Wind Power Development in China: A Bright Future Ahead
As of October 21, 2025, the wind power development in China has reached significant milestones. Following the recent acquisition of the state-owned China Power Investment Corporation, the country’s wind energy capacity has consistently maintained its status as a global leader for 15 consecutive years.
China’s wind power capacity has been expanding rapidly, with the latest data indicating a capacity of 578.4 million kilowatts as of this year, contributing to a total installed capacity of 5.8 billion kilowatts. This represents a 15.7% increase in wind energy capacity, while the share of wind power in total electricity generation has reached 10.1%.
According to the China Renewable Energy Society, by 2035, the share of non-fossil energy sources in China should exceed 30%, with wind and solar power aiming to achieve a total capacity of at least 6 trillion kilowatts by 2020, thus collectively generating 36 trillion kilowatt-hours of energy.
China’s wind energy resources are abundant, and the development potential is enormous. For instance, the coastal areas have wind energy resources exceeding 75 trillion kilowatts, which can provide significant power supply potential for the region. The southern coastal provinces alone can generate over 25 trillion kilowatts, aided by the widespread development of offshore wind farms.
As part of its commitment to sustainable energy, China’s wind power sector has been rapidly advancing. The country has already established export mechanisms for wind energy technologies to 57 countries worldwide, with seven companies expanding their operations internationally.
Looking ahead, the Chinese government has set ambitious targets for wind power development, aiming for an installed capacity of 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030 and 50 billion kilowatts by 2060. This trajectory indicates a strong commitment to expanding renewable energy resources.
With the integration of artificial intelligence in the wind power sector, there is a new trend emerging. This year, several companies have begun to adopt AI technologies to enhance efficiency in wind power generation. The collaboration between AI and wind energy is expected to revolutionize the industry, leading to more sustainable and efficient energy production.
In conclusion, the wind power sector in China is poised for a bright future. With significant resources, advanced technologies, and strong governmental support, the country is on track to maintain its leadership in global wind energy development.
