China’s wind power market to rebound in 2023: report

New grid-connected capacity declined by 21%YoY in 2022, Wood Mackenzie reported.

China’s wind power market is expected to rebound in 2023 after new grid-connected capacity dropped by 21% year-on-year in 2022, Wood Mackenzie reported.

Luke Lewandowski, Wood Mackenzie Research Director, attributed this decline to the strict lockdown policy that significantly limited capacity additions in the last quarter of 2022.

“The projects unable to connect in Q4 will help boost the outlook in China for 2023,” he said.

Wood Mackenzie noted the wind power developers in the region are poised to nearly double the amount of their annual capacity year-on-year.

Over the 10-year outlook, annual capacity additions in China will average 80GW and account for 50% of new capacity globally.

Excluding China, the rest of the world added 44GW in 2022, a 4%YoY decrease.

Lewandowski linked this to inflation as well as supply chain disruptions that delayed more than 3GW of projects into 2023 and beyond, providing a boost to the near-term outlook.

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.
