New target in place for wind power installation

China has greatly increased its national targets for wind power installations, aiming for 1.3 terawatts by 2030 and 5 TW by 2060, a move that the Global Wind Energy Council has hailed as critical for global climate efforts.
The Beijing Declaration on Wind Energy 2.0 unveiled at the China Wind Power conference in Beijing last month sets a goal for China's cumulative wind power installed capacity to reach 1.3 TW by 2030, at least 2 TW by 2035 and 5 TW by 2060.
China’s ambitious targets instill optimism that the world can meet its broader climate goals, said Ben Backwell, the council's chief executive.
The new goals mark a substantial increase from the initial Beijing declaration in 2020, which had projected at least 800 gigawatts by 2030 and 3 TW by 2060, he said.
