Beijing Declaration on Wind Energy 2.0

Beijing, China October 20, 2025| We, the representatives from more than 1,000 wind power companies around the world, gathered at the China Wind Power 2025 event in Beijing (20-22 October), focused on the theme of “Promoting Global Energy Transition and Jointly Achieving Sustainable Development.” We are committed to pooling global strength to promote the high-quality and balanced development of the wind energy industry, supporting the advancement of global climate governance, and building a global community with a shared future for humankind.

In 2020, China President Xi Jinping announced the goals of peaking China’s carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. More than 400 wind energy companies issued the “Beijing Declaration on Wind Energy” that year, setting out goals for wind power growth in China that have since been exceeded. This year, President Xi Jinping announced China’s new round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). As renewable energy practitioners promoting green and sustainable development, the wind power community once again issues the “Beijing Declaration on Wind Energy 2.0.”

We unanimously support the new round of NDCs announced by President Xi Jinping. At the recent United Nations Climate Summit, more than 100 countries submitted new national climate action plans and commitments. Many countries announced new NDCs, and over 75% of them included renewable energy development targets. This indicates that renewable energy is not only regarded by the international community as a necessary means to address climate change, but also recognized by all nations as a pillar of energy security and economic prosperity. President Xi Jinping announced China’s new NDCs, injecting confidence into the effort to promote a fair, reasonable, and win-win global climate governance system. The wind power industry is actively promoting the implementation of these goals.

We unanimously believe that wind power can play a key role in achieving the targets of the NDCs. China has abundant wind power resources and great development potential. The “Three-North” regions (Northeast, Northwest and North China) have technically and economically exploitable onshore wind resources exceeding 7,500 GW, which can provide the lowest-cost power supply through local consumption and interregional balancing. The central, eastern, and southern regions have exploitable onshore wind resources exceeding 2,500 GW, with broad prospects for intensive and efficient development suited to local conditions. Offshore wind resources within 300 kilometers of the coastline exceed 2,700 GW, and have already entered a stage of large-scale commercial development. China’s wind power industry continues to sustain high-speed and stable growth, ushering in a new era with annual installations exceeding 100 GW.

We unanimously agree that wind power is a key tool for addressing climate change, ensuring energy security, and promoting high-quality economic development. Wind power has become one of the most competitive power sources, enabling the achievement of energy transition and climate change mitigation goals in the most economical way. With wind resources widely distributed, large-scale wind power development is an important means to ensure national energy security, achieve energy independence, and promote a just transition. The wind power industry has a long industrial chain and broad coverage, driving the development of upstream and downstream industries and forming a global cluster of advanced equipment manufacturing. With the continuous deepening of international cooperation, wind power equipment and services have become an important force in promoting trade cooperation among countries.

Formulate industrial plans that align with climate goals.

According to projections by relevant international organizations, to achieve the 1.5°C target, the world must cumulatively develop 2,700 GW of wind power by 2030 and reach over 4,300 GW by 2035. Guided by the goals of China’s Nationally Determined Contributions, and accounting for resource potential, technological capacity, industrial chain resilience, and market demand, reasonable development targets should be set for China’s wind power industry. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period (2026-2030), annual installed wind power capacity shall be no less than 120 GW (including no less than 15 GW offshore wind capacity), ensuring that China’s cumulative wind power capacity reaches 1,300 GW by 2030, not less than 2,000 GW by 2035, and 5,000 GW by 2060, contributing to the early realization of carbon neutrality in the energy sector.

Improve the industrial policy system in light of the new situation.

he “15th Five-Year Plan” (2026-2030) period marks the first five years in which China’s wind power enters a stage of full market-oriented development. It is expected that national competent authorities will accelerate the improvement of institutional mechanisms, deepen power system reform, establish market mechanisms well-suited to a high proportion of wind power, and promote wind power development through market-based mechanisms. Focusing on key areas such as large-scale wind power, offshore wind power, and rural wind power, a sound management system should be established to unleash market potential. In line with the spirit of the central government, efforts should be made to curb “involution,” foster a healthy market environment, guide the industry back to the essence of value creation, uphold the bottom line of quality, eliminate vicious low-price competition, and crack down on all forms of unfair competition to safeguard enterprises’ legitimate rights and interests, and promote the high-quality development of the industry.

Strengthen technological innovation through joint efforts of government, industry, academia, and research institutions.

We aim to establish smooth communication channels and actively carry out joint research. This includes increasing support for wind power research and demonstration projects, enhancing investment in public R&D and testing platforms, and promoting breakthroughs in key common technologies and cutting-edge leading technologies. We also aim to: accelerate the establishment of a collaborative innovation system integrating government, industry, academia, research, application, and finance; carry out joint research on basic theories, key common technologies, and frontier technologies; and accelerate the transformation of research outcomes.

Promote integrated and synergistic development of wind power.

With the continuous decline in wind power costs and the growing social demand for low-carbon development, integrated development featuring multi-energy complementarity and cross-industry synergy has become an inevitable trend. Government authorities should focus on improving supporting policies in areas such as green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol production, direct green power connection, and zero-carbon industrial parks, promoting faster technology maturity through policy guidance and market-driven forces. Stakeholders should jointly accelerate the exploration and demonstration of multi-energy conversion technologies represented by green power-based hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol production, foster new models and business forms, fully leverage the aggregation effect of wind power, and transform industrial advantages into value advantages.

Continue to deepen international cooperation and promote common prosperity.

acing the current complex international situation, the international community should fully recognize that only by eliminating trade barriers can globally stable and resilient industrial and supply chains be established, and only through strengthened international cooperation can the goals of climate action, energy security, and a just transition be achieved. Countries must remain confident, work together to advance global climate governance, and accelerate the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Joint efforts should be made to foster a fair and equitable market environment, build a globally coordinated industrial ecosystem, and promote the free flow of goods and production factors. The role of international organizations should be fully leveraged to enhance consensus through bilateral and multilateral mechanisms, deepen cooperation, and promote common prosperity.

The new round of NDCs demonstrates China’s firm commitment to global climate governance. This is both a major opportunity for the wind power industry and a lofty mission entrusted by the times. We firmly believe that the benefits of wind power development will reach the whole world. Let wind power companies and professionals around the world unite and strive together for the realization of green and sustainable development!
