By the end of 2014, China's installed power generation capacity was 1,360.19 million kilowatts, an increase of 8.7% year-on-year. The power generation capacity of infrastructure facilities increased by 103.5 million kW, of which hydropower increased by 21.85 million kW, thermal power increased by 47.29 million kW, nuclear power increased by 5.47 million kW, grid-connected wind power increased by 20.72 million kW, and grid-connected solar power increased by 8.17 million kW. China ranks first in the world in the installed capacity of hydropower, wind power and nuclear power, and the green development of electricity has become the mainstream.
According to the official website of the World Economic Forum, China's investment in the field of clean energy accounts for 29% of the total investment of the G20, far more than the United States and Japan in new energy investment. China is now the world's largest investor in clean energy, investing $68 billion in new energy development in 2012 and $54 billion in 2013. The "China Electric Power International Cooperation Strategy Research Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), written by the China Overseas Industry Development Association Power International Cooperation research group, pointed out that in the future, China will spend $286 billion on the development of renewable energy, and spend $376 billion on energy protection projects from 2011 to 2015. By 2020, non-fossil energy sources will account for 15% of China's total energy mix, and by 2030, this proportion will reach 20% to 25%.
Among them, international cooperation in the wind energy industry has made initial achievements. In 2014, non-OECD countries once again overtook traditional European and North American markets in terms of installed wind capacity. Non-oecd countries are led by China and Brazil, followed by Mexico and South Africa, and emerging markets have become the main force driving global wind power growth. The Global Wind Energy Council forecasts that new installations will again reach 50 GW by 2015 and 60 GW by 2018. The Indian market will see steady growth in the coming years. Latin America is emerging as a strong regional market, led by Brazil, followed by Mexico; Africa's wind power market is beginning to rise, with South Africa, Egypt and Morocco leading the way with wind power installations exceeding 1 GW for the first time in 2014.
Chinese companies are also stepping up efforts to expand the global wind energy market. The report pointed out that in 2014, a total of five wind turbine manufacturers in China exported wind turbines to foreign countries. A total of 189 units were shipped for export, with a total shipping capacity of 368.75 MW. Among them, the unit sales project accounted for 72.5% of the total exports, and the rest were EPC and investment projects. By the end of 2014, China's wind turbine manufacturers had exported a total of 937 wind turbines, with a cumulative capacity of 1761.25 MW. Among wind turbine manufacturers, Goldwind Technology has the largest export volume, followed by Sinovel Wind Power, Sany Chongneng, and Mingyang Wind Power. In 2013, Mingyang Wind Power signed a $3 billion cooperation agreement with India's Reliance Energy and China Development Bank to develop 2,500 megawatts of new energy projects in India, including wind and solar power, and Mingyang Wind Power is responsible for providing a complete set of solutions.
China's wind power "going out" is becoming an unstoppable trend. It is understood that at present, there are two main ways for Chinese wind power enterprises to participate in foreign projects, one is to directly acquire overseas wind power projects, such as Longyuan Power, Sany Heavy Energy and other companies to acquire overseas wind power projects; Another way is to acquire foreign companies, such as Goldwind Technology to take control of Germany's VENSYS, Xiang Electric Group to buy the Dutch company Darwind. At the end of 2014, CGN bought three British wind power plants from EDF to enter the European renewable energy market. CGN registered CGN European Energy Company in France, mainly engaged in the investment and acquisition, development and construction, operation and maintenance and asset management of European renewable energy projects such as offshore wind power, onshore wind power and solar power.
