Development and Reform Commission reveals that wind power installed capacity in 2015 is only 100 million kilowatts

An authoritative source from the National Development and Reform Commission's Energy Bureau revealed to reporters when attending a new energy forum in Shanghai on December 1 that the installed capacity of wind power in China is currently set at 100 million kilowatts in 2015 and 150 million kilowatts to 200 million in 2020. kilowatt. This figure is more conservative than previously reported by the media.

On October 19 this year, relevant persons from the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission once predicted that the installed capacity of wind power in China will reach 200 million and 400 million by 2020, 2030, and 2050, respectively, at the report of the “China Wind Power Development Roadmap”. 1 billion kilowatts, respectively, to meet the demand of 5% and 8%, respectively, 17%.

Earlier media reports also said that in 2015 China's wind power grid connection capacity was 150 million kilowatts.

However, the Energy Development Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that the plan for the wind power industry has been finalized and is expected to be issued later. “Many professionals hope that wind power can do more, but we think that if 100 million kilowatts can be truly connected to the grid in 2015, it will be very difficult.”
