Chinanews, Shanghai, Oct. 20 – As a type of clean energy, wind power will become the third largest conventional power in China, only next to thermal1 power and hydropower, said experts at the China Wind Power Association at a work meeting held in Shanghai on Wednesday.

 

Chinese government has attached great importance to the exploitation of wind power. It has issued a whole battery of policies to boost the use of wind power. By the end of last year, the wind power installation capacity in China had reached 2.6 million kilowatts2, the six largest in the world. In September this year, China publicized its mid- and long-term development program for the use of renewable energy resources. According to this program, China's wind power installation capacity will reach 5 million kilowatts by 2010 and 30 million kilowatts by 2020.

 

China has one billion kilowatts of wind power resources (250 million kilowatts of wind power on land and 750 million kilowatts at sea). By devoting great efforts to the exploitation and development of wind power, China tries to improve technologies related with wind power and boost the industrial development in wind energy use. The country hopes that it can produce wind power facilities by its own efforts and wind power can become a more competitive form of energy in the market.

 

China's coastal3 area has taken an initiative in wind power use. In Shandong, for example, there are 67 million kilowatts of wind power resource, an amount 3.68 times the installed capacity of the Three Gorges4 Dam. Shandong ranks third in China in wind power resource. Located in the middle part of the coastal area, Jiangsu has the world's largest radiation sand ridges5 and it is rich in wind power resource, too. By the end of this year, Jiangsu might become one of the few provinces in China cap able of generating one million kilowatts of wind power every year. Shanghai also has rich wind power resource. At present, the country's first ocean wind field is being built near Shanghai's Donghai Bridge. When completed, the field will have a total installed capacity of 100,000 kilowatts.
