Energy Systems and Technologies for the Coming Century ...

This is because China has introduced a series of preferential policies for wind energydevelopment. It had already exceeded wind energy development target for 2020, 30GW of installed capacity by 2020. The faster than expected development ofrenewable energy makes the country consider about increasing the 2020 renewableenergy target from 15% in primary energy supply to 20% in 2020. 9Meanwhile, the wind generating unit manufacturing sector is also rising quickly inChina, thanks to the booming domestic market and the supportive policies. As shownin Table 5, among the top 20 wind generating unit manufacturers on the Chinesemarket in 2010, only 4 are foreign companies. Vesta, Gamesa, GE, and Suzlontogether only supply 10% of the newly increases in wind generating capacity in Chinain 2010 (CWMA, 2011).Table 5.

TheChinese government is encouraging its enterprises to expand their expansion in theinternational market and Chinese enterprises start to set up offices abroad. Forexample, Denmark is one of the leading countries in wind technology. Suzlon, thefamous wind technology company from India, has its European headquarter based inÅrhus, Denmark. For example, Ming Yang, one of China’s big wind turbinemanufacturers, has set up a liaison office at the Risø DTU National Laboratory forSustainable Energy in Roskilde, Denmark.Figure 3.
