China's wind power generation by industrial enterprises above the designated size reached a new high of more than one trillion kilowatt-hours in 2025, according to China Electricity Council on Sunday.
China has ranked the first worldwide in terms of the installed wind power generation capacity for 15 consecutive years, the council said.
"By the end of 2025, China's installed wind power generation capacity had reached about 640 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 16 percent of the country's total installed power generation capacity, ranking the first in the world for 15 consecutive years. In 2025, the wind power generation by industrial enterprises above the designated size exceeded one trillion kilowatt-hours," said Liu Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Planning and Development Department under China Electricity Council.
"Enterprises above the designated size" is a statistic term used in China to refer to industrial enterprises each with an annual main business revenue of 20 million yuan (2.78 million U.S. dollars) or more.
China is an indisputable global powerhouse in wind energy, with wind power forming a cornerstone of its transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable development model.
In east China's Jiangsu Province, which has a 954-kilometer coastline and which is abundant in wind resources, the grid-connected capacity of offshore wind power reached 13.48 million kilowatts in 2025, accounting for approximately 30 percent of the national total and ranking the first in the country. The province contributes 30 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity to the Yangtze River Delta region in east China each year.
In Ulanqab City of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the first phase of a wind farm has generated a total of 7.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Its second phase, with a capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, is scheduled for completion and entry into operation in 2026.
"We are stepping up preparations for the second phase of the project which has a generation capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. We will ensure that the project is operational as soon as its construction is completed, providing reliable support for clean and low-carbon development of energy in regional areas," said Wang Weiliang, a manager at the Hexige Wind Storage Power Station under the State Power Investment Corporation.
China plans to add a combined installed capacity of over 200 million kilowatts of wind power and solar power in 2026, to further accelerate the pace of green and low-carbon transformation of energy.
