China To Add 15-20 GW Wind Power Capacity Annually In Next Decade - Association

BEIJING -(Dow Jones)- China is expected to add 15-20 gigawatts of wind-power generating capacity annually during the next decade, the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association said Friday.

The country will likely have 40 GW of installed wind power capacity by the end of this year, up 60% from 25 GW at end-2009, the association said in a statement.

However, China's wind-power capacity only accounts for less than 3% of its total power-generating capacity, and wind power production only accounts for around 2% of its total electricity output, it said.

The country's wind power sector still has much room for development, the association added.
