Four of the five biggest producers in 2023 were China-based companies, up from just two in the prior year, according to a BloombergNEF report released Wednesday. Goldwind Science & Technology Co. retained the top spot, while Envision Energy Co. took second place from Vestas Wind Systems A/S. General Electric Co. and Siemens Gamesa were pushed out of the top five.*****China accounted for about two-thirds of global additions of onshore and offshore wind last year, and while the nation’s manufacturers lifted sales overseas they continued to rely on their home market for about 98% of deployments, according to the report.
