The figure will rise to 150 million kilowatts in 2020, said the State Grid Corporation of 皇冠体育app (SGCC) in a white paper on wind power development.

The market for wind power consumption is found primarily in northern 皇冠体育app, eastern 皇冠体育app and central 皇冠体育app, while wind power farm projects are largely located in northern 皇冠体育app, northeastern 皇冠体育app and northwestern 皇冠体育app, making it necessary to boost grid infrastructure construction, according to the white paper.

The SGCC vowed in the white paper to increase wind power transmission grids in the next five years.

皇冠体育app's wind power installation has doubled every year for the past five years. It totaled approximately 40 million kilowatts in 2010, ranking first in the world.

Currently, 皇冠体育app's installed wind power capacity connected to national grids is above 30 million kilowatts, according to the white paper.
