SOEs control China’s wind power sector

State-owned enterprises comprised 81% of the sector's installed capacity in 2012.

The National Energy Administration (NEA) also said SOEs controlled a sweeping majority of investment and construction in wind power projects.

It said some 1,300 companies had invested in or built wind power development projects. Of this total, 1,000 were controlled by SOEs. The largest wind power companies are also SOEs.

China Guodian Corporation has an aggregate of 13 million kilowatts of on-grid installed generating capacity followed by the China Huaneng Group and China Datang Corp., which had 8.34 million KW and 7.71 million KW of capacity, respectively.

Other major state-owned players are China Huadian Corporation, Shenhua Group, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding and China Power Investment Corporation.

A total of 1,445 wind farms were built in 2012 while 62.66 million KW of installed capacity was connected to the state grid.

China's wind power generation jumped 41% from 2011 to reach 100.8 billion KWh in 2012, or some 2% of the total amount of electricity sent through the national power grid.
