4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Wind power plants under construction"

How big is China's Wind power?

China's wind capacity follows a similar rate of growth as solar, according to Global Energy Monitor's Global Wind Power Tracker, with over 590 GW in prospective phases — nearly 530 GW of onshore capacity and 63 GW of offshore capacity.

How much solar and wind capacity is under construction in China?

In total, the amount of utility-scale solar and wind capacity under construction in China make up nearly two-thirds of the solar and wind capacity under construction worldwide, the report found. The report follows the China Electricity Council (CEC)'s predictions from early 2024 that solar and wind capacity would outpace coal in China this year.

How much wind power does China have in 2025?

As of May 2025, China added 46 GW of new wind capacity for the year, bringing the total to 570 GW of operating capacity. A notable project is the Omattingga Wind Farm in Tibet, a 100 megawatt (MW) installation that is the world's highest-altitude wind farm. At 4,650 meters high, it produces about 200 gigawatt hours (GWh) annually.

What is China's largest offshore wind farm?

Among China's iconic projects is the 1.7 GW Yangjiang Shaba III complex in the South China Sea, China's largest deep-sea wind farm. This project alone accounts for nearly 10% of Guangdong Province's total operational offshore wind capacity.
