In 2009 for the global wind energy market, it is very difficult year, credit and investor confidence decreased. However, as wind power is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main ways, many governments have already indicated that he would continue to support the national policy of the wind generator industry. On the issue of energy security and global warming concerns, as well as the increased demand for electricity in developing countries and Japanese competitive wind farm construction costs, have decided the global wind power market will grow steadily, policy support and other factors will be to make wind energy industry to survive the financial crisis.

World-renowned growth consulting company Frost & Sullivan research shows that in recent years, global wind turbines industry, in general, show a sustained, rapid development trend of the growth of the world’s wind power industry in key areas began to shift from Europe to Asia and North America. In 2008 the world’s new wind power installed capacity of about 27.26 million kilowatts, an increase of 29% over last year, the cumulative installed capacity reached 121 million kilowatts, an increase of 42%. 2008, global wind generating capacity of 2,600 kilowatts, in the global proportion of total generating capacity in 2000 from 0.25% to 2008 by 1.5%.Cumulative wind power installed capacity up to 10 countries accounted for 86% of the world’s total installed capacity.

The status quo of China’s wind energy industry

The size of the Chinese mainland for the development of small wind turbines resources are mainly concentrated in the interior of the northeast, northwest, north and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau areas, such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and other places, as well as the southeast coast and nearby islands, its annual wind speed at 3m / s over time of nearly 4000h or so, in some areas the average annual wind speed of up to 6 ~ 7m / s and above, with a great value to the development and utilization.

As the wind energy resource-rich, China’s wind power industry, long-term development prospects, but growth will slow down compared to previous years. China’s installed capacity of wind power from 2001 to 402,000 kilowatts up to 2008’s 8.38 million kilowatts, since 2004 China’s installed capacity of wind power growth has been higher than the global average. Frost & Sullivan estimated that by 2020 the total installed capacity of wind power in China will exceed 150 million kilowatts in 2009, -2,020 compound annual growth rate of total installed capacity will be 20% -30%, and much lower than in previous years, close to 100% of the installed capacity ofgrowth.

China’s wind energy market investment opportunities

The Chinese government will soon introduce a new energy industry revitalization plan will greatly increase the wind power installed capacity. According to Frost & Sullivan forecast that by 2020, China’s wind power installed capacity will break 150 million kilowatts, the state will focus on construction of the following six Grade 10 million kilowatts of wind power base: Gansu Jiuquan wind power base of 10 million kilowatts-level total installed capacity of construction planning35.65 million kilowatts, has completed the first phase of the wind turbine to invite tenders. The rest of 10 million kilowatts of wind power base in the planning stage are as follows: 20 million kilowatts, Xinjiang Hami planning; Inner Mongolia plans to build 50 million kilowatts, of which Mengxi 20 million kilowatts, 30 million kilowatts Mondon; Hebei planning in coastal and northern areas of the building of 1000 MW; Jiangsu Province plans to build 10 million kilowatts, of which offshore 7 million kilowatts.

China’s current investment in wind farm developer is mainly the central and local state-owned power generation enterprises and state-owned energy enterprises, private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises less. New installed capacity in 2008, the five power generation groups and energy group projects about 76%. Wind power operators in the degree of concentration is increasing.
