Global investments in wind energy technologies reached roughly 175 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Investment has increased considerably over the past decade. In 2011, wind energy investments amounted to 75.4 billion U.S. dollars.
With a vast territory and extensive coastline, China is particularly well-suited to expand wind power, and production has increased drastically over the last decade. However, it has been difficult for the country to make full use of the power it is already generating. As the location of many Chinese wind farms are far from urban centers, this has posed a challenge in efficiently utilizing wind power to produce electricity for the country’s needs.
