Q1 2019 wind power operational statistics

According to industry statistics, from January to March 2019, nationwide newly installed wind power capacity was 4.78 GW, of which 120 MW offshore wind power. Cumulative grid-connected installed capacity reached 189 GW。In January through March 2019, nationwide generation of wind power was 104.1 TWh, an increase of 6.3% on the same period last year；Average wind power productivity was 556 full-load hours, down 37 hours from last year。In January through March, total curtailment of wind power was 4.3 TWh, down 4.8 TWh on the same period last year；The national average wind power curtailment rate was 4.0%, down 4.5 percentage points on the same period last year。This continued a trend of a "double reduction" of curtailment and curtailment rate。

In January through March 2019, provinces with relatively higher wind power productivity were Yunnan (1078 full-load hours), and Sichuan (1048 full-load hours)。

In January through March 2019, curtailment was still relatively severe in Xinjiang (curtailment rate of 15.2%, with curtailment of 1370 GWh of wind power), Gansu (curtailment rate of 9.5%, with curtailment of 550 GWh of wind power), and Inner Mongolia (curtailment rate of 7.4%, with curtailment of 1300 GWh of wind power)。
