By the first half of this year, there had been more than 40 wind farms in China with a total installed capacity of 764,000 kilowatts, accounting merely for 0.17 per cent of the country's total installed capacity, which was learned from the Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering on September 21.

Relevant data show that there is a greater gap for China in wind energy exploitation in comparison with international levels. In the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where wind power develops the fastest across the nation, the installed capacity of wind power is only 125,500 kilowatts, making up 2 per cent of the total installed capacity of the region.
