| Summary: | In view of the escalating global
problems associated with the environment, energy, and
natural resources, especially the increasing sign of global
climate change, wind power is receiving more and more
high-level attention on a global scale, and it has reached a
rapid rate of development as a result of the combined
efforts of various countries. The world's installed
capacity of wind power has already surpassed 100 GW, and
wind power has become an essential part of the world's
energy structure. This publication comprises three main
parts: i) part A contains the key messages emerging from the
research and analytical work undertaken by Garrad Hassan and
Partners Limited, the team of Chinese experts led by the
national energy administration, and staff and consultants of
the World Bank; ii) part B comprises the Garrad Hassan and
Partners Limited study, 'implementation guidance for
offshore and large-scale onshore wind power development in
China,' and its annexes; and iii) part C focuses on the
workshop on offshore and intertidal wind power development
in China, which was held in Beijing in January 2009, and it
includes technical notes on three main issues discussed
during the workshop, remarks by senior officials from the
Government of China, and the presentation by the World Bank
during the event. |
