Industry Pulse: Azure International on International companies entering the Chinese market
For the GWEC Asia Newsletter (Aug 2019), we had an interview with representatives of Azure International to share with us on the topic how international companies seize the opportunities to enter the Chinese market starting by understanding the rules of the chinese game.
Market to watch: China
China is the world’s largest wind power market in both new and cumulative installations. In 2018, the country installed 20.2 GW of onshore wind and 1.6 GW of offshore wind, representing 44% and 37% of global market share respectively.
China will end subsidies for new onshore wind power projects at the start of 2021, with renewable projects set to compete on an equal footing with coal- and gas-fired electricity, the country’s state planning agency announced.
Altogether, China continues to be on track to lead the transition from traditional energy sources such as coal, to wind and other renewables – and they are proving that this transition can now be subsidy-free!

With 15.1 GW of wind power, Brazil is the most advanced wind market in Latin America. Since the de-contraction auction in 2017 – the first such exercise in wind power markets worldwide – five rounds of auctions have demonstrated strong interest in wind power development, with competition and pent-up demand driving prices down to record lows. Growth is on-track to continue steadily through 2023.
