BEIJING — China has seen a steady rise in its wind power capacity, with 4.7 gigawatts of on-grid capacity added in the first quarter of the year, the National Energy Administration announced on April 28.

China’s total on-grid wind power capacity reached 101 gigawatts by the end of March, surpassing the 100-gigawatts target by 2015 set by the government, according to the administration.

During the January-March period, China’s wind farms produced 45.6 billion kilowatt hours of electric power, up 18.6 percent year-on-year, the data showed.

China has been working to increase its share of non-fossil fuels in the power mix, including hydropower, wind power, solar power and nuclear power.

The State Council released an action plan on energy development for 2014-2020 last November, promising more efficient, self-sufficient, green and innovative energy production and consumption.
