The Chinese power group generated nearly 5.9 million MWh of electricity from its wind farms, up 8.78% from the same period in 2013. Coal power generation fell 10.72% on the year to roughly 2.3 million MWh.
The group’s installed wind capacity reached 11.9GW, up 12.96% from the first three months of last year.
Its wind business spans all of China, but it has installed the most capacity in the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Liaoning, as well as western Gansu province and the Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang regions.
