@bigunionguy said ↗China is the world's largest wind power market, with over 281 GW of installed capacity, representing over half of all global wind additions in recent years. Major projects include the vast Gansu Wind Farm, with 7,000 turbines, and extensive coastal projects, leading to wind providing 16% of China's electricity. Key aspects of China's wind energy sector include:Massive Infrastructure: China's wind power capacity is the largest in the world, far exceeding the United States.Key Locations: Major wind farms are situated in the western desert areas (Gansu) and along the long eastern coastline.Global Leader: In 2023, China added nearly twice as much utility-scale wind and solar capacity as the rest of the world combined.Record Production: In March 2024, China’s wind farms set a new record by producing over 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, more than North America and Europe combined.Offshore Growth: China is also the leader in offshore wind energy, with 25 GW operational as of mid-2022.Innovation: Chinese companies manufacture large-scale turbines, including a 26-megawatt model, and are testing innovative technologies like airborne, helium-lifted floating wind turbines.Industry Leadership: Eight of the top 10 global wind turbine suppliers are Chinese, with Goldwind consistently ranking as a top global supplier.
