half of 2017, wind power in China added 6.01GW of grid-connected capacity, an increase of 12% over the same period of last year. As the new tender of wind power equipment has reached 28.4GW in 2016, and the scale of China's nuclear construction yet to be completed has reached 84GW by the end of 2016, the market generally forecast that the new installed capacity of wind power in 2017 is likely to reach the peak of 30GW. However, the actual installed capacity in the first half of 2017 only reached 6GW. It is estimated that the new installed capacity will be around 25GW in the whole year, basically the same as in 2016.

With the gradual resolution of technical factors restricting the installed capacity of offshore wind power in the previous period, the newly increased installed capacity of offshore wind power in China has rapidly risen. In the "13th Five-Year Plan for Wind Power Development" released by the National Energy Administration in November 2016, it is proposed that by 2020 the construction scale of offshore wind power will reach 10GW and strive to accumulate more than 5GW of grid-connected capacity. By the end of 2016, Wind power installed capacity of only 1.6GW. It is understood that the total planned capacity of offshore wind farms in the southeastern coastal areas of our country has exceeded 56GW and the new installed capacity of offshore wind power is expected to usher in a substantial amount of output.

In the first half of 2017, the bidding of wind turbines nationwide indicated that 2.0MW and 2.5MW wind turbines have become the mainstream. In the first half of 2017, of the total wind turbine bidding volume of 15.3GW, the bidding volume of 2.0MW wind turbines reached 11.37GW, accounting for 75% of the total; 2.5MW wind turbine bidding quantity is 1.07GW, accounting for 7%.

According to the National Bureau of Energy "2017-2020 wind power new construction scale program," plans 2017-2020 the national new construction scale were 30.65GW, 28.84GW, 26.6GW, 24.31GW, the cumulative wind power installed capacity of 110.41GW, By 2020 a total of 126GW plan and grid. The future of wind power industry will overall present a new pattern with stable total volume and structural adjustment.
