China's wind power industry has experienced rapid growth in installed capacity since 2005, reaching 20 GW by 2010. However, the fast expansion of the sector led to a mismatch between supply and demand, causing a decline in new installations. In 2012, the annual added capacity dropped to just 13 GW. Despite this setback, the industry began to recover from 2013 onward, showing signs of stabilization and gradual improvement.
At the start of 2013, the National Energy Work Conference set a target of 18 GW for new wind power installations, marking a 38.5% year-on-year increase. While actual performance was slightly lower, with an estimated 15 GW added that year—a 15% increase compared to the previous year—the overall outlook remained positive. The National Energy Administration also approved the third batch of wind projects totaling 28.73 GW, signaling strong policy support.
In the first quarter of 2013, the newly tendered wind power capacity reached 3.8 GW, up 74% year-on-year. By the second quarter, this figure rose to 4.1 GW, a further 86% increase. These numbers reflect growing confidence in the sector and improved project development activities.
According to data from the China Electricity Council (CEC), domestic wind power investment increased by 5.3% year-on-year in the first half of 2013, with 4.1 million kW of grid-connected wind power added. As of June, the total grid-connected wind power capacity nationwide reached 66.18 million kW, a 25.9% increase compared to the same period last year. Wind power generation grew by 39.3%, and equipment utilization hours rose to 1,011 hours, up by 91 hours from the previous year.
The overall wind power environment continued to improve, with grid-connected rates surpassing 80% in 2012—the highest level since 2007. Additionally, the rate of wind curtailment decreased, dropping to 10% in the first half of 2013, a 2% reduction from the previous year. With the commissioning of the Zhengzhou DC UHV line, wind power integration in Northwest China is expected to see further improvements.
The National Energy Administration is currently working on the "Regulations on the Management of Renewable Energy Power Quotas," aiming to set renewable energy targets at the provincial level starting in 2015. This move reflects a long-term strategy to ensure stable growth in the sector.
Wind power companies saw significant improvements in their financial performance in 2013, with many listed firms reporting better results than the previous year. At the same time, supportive policies for both wind and solar power were introduced, including the delegation of approval authority for wind projects to local governments, which streamlined the process and accelerated project development.
The National Energy Administration is also drafting “Some Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Wind Power Industry,†expected to be released later in the year. This policy aims to boost the industry’s growth and help achieve the 12th Five-Year Plan goals for wind power development.
Key players in the wind power industry include Goldwind, Sinovel, Shanghai Electric, Xiangdian, Sinoma, Tianma, Yinxing Energy, Huayi Electric, Xinmao Technology, Tianqi Stock, Times New Materials, Jiuding New Material, Great Wall Electric, Taiyuan Heavy Industry, China High Speed Transmission, Fangyuan Bearing, Axis Research Technology, Shanghai Taisheng, Tianshun Wind Power, and Longyuan Power.
Goldwind, one of the leading companies, has seen its market share grow steadily. In the first half of 2013, its share increased from 19.5% to 23.3%. The company also reported a significant rise in pending orders, reaching 8 GW by mid-year. Its gross profit margin has gradually improved, and as it advances its wind farm development and transfer initiatives, profitability continues to rise.
Goldwind achieved operating revenue of 7.119 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2013, representing a 19.72% year-on-year increase. Net profit attributable to listed shareholders reached 188 million yuan, a 387.97% increase from the previous year—marking a strong recovery and early sign of improvement in the broader wind power sector.
