The nation installed about 32.97GW of fresh wind capacity in 2015, according to recent NEA figures, bringing cumulative installed capacity to roughly 129GW by the end of last year.
Installations soared at the end of 2015, as developers scrambled to qualify for the old subsidy rates prior to regional feed-in tariff (FIT) cuts.
However, with a record 33.9 billion kilowatt-hours of wind-generated electricity failing to reach the grid last year, the focus of development is increasingly shifting to the central and southern parts of China, where curtailment is less of an issue despite lower average wind speeds.
