China is the world leader in wind power generation, with the largest installed capacity of any nation [1] and continued rapid growth in new wind facilities. [2] With its large land mass and long coastline, China has exceptional wind power resources: [3] Wind power remained China's third-largest source of electricity at the end of 2021, accounting for 7.5% of total power generation.
China alone had over 40% of the world's capacity in 2023. [3] Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [4] Denmark produced 58% of its electricity from wind in 2023, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022. [3]
The company started wind turbine production in 2007, with a prototype of 1.5 MW designed by aerodyn. In 2010, Ming Yang started SCD production (2.75MW and 3.0MW). The SCD (Super Compact Drive) is an innovative two blade turbine by aerodyn (Husum WindEnergy AWARD 2009). In 2013, the new offshore SCD 6.5 wind turbine was presented.

However, use of wind energy in China has not always kept up with the remarkable construction of wind power capacity in the country. [8] In 2008 China was the fourth largest producer of wind power after the United States, Germany, and Spain. [32] At the end of 2008, wind power in China accounted for 12.2 GW of electricity generating capacity.
But China is also deploying the panels and wind turbines at home at a record pace. Wind and solar today comprise at least 16% of China’s electricity output. Nuclear power now makes up just 5%.
The Gansu Wind Farm Project or Jiuquan Wind Power Base is a group of large wind farms under construction in western Gansu province in China.The Gansu Wind Farm Project is located in desert areas near the city of Jiuquan in two localities of Guazhou County and also near Yumen City, in the northwest province of Gansu, which has an abundance of wind.
