Goldwind Exceeds 100 GW Wind Turbine Installation Worldwide

Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Goldwind has said that it has achieved the key milestone by exceeding 100 GW of global installed capacity recently. The feat is achieved through successful lifting of several wind power projects in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Guangxi, Yunnan, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, etc.

Goldwind claims that it’s the first Chinese WTG manufacturer to reach this milestone. It also launched the new models GWH221-8.X-10 and GWH24X-12.X on this occassion, setting the firm on a new development journey.

Since its establishment, Goldwind claims to have has involved in the wind power field. With scientific and technological innovation capabilities at its core, the turbine maker works together with partners inside and outside the industry to raise the efficiency of renewable energy and accelerate the global energy transformation. At present, Goldwind’s business network spans 38 countries across six continents, with eight overseas regional centers in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, Middle East and North Africa, and the Russian-speaking part of Central Asia.

Goldwind was ranked first in the Chinese market for the 12th consecutive year with newly installed capacity of 11.4GW and a domestic market share of 23%. The Chinese company also claims to have achieved a global market share of about 15% with newly installed capacity of 12.7GW, also ranking first in the global market.

Goldwind said that the 100GW of installed capacity is equivalent to 11% of the world’s wind power installed capacity. This generates approximately 220 billion kWh of green power annually, which is equivalent to the annual power generation of 2.2 Three Gorges Dam, and can provide electricity for more than 76.8 million families for one year.

Wu Gang, Chairman, Goldwind, said, “The cohesion and collaboration of the Chinese wind power industry chain has also played a crucial role. Standing at this new historical starting point, Goldwind will persist in sincere cooperation with all partners to further promote the high-quality development of the wind power business.”

Last October, the firm secured an order from Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) for the supply of 111 units of GW155- 4.5 MW turbines for wind projects in Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
