China announces that the country's wind energy capacity will reach 120 GW by the end of 2015

ArabiaWeather.com - Zhu Ming, deputy director of the New and Renewable Energy Department of the State Administration of Energy in China, announced that the country's wind energy capacity will reach 120 GW by the end of 2015, and that the wind energy capacity reached 105 GW by the end of last June.

"Wind power generation has become an important part of the country's electric power supply, and needs more aid and a better level of technology and management," Ming added.

By the end of 2020, he said, Beijing aims to increase non-fossil energy to 15 percent of total primary energy consumption and promote renewable energy in production at a high rate.

It is worth noting that fossil energy is the energy resulting from materials extracted from the ground, hence the name (fossil energy, i.e. resulting from drilling and excavation in the ground), and is primarily concerned with (oil, coal and gas), while non-fossil energy is a type of of energy depends on inexhaustible renewable sources such as wind, sun and waterfalls.
