Recent industry development and analyses
NEA requires key wind provinces in China to stop connecting projects in 2017
The Chinese National Energy Administration NEA has stopped six northern provinces from approving new projects or connecting wind energy projects to the grid this year. The move follows an overproduction of power leading to substandard wind utilization hours in 2016. MAKE’s 2017 outlook for grid-connected capacity in China remains unchanged for now, but the warning might mean an overall downside for the market.

The wind sector might finally be taking off in Colombia
Colombia’s energy regulator CREG has given new hope to the wind sector with the release of its long awaited renewable energy regulation framework. The wind sector in the country has long lagged behind its neighboring countries in Latin America in wind power production, delaying project execution despite its great resource potential. MAKE expects the new document to pave the way for real market movement in the following few months. Read MAKE’s free analyst commentary on the website: http://bit.ly/2kRCDuo
