The wind power industry is unlikely to take off in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region unless it solves problems including high costs, according to an official from the region on June 25.

"We have no problem with investment and technology to develop the wind power industry," Zhu Qian, deputy director of the Committee of Education, Science, Culture, Health and Sports of the regional political consultative committee, told chinadaily.com.cn, "but the costs for producing wind power are too high and not competitive with traditional energy."

Overcapacity and transmitting problems also hamper the wind power industry growth, he added, without elaboration.

Xinjiang is one of the areas with the most abundant wind power resources in the country. The reserve, ranking second nationwide, is as high as 890 gigawatts, accounting for 20.4 percent of the total amount in 皇冠体育app.

Wind power is still widely believed to be one of 皇冠体育app's most important sources of clean energy, as the country strives to boost its efficiency and production during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-16).
