China is planning to increase total wind power capacity by 22% this year, reiterating the government’s plans to keep renewable energy development high.
The news was published on the country’s (Mandarin) National Energy Administration website. Bloomberg Business, which translated the statement, said that the Chinese Government is aiming to develop 30.83 GW of wind power this year, which is relatively in line with the 33 GW the country developed in 2015.
Bloomberg notes that, though last year’s tariffs drove much of the installed capacity, “the support levels on offer this year are generous enough to keep drawing in investment.”
