2019 wind power installations and production by province
Original title: 2019年风电并网运行情况
Links: Source document (in Chinese) (link). Same statistics for (2018) (2017) (2016) (2015) 2014) (2013).
According to industry statistics, nationwide newly installed capacity of wind power in 2019 was 25.74 GW. Of this, 23.76 GW was onshore wind power, and 1.98 GW was offshore wind power. By the end of 2019, the national total cumulative installed capacity of wind power reached 210 GW, of which 204 GW onshore, 5.93 GW offshore wind power. Wind power now accounts for 10.4% of all power generation capacity。Wind power generation in 2019 was 405.7 TWh, exceeding the 400 TWh mark for the first time, and accounting for 5.5% of total power generation。
In 2019, the national average productivity of wind power was 2082 full-load hours. Regions with relatively high wind power productivity were Yunnan (2808 full-load hours), Fujian (2639 hours), Sichuan (2553 hours), Guangxi (2385 hours), and Heilongjiang (2323 hours)。Wind power curtailment was 16.9 TWh in 2019, a year-on-year decrease of 10.8 TWh. The average wind power curtailment rate was 4%, a decrease of 3 percentage points year-on-year, meaning curtailment issues have further eased。
In 2019, administrative areas with curtailment rates of wind power exceeding 5% were Xinjiang (wind power curtailment rate of 14.0%, and total wind power curtailment of 6.61 TWh), Gansu (curtailment rate of 7.6%, and total wind power curtailment 1.88 TWh), and Inner Mongolia (curtailment rate of 7.1% and total wind power curtailment of 5.12 TWh)。Added together, total wind power curtailment in these three provinces (autonomous regions) was 13.6 TWh, accounting for 81% of the national total wind power curtailment。
