Beijing: Chinese wind turbines are increasingly marking their presence on the global stage. In the first half of 2024, China secured orders for 5GW of wind turbines from international markets, marking a significant 47 percent increase compared to the previous year. This data was highlighted at the 2024 China Wind Power (CWP2024) conference in Beijing, which ranks as one of the foremost wind energy events worldwide. According to Emirates News Agency, Cui Guangsheng, Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Division, New and Renewable Energy Department at the National Energy Administration of China, noted significant growth in the sector. "By the end of 2023, China had exported nearly 15.6 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines to 54 countries and regions worldwide. Additionally, among the global top 15 wind turbine suppliers ranked by new installations in 2023, ten were from China," Guangsheng stated during the event. Further insights provided by Ren Yuan, Managing Consultant at China Wind Power Research, Wood Mackenzie , reinforce China's expanding role in the wind energy sector. Yuan revealed that in 2023, China was responsible for 68 percent of the global wind capacity. Looking ahead, Yuan predicts that over the next decade, Chinese companies will capture a 25 percent market share of onshore wind turbines internationally. This ambitious goal will necessitate an acceleration in the construction of overseas manufacturing facilities by Chinese firms. The synergy between Chinese and European companies in the wind turbine sector has also been strengthening. Alfonso Noriega Gomez, Chief Economic and Commercial Counsellor at the Spanish Embassy in China, highlighted successful collaborations aimed at exploring overseas markets, citing partnerships in countries such as Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, and Portugal. "For example, Goldwind's cooperation with Sacyr Industrial for a wind farm project in Chile and with Elecnor for wind projects in Mexico showcase the potential for joint ventures in developing a dvanced technologies like floating offshore wind foundations and the recycling of parts and components," Gomez explained. Looking forward, Nicole Lu, Head of Capital Investment at the British Embassy in Beijing, emphasized potential challenges in the supply chain, particularly in Europe. "For floating foundations, until 2030, deficits are likely to occur in all regions except China," Lu stated, underscoring the critical role of China's industrial capacity and international cooperation in mitigating future supply bottlenecks in the wind energy sector.
