China dominates global wind turbine orders in 2022

The market accounted for 70% of the order capacity during the year.

China dominated the global wind turbine orders in 2022, accounting for 70% of all order capacity, Wood Mackenzie reported.

The global wind turbine order intake reached a record high of 134.6 gigawatts during the year with annual investments estimated at $74.2b.

“We’ve seen incredible activity in China, but its soaring numbers have somewhat masked a slowdown from western OEMs, which have been impacted by supply chain challenges and cost increases,” Luke Lewandowski, Wood Mackenzie Research Director, said.

“This has negatively impacted both new order intake and installation activity outside of China.”

Wood Mackenzie noted the growth in China is driven by the compliance of developers to the 14th 5-year plan.

Outside China, the order intake declined by 15 year-on-year to 41GW, which is around 9GW off the four-year average.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
