CHINA will soon start construction on its second installment of wind power projects for the 2011-2015 period, Liu Tienan, minister of the National Energy Bureau, has said.
The first group of wind power projects for the 2011-2015 period was announced in August 2011, with a total installed capacity of 28.83 million kilowatts. The NEB said it will not approve any wind power projects that are not part of the two approved groups.
China's newly-added installed wind power capacity is likely to exceed 20 million KW in 2011, a higher growth compared to that in 2010, according to Qin Haiyan, secretary-general of the China Wind Energy Association.
But China's wind power generators failed to meet last year's target due to infrastructure issues that prevented most of the electricity generated via wind turbines from reaching the country's power grid, according to Shi Lishan, deputy director of the NEB's new and renewable energy department.
It is estimated that China likely generated 70 billion kilowatt-hours (kwh) of wind power in 2011, up 40 percent from 50.1 billion kwh in 2010.
