China’s exploitable wind energy resources will increase as wind turbine technology advances, potentially making wind a key component of the country’s energy demand mix in the future. The country’s exploitable onshore wind energy reserves are 1,750 GW, assuming that mature technologies are used and taking the return on investment into consideration. The data for average wind energy reserves and average annual turbine operating hours in the provinces show that the onshore wind power fleet can provide 4,897.1 billion kWh of electricity annually. Onshore wind energy resources alone could supply 58.9% of the country’s total electricity demand of 8,312.8 billion kWh in 2021.

摘要

China’s exploitable wind energy resources will increase as wind turbine technology advances, potentially making wind a key component of the country’s energy demand mix in the future. The country’s exploitable onshore wind energy reserves are 1,750 GW, assuming that mature technologies are used and taking the return on investment into consideration. The data for average wind energy reserves and average annual turbine operating hours in the provinces show that the onshore wind power fleet can provide 4,897.1 billion kWh of electricity annually. Onshore wind energy resources alone could supply 58.9% of the country’s total electricity demand of 8,312.8 billion kWh in 2021.
