The Chinese Ministry of Finance has promulgated its "Interim Procedures For Management Of Wind Power Generation Equipment Industrialization Special Funds".
This says that for the first 50 wind power units from manufacturers that meet the relevant criteria, subsidies of CNY600 per kilowatt will be granted by Ministry of Finance. This is said to be equivalent to 10% of the cost.
According to an official of Chinese Wind Energy Association t is of great importance to promote the domestic manufacturing of wind power equipment, particularly core technologies.
According to the Interim Procedures, the special funds should be used for new product research and development of wind power equipment; the beneficiaries should be Chinese-funded or Chinese holding enterprises focusing on the manufacture of wind power equipment including finished machines, vanes, gear cases, generators, convertors, and bearings.
Manufacturers that intend to apply for the subsidy should meet six criteria including independent intellectual property rights and equipment brands.
The official from CWEA also said the funds are mainly aimed at megawatt-class wind power units for these are now the mainstream in the international market. Yet there are only a few independent megawatt-class wind power unit manufacturers in China. The Interim Procedures also mention bearings and convertors — areas in which China's wind power industry is weak and mainly depends on imported equipment.

Liaoning's Largest Wind Power Farm Under Construction
September 4, 2008
Dalian Tuoshan Wind Power Farm, the largest wind power farm in Liaoning Province, is being built with an investment of CNY2.8 billion by China Power Investment Corporation.
The wind power farm is located in Tuoshan, Wafangdian, Dalian, and occupies an area of 62 square kilometers. The investment for phase I is CNY530 million and 33 wind power units, each with a capacity of 1,500 kilowatts, will be put into operation in December 2009.
Tuoshan Wind Power Farm will have a total capacity of 300,000 kilowatts — producing 700 million kilowatt-hours annually.
Currently Inner Mongolia has the most wind power units in China, with Jilin and Liaoning ranking second and third respectively.

Suzlon Green Power Commits USD5 Billion To Renewable Energy In China And India
September 30, 2008
Suzlon Green Power, an enterprise wholly owned by India's Tanti family, announced at the 2008 Clinton Global Initiative that it will bring 3,500 megawatts of electricity to nearly 10 million people.
Suzlon pledged USD5 billion in green energy assets over five years, primarily in India and China. Of the USD5 billion total project value, Suzlon Green Power will provide approximately USD1.5 billion in equity.
"The urgent global need for clean energy compelled me to dramatically expand my family's business holdings," said Tulsi R. Tanti, who is best known as the founder of the wind-turbine company, Suzlon Energy, based in India. "Our flagship business Suzlon Energy continues to focus on developing wind power solutions, offering wind turbines to the global market. On the other hand, we now commit to developing and owning green power assets through Suzlon Green Power, which will bring energy where it is needed most."
Tanti's efforts are global, with a majority of Suzlon Green Power's projects to be located in India and China, two areas with burgeoning energy needs. The company estimates that its projects will create 1,000 jobs directly and many times more indirectly, and will reduce emissions by the equivalent of seven million tons of CO2 a year.
The International Energy Agency estimates that the world's energy needs will increase by more than 50 percent by 2030, and both China and India's energy use is set to double between 2005 and 2030. Suzlon, with other global organizations, is exploring the most efficient renewable energy sources that can be scaled-up to meet this exponentially growing demand for energy.

A-Power Contracts For Wind Turbines With China National Automation Control System
October 10, 2008
Shenyang-based A-Power Energy Generation Systems has signed its second sales contract with China National Automation Control System Corporation for the sale of 50 2.7 MW wind turbines.
This is in addition to the previously announced contract with CACS for five 2.7MW units. These units are expected to be delivered by July, 2009.
These 2.7MW wind turbines will be produced at A-Power's new wind turbine production facility in Shenyang, China with components the company has secured from Fuhrlander AG and other European wind power component suppliers, which will begin arriving in November. This facility consists of two production lines with a designed annual capacity of 300 units of 2.7MW wind turbines and 420 units of 750kW wind turbines, totaling over 1.1GW in annual output.
CACS, a subsidiary of China National Machinery & Equipment Group, has been a leading provider of power generation solutions to both China and the international markets since 1981. A-Power will supply wind turbines to CACS' wind farm projects in Gansu province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
