How China can ramp up wind power
Boston MA (SPX) Jun 23, 2016
China has an opportunity to massively increase its use of wind power - if it properly integrates wind into its existing power system, according to a newly published MIT study. The study forecasts that wind power could provide 26 percent of China's projected electricity demand by 2030, up from 3 percent in 2015.
