According to industry statistics, in the first half of 2020, China added 6.32 million kilowatts of new wind power capacity connected to the grid nationwide, including 5.26 million kilowatts of onshore wind power and 1.06 million kilowatts of offshore wind power. As of the end of June, the country’s cumulative installed wind power capacity reached 217 million kilowatts, with 210 million kilowatts from onshore wind farms and 6.99 million kilowatts from offshore wind projects. In terms of the distribution of new installations, the majority were concentrated in five provinces and regions: Shanxi, Hebei, Xinjiang, Shandong, and Ningxia, contributing 710,000 kW, 650,000 kW, 500,000 kW, 490,000 kW, and 400,000 kW, respectively. Meanwhile, wind power generation during the first half of the year totaled 237.9 billion kilowatt-hours.

On June 22, the National Energy Administration released the "Guiding Opinions on Energy Work for 2020." The key expected targets include:
**Energy Consumption:** Total national energy consumption will not exceed 5 billion tons of standard coal. The share of coal in energy consumption is projected to decline to around 57.5%.
**Supply Assurance:**
- Oil production is expected to reach approximately 193 million tons.
- Natural gas output will be around 181 billion cubic meters.
- Non-fossil fuel power generation capacity will reach about 900 million kilowatts.
**Quality and Efficiency:**
- Energy system efficiency and the utilization rates of clean energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic power will continue to improve.
- By year-end, eligible coal-fired power units in western regions will complete ultra-low emission upgrades.
**People's Well-being:**
- An additional 1 billion square meters of clean heating areas will be introduced.
