China wind power installed capacity 'likely to rise 64%'
Adjust font size:

Installed capacity in China's wind power sector will grow 64 percent this year to 20 million kilowatts, organizers of the 3rd China (Shanghai) International Wind Energy Exhibition and Symposium 2009 forecast Friday.

Installed capacity grew 105 percent last year.

Industry experts believe that by 2020, wind power could surpass nuclear as China's third-largest source of electricity, after thermal and hydro power.

Wind power comprised 1.5 percent of China's total installed capacity in 2008, when the country became the world's fourth-largest wind power market.

The three-day event, which attracted 237 overseas companies, is due to conclude Friday in Shanghai.
