A senior policy development official said the plan is part of a more general goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
China's total wind power capacity now stands at 6,000MW, but by the end of 2008 it could be as high as 10,000MW. And by 2010, the central government will have boosted wind power production to 20,000MW, announced Song Yanqin, deputy director of the research management and international collaboration division of China's Energy Research Institute. The institute is part of the Beijing-based National Development and Report Commission, the agency tasked with implementing energy conservation and emissions reduction programs.
