China's wind capacity follows a similar rate of growth as solar, according to Global Energy Monitor's Global Wind Power Tracker, with over 590 GW in prospective phases — nearly 530 GW of onshore capacity and 63 GW of offshore capacity.
In 2021, roughly 48 GW of wind power capacity were added to the grid in China. Total wind power capacity reached 329 GW. This figure includes 26 GW of offshore wind, most of which was added in 2021. In 2021, wind power accounted for roughly 13% of China's installed power capacity and 8% of China's electricity generation. 35
China leads the world in deployment of wind power, with more than one-third of global capacity. China has led the world in new wind power additions every year for the past decade. 34 In 2021, roughly 48 GW of wind power capacity were added to the grid in China. Total wind power capacity reached 329 GW.
Since 2012, China's wind power installed capacity has grown rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of 19.6% from 2012 to 2023, see Fig. 12.1. During this period, the annual growth rate was as high as 35% in 2015 and 2020 due to the impact of the wind power benchmark feed-in tariff reduction policy.

The Northeast China Grid has experienced a rapid development of wind power in recent years. Its installed capacity of wind power surged from 847 MW in 2006 to 8510 MW in June 2010,
Executive Summary This paper explores the trajectory of China''s energy and power generation landscape by addressing topics related to policy, technology, infrastructure, and
Total wind power capacity reached 329 GW. This figure includes 26 GW of offshore wind, most of which was added in 2021. In 2021, wind power accounted for roughly 13% of China''s installed power
Wind power generation data are in the wind_farms folder, which includes six Microsoft Excel files. The real-time power generation and weather conditions are recorded in these files.
China has the world''s largest, most complete and competitive wind power industry chain and supply chain, with strong international competitiveness in wind power equipment manufacturing.
Grid Connected Wind Power in China Since the invention of the modern wind turbine generator (WTG) in 1891, China has recognized that wind energy technology offers an effective way
The progress in north-east China highlights the importance of improving the ability of the power grid to accommodate variable wind and solar. Abundant wind resources and relatively slow
Offshore wind power may play a key role in decarbonising energy supplies. Here the authors evaluates current grid integration capabilities for wind power in China and find that
