China’s wind sector marks another renewable energy milestone with the announcement of candidate bids for eight onshore wind projects across Hebei, Guangdong, Henan and Gansu provinces. These total to approximately 779.5 MW. This step moves the schemes from the procurement phase into the construction pipeline and continues to underscore China’s continuing momentum in scaling up renewable capacity.

Expected Next Step: Final turbine supplier awards. EPC contract signing. Projected construction (late 2025 through 2026)
Likely Developers: Goldwind, MingYang, Envision, Dongfang, CSIC Haizhuang
Projects Importance: Strengthens provincial grid supply. Supports China’s 2030 clean-energy milestone
Candidate awards and contractors
Among those awarded is Dongfang Wind Power who was confirmed as the first-ranked candidate for the 100 MW Sheqi project in Henan. Dongfang’s reported bid is ¥206.5 million (USD 27.5 million). This positions Dongfang to deliver turbines and balance-of-plant works at a cost of around ¥2,065 per kW (275 USD per kW).
Provincial notices for the other projects in Qinhuangdao (Hebei), Qingyuan (Guangdong), Huixian, Zhaoge, Xin’an, Anyang (Henan), and Yumen (Gansu) listed shortlisted candidate but have not yet confirmed the winning turbine OEMs or EPC contractors. The final award announcements are expected within weeks, after administrative review periods are completed.
What’s Next in China Onshore Wind Projects Bid
China’s onshore wind procurement system typically involves a candidate selection process before final contract awards. For projects of this scale (between 80 to120 MW), turbine delivery and civil works usually begin within 2-6 months of award confirmation. This is as seen with most preceeding onshore wind projects.
Additionally, competitive bids such as Dongfang’s Sheqi pricing highlight the strong cost compression in China’s domestic supply chain. Cost compression is the reduction in cost of building or operating a project over time. Prospective turbine majors for the 8 onshore wind projects totaling to 779.5 MW in latest China awarded bids include Goldwind, MingYang, Envision, Dongfang, and CSIC Haizhuang. These are expected to prominently feature in the final mix of supplier across the projects in the four provinces.
China Onshore Wind Sector Outlook
China awarding bids for 8 onshore wind projects totaling to 779.5 MW in the procurement round continues to reinforce China’s position as the world’s largest onshore wind market. With provincial authorities steadily publishing the 8 onshore wind projects bid outcomes, 2025 is shaping into another record year for installations in China.
The Asian powerhouse also has some of the world’s most powerful onshore wind turbines. This hallmark highlights the significance of China’s wind giants in improving the renewable energy sector.
Furthermore, for international stakeholders, the tender results provide an important cost benchmark and a signal of the technologies advancing in China’s domestic market.
