The Chinese government has established ambitious targets of 5,000 megawatts (5 gigawatts) of offshore wind power installed by 2015 and 30,000 megawatts by 2030. Supplying large amounts of wind energy close to the country’s huge east coastal cities would help meet demand… Over 20 Chinese companies collaborated with the Carbon Trust to assemble [three] reports…China is developing about 1,000 megawatts of nearshore projects, but technical and commercial barriers are hindering these efforts…[The Carbon Trust] team developed three key recommendations…Collaborate on European Joint Industry Projects…Develop Operational Experience through Co-Investment…Establish Offshore Wind Farm Zones…” click here for more
