ABSTRACT
Some key factors become emphases of China, such as
adjustment of energy structure, reduction of greenhouse gas,
decrease of environment pollution, and enhancement of
energy security. Wind power generation is one of the power
generation methods with mature technology and bright
future both in scale and commerce. From the beginning of
the 21st century, especially since the Renewable Energy
Law of China passed in 2005, wind energy utilization in
China moves forward rapidly. Yet some factors restricting
the advancement still need to be solved. The paper makes a
brief introduction to the wind energy resource, current
status and future prospects of wind energy in China.
1. INTRODUCTION
China is a developing country, and it is very important
during her modernization process to keep the harmony
between economy, energy and environment. China is not
only a big energy producer, but also a major energy
consumer. Currently there are four main problems
concerning energy in China: a low per capita level of
consuming energy, environment pollution, low efficiency of
using energy, and small proportion of renewable energy.
Therefore some key factors become emphases of the nation,
such as adjustment of energy structure, reduction of
greenhouse gas, decrease of environment pollution, and
enhancement of energy security. Furthermore, there is a
nationwide attention of exploitation of wind energy, which

(1) Legislation
After carrying out Renewable Energy Law of China,
Chinese government made out a series of policies and
regulations to promote the development of wind energy. It
is regulated in the management method of renewable
energy tariff and cost share: through levying the additional
renewable energy price from the users to get allowance,
collected by electricity grid enterprises and get settlement
between electricity grid enterprises in provincial level to
realize cost share through the country. Through the law of
renewable
energy
generation
management,
the
responsibility between electricity grid enterprises and
generating enterprises is specified. Electricity grid
enterprises should guarantee all the power from renewable
energy will be on grid and take responsibility of
construction and management of access system. Besides,
promote the development and utilization of wind power
with the combined policy of finance and tax, including
setting special fund for research, popularization and
application, and to offer preferential loan to developers and
manufacturers.
(2) Financing
In recent years, Chinese government has increased the
input of wind power development. NDRC and Ministry of
Finance have arranged set up special funds to support the
survey of wind energy, the large-scale construction of wind
power industry and public technical service system.
Ministry of Science and Technology has arrange set up the
special fund support in National High Technology Research
and Development Program of China (863 Program) and
State Basic Research Development Program of China (973
Program).
(3) Management
In order to make full use of the domestic resources to
develop wind energy, China now is thinking to establish an
institute to assist government with making plans, managing
projects and engineering projects invested by state and
coordinate work.
(4) Human Resource
At present, there are already plenty of people working in

5. CONCLUSION
(1) Wind energy resource is abundant in China with great
potential of development. The Chinese government attaches
great priority to wind energy among various kinds of
renewable energy. In the short term, wind energy will
contribute to adjusting energy construction, and in the long
term, it will become a pillar of energy supply.
(2) Establishing an effective incentive policies, and making
proper tariff and cost-sharing system are the important
guarantee for promoting wind power industry and fostering
wind power market.
(3) Wind energy utilization is a kind of complicated
systematic engineering concerning policy, law, technology,
economy, society, environment and education, the
development of which relies on resource integration and
collaboration.
(4) Wind energy technology is a high and new technology.
The progress of wind energy technology is the basis of
steady and sound development of wind energy, so the input
of fund and cultivation of human resource should be
accelerated.
(5) The construction of wind farms should coordinate with
the construction of electricity grid, and necessary technical
specifications and management system should be made to
keep the harmony among wind farms, electricity grid, and
users loads and thus to push the development of wind
energy towards a road of standardization.
