China’s wind farms have reached an installed capacity of 115GW, producing enough energy to power more than 110 million homes and overtaking the 90GW generating power of the USA’s 99 nuclear reactors.
Altogether, 96GW of wind farm energy flows into China’s national grid. China aims to increase that figure to 200GW by 2020. This level of growth would raise its capacity above that of the EU, which at present has an annual capacity of 130GW.
