China's Commission of Science Technology and Industry for
National Defense is encouraging military industrial enterprises to
accelerate the development of wind power.
"China should fully exploit technological advantages in the
military industry sector to upgrade its wind power sector and make
wind power equipment a new economic growth point for the military
industry," a statement said.
According to the statement, China will set up two to three wind
power generator manufacturers by 2020 with an annual production
capacity of 2,000 sets.
Meanwhile, China will establish eight to ten key manufacturing
enterprises by 2015, producing wind power equipment components with
an annual production capacity worth 20 billion yuan.
China boasts wind power sources of 3.2 billion kw, of which one
billion can be developed, according to previous reports.
