Global wind installs drop 14% on slower growth in China
Global wind installations were 54.6 GW in 2016, some 14% lower than the record 63.6 GW installed in 2015, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) said in its annual statistics report published February 10.
In China, the most active wind power market, annual wind installations fell from 30 GW in 2015 to 23 GW in 2016, driven by cuts to feed in tariffs, GWEC said.
