China approves 10 large wind energy projects

The approval of the ten wind turbines projects signifies that China’s wind energy industry is in a fast developing period, but the lacks of core technology and effective access to power grid remains bottleneck for China’s wind power industry

The ten wind farm projects are: wind farm projects operator location capacity Feed-in tariff Yihetala II Shenzhen Energy Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 300 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Jianhua II China Power Investment Corp. Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 300 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Taipingzhao Shenhau Guohua Energy Investment Co., Ltd Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 300 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Kailu Jianhua Huaneng Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 300 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Nugusitai Huaneng Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 100 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Haorigetu Huaneng Tongliao, Inner Mongolia 300 MW 0.54 yuan/kWh Guanyun Hudian Jiangsu 100 MW 0.61 yuan/kWh Phase II Qidong Huaneng Jiangsu 94 MW 0.61 yuan/kWh Dongtai Shenhau Guohua Jiangsu 201 MW 0.61 yuan/kWh Chabei China National Nuclear Corp. Zhangjiakou, Hebei 100,000kw

By mid-March, China’s wind power installed capacity has r eached 44.5 GW, but only 31.07 GW instal led capacity has been connected to power grid. As a result, about 26-30 percent of wind farm installed capacity is running independently of power grid, far higher than the global average level of 10 percent.
