China is world's most capable wind power producer

China expects between 15 million and 17 million kilowatts of newly-added installed wind power capacity in 2010.

According to Li Junfeng, the vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission's Energy Research Institute, China’s cumulative installed capacity of wind power is expected to top the world and exceed 40 million kilowatts this year, an increase of about 55 percent year-on-year.

China’s wind power installed capacity as of 2009 had surged by 100 percent year-on-year for five straight years.

Li said that newly-added wind power installed capacity will be maintained at between 15 million and 20 million kilowatts per year over the next decade, reported the China Business News.
