China will remain as largest wind market: report

It will add 70GW to 80GW annually until 2030.

China is seen to remain the largest wind market globally with expected annual installations of between 70 gigawatts (GW) and 80 GW for the rest of the decade.

In a report, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) said that China needs to add 250 to 300 GW of wind power from 2021 to 2025 to meet the Chinese government’s targets.

China targets to have non-fossil fuels account for 25% of the country’s primary energy mix by 2030. The National Energy Administration also predicted that wind and solar development will double by 2025 from 2020 levels, with renewables accounting for over 80% of the total new electricity consumption.

With 758GW wind and solar capacity connected to the grid by end-2022 and over 80GW wind turbine orders announced and awarded last year, the council expects China to reach its 1,200 GW solar and wind target by 2025, five years ahead of schedule.

“With annual installations of 70–80 GW for the rest of this decade, there is no doubt that China will remain the world’s largest wind power market,” the report read.

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.
