its leadership position. China added 30.8 GW of new

This follows a pattern of steady increase in wind based
electricity generation despite heavy curtailment. In
2012, wind-generated electricity in China was just over
a 100 TWh, accounting for 2% of the country's total
electricity output. Wind provided almost 135 TWh of
electricity in 2013, contributing 2.6% of the country's
total electricity generation . Total wind power generation
reached over 153 TWh in 2014, 2.78% of total electricity
generation. </span></b></span><br />
