China's Wind Power VI
Chinese Domestic Suppliers
Although China’s wind turbine generator industry has been developing for more than 20 years, it still remains in a research phase. By 2002, there were nearly 10 wind turbine generator manufacturers in China: six generator manufacturers, two joint ventures, and three research and development entities. By the end of 2004, the installed capacity of locally-made wind turbine generators reached 48.5megawatts, accounting for 18% of China s accumulated wind turbine generators. That figure increased to 28% by 2005. China still has to import 90% of its large-capacity wind turbine generators.
Chinese manufacturers and their key products:
- Xinjiang Goldwind Co. China s largest wind turbine manufacturer with a 20% market share. Manufactures 600 kilowatt and 750 kilowatt wind turbines. Made a prototype of 1.2 megawatt wind turbine. More than 400 units in operation.
- Zhejiang Yunda Co. Manufactures 120 kilowatt, 200 kilowatt, 250 kilowatt and 750kilowatts wind turbines. More than 45 units in operation.
- Shenyang Industry University (Shenxin Co.) Manufactures 75 kilowatt and 200 kilowatt wind turbines. Developing a 1 megawatt wind turbine.
- Wandian Co. Manufactures 600 kilowatt wind turbines. 6 units in operation.
- Shanghai Bluesky Co. Manufactures 300 kilowatts wind turbines. 2 units in operation.
- Dalian Heavy Machinery. Developing and manufacturing 1.5 megawatt wind turbines with German-based Furlander.
Chinese Wind Turbine Manufacturers Licensing Technology:
- Dongfang Electric Group. Developing and manufacturing 1.5 megawatt wind turbines with German company REPower’s license.
- Baoding 550 Co. Developing and manufacturing 1 megawatt wind turbines with the German-based Furlander Corporation’s license.
- Xi’an Weide Co. A joint venture of Xi’an Aero Engine Co. with the German-based Nordex Corp. Manufactures 600 kilowatt wind turbines.
Foreign suppliers of wind turbines to China:
European government financing has helped European companies penetrate the China’s wind power equipment market and occupy a dominant position. Danish equipment comprises 52.37% of in-grid wind power projects in China, followed by Germany 20.27%, Spain 8.05%, the United States 3.75% and the Netherlands 3.74%. By 2004, Danish company NEG Micon dominated the wind turbine market in China, occupying a 35% market share.
Foreign manufacturers and their country of origin:
NEG Micon, Denmark
Nordex, Germany
Vestas, Denmark
MADE, Spain
GE Wind, USA
Nedwind, Netherlands
Zond, USA
Bonus, Denmark
Gamesa, Spain
REPower, Germany
More than 30 Chinese companies, including the five large power generation companies, are building wind farms in China. The total investment exceeds USD1.24 billion. The largest wind power investor is Longyuan Power Co. under China Guodian Corporation. By the end of 2005, the installed capacity of wind power under Longyuan Power s operation reached 416megawatts, 40% of the national total. It has another 564megawatts of new capacity under construction now.
