據(jù)國際能源機構(gòu)（IEA）統(tǒng)計，中國的電力需求在 2004至2030年間有望增長250%，屆時二氧化碳的排放 量將增加一倍多，2030年達到10,425Mt。目前中國的能 源消費結(jié)構(gòu)依賴于價格易波動的煤、天然氣和石油等化 石能源，受到日益嚴(yán)重的生態(tài)環(huán)境破壞的制約。國家環(huán) ?？偩旨皣医y(tǒng)計局有關(guān)報告估計，2004年中國環(huán)境污 染的國民經(jīng)濟成本為5118億人民幣（640億美元），占 國民生產(chǎn)總值的3.05%，即當(dāng)年中國“綠色GDP”占GDP總 量的97%。風(fēng)能是一種清潔的永續(xù)能源，不存在燃料價格風(fēng)險，在 風(fēng)機壽命期內(nèi)發(fā)電成本穩(wěn)定，不存在外部能源依賴性， 沒有環(huán)境成本，因此，風(fēng)力發(fā)電在降低中國電力供應(yīng)風(fēng) 險和長期發(fā)電成本，以及減少對燃料價格依存度方面能 夠發(fā)揮重要作用。而且，風(fēng)力發(fā)電可以加強中國的能源 供應(yīng)安全，節(jié)約寶貴的自然資源，培育國產(chǎn)工業(yè)的發(fā) 展，促進農(nóng)村電氣化。清潔的風(fēng)電可以明顯降低與發(fā)電 相關(guān)的環(huán)境成本，減少二氧化碳的排放。這些優(yōu)勢還將 帶來明顯的經(jīng)濟效益，特別是諸如北部和西北風(fēng)力資源 豐富的邊遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)，可以作為風(fēng)機制造的理想選址。中國在太陽能熱利用方面已經(jīng)占據(jù)了領(lǐng)先地位，風(fēng)能的 開發(fā)利用可以作為一個新的增長領(lǐng)域。促進風(fēng)能的開發(fā)利用可以扶持中國民族設(shè)備制造業(yè)的發(fā)展，并形成中國 本土的風(fēng)機供應(yīng)鏈以及全球風(fēng)機制造及服務(wù)基地。中國 已經(jīng)具備了雄厚的制造業(yè)基礎(chǔ)，因此，發(fā)展全球領(lǐng)先的 風(fēng)力發(fā)電和設(shè)備制造業(yè)對中國而言并非難事。全球的風(fēng)力發(fā)電產(chǎn)業(yè)正以驚人的速度增長，在過去10年 平均年增長率達到28%，有70多個國家的裝機容量超過 了15,000 MW，全球安裝總量達到了74,000 MW，意味 著每年在該領(lǐng)域的投資額達到了180億歐元（或230億美 元）。2006年，全球風(fēng)電資金中9%投向了中國，總額 達162.7億人民幣，或16.2億歐元。因此我們相信，風(fēng)電產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展對中國而言具備經(jīng)濟和 環(huán)保雙重價值。中國通過可再生能源法的實施，已經(jīng)向 著正確的發(fā)展方向做出了很多工作和努力。自2006年 1月1日可再生能源法正式生效以來，中國新增風(fēng)電裝機 容量超過了1,300 MW，風(fēng)電市場增長迅速。

China’s electricity demand is expected to increase by 250%  between 2004 and 2030, according to the International  Energy Agency. The CO2 output during this time will more  than double, reaching 10,425Mt by 2030. China’s current  national energy portfolio is dependent on flfl uctuating coal,  gas and oil prices and the increasing cost of the related  environmental damage. A report published by the Chinese  State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and the  National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) estimated that pollution  cost the country 511.8 billion yuan (US$64 billion) in  economic losses in 2004, or 3.05% of the total economic  output, putting the country’s “green GDP” at 97 percent of  the original GDP. Wind power is a clean and inexhaustible power generation  solution with zero fuel price risk, a fifi xed cost throughout  the lifetime of the turbine, no external energy dependencies  and no environmental cost. Wind energy can therefore play  an important role in reducing the risk and long-term cost  of electricity generation in China and the exposure to fuel  price volatility. Moreover, wind energy will enhance the  country’s security of energy supply, save valuable natural resources, foster domestic industry development and help  rural electrififi cation. By producing clean power, wind energy  will also signififi cantly decrease power generation-related  environmental costs and CO2 emissions. This could provide  signififi cant economic benefifi t, some of it in more remote  locations such as North and North-west China where wind  resources are best and manufacturing could be located.China already has proved itself a leader in terms of the  use of solar energy, and wind energy can become the new  area of growth. Promoting wind power in China will foster  the development of the local wind equipment industry,  eventually leading to a China-based supply chain for the  turbine industry, global turbine manufacturers of Chinese  origin and China-based global service providers. Given  China’s traditionally strong manufacturing base, the country  could easily become a global leader in terms of wind power  generation and equipment manufacturing.The global wind energy industry has been growing at a  breathtaking rate, by an average of 28% per annum in the  last 10 years. During the year 2006, over 15,000 MW of  wind power capacity have been installed in more than 70  countries, bringing the global total installed capacity up to  74,000 MW. This can be translated into an annual investment  volume of over €18 bn or US$23 bn. In 2006, around 9% of  this amount was invested in China, representing an economic  value of 16.27 bn RMB or €1.62 bn.We therefore believe that growing wind energy in China  makes both economic and environmental sense. The Chinese  government has already taken considerable steps in the right  direction with the Renewables Energy Law, which entered  into force on 1 January 2006. Since then, over 1,300 MW of  wind power have been installed in China, and the market is  growing rapidly.
