  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IASs”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“Listing Rules”).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

  • 2.2 New standard and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, except for the adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) effective as of 1 January 2016. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The nature and the impact of each new standard or amendment is described below:

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. 2.2 New standard and amendments adopted by the Group (continued)

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

IFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferral account balances upon its first-time adoption of IFRSs. Entities that adopt IFRS 14 must present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financial position and present movements in these account balances as separate line items in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The standard requires disclosure of the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s rate-regulation and the effects of that rate-regulation on its financial statements. IFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Since the Group is an existing IFRS preparer and is not involved in any rate-regulated activities, this standard does not apply.

Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, must apply the relevant IFRS 3 Business Combinations principles for business combination accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation if joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party. The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is a part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group given that the Group has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants

The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture . Instead, IAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under IAS 16 at accumulated cost (before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of IAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer plants, IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group as the Group does not have any bearer plants.

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. 2.2 New standard and amendments adopted by the Group (continued)

Amendments to IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying IFRS and electing to change to the equity method in their separate financial statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. First-time adopters of IFRSs electing to use the equity method in their separate financial statements will be required to apply this method from the date of transition to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Group is accessing the impact on the Group’s separate financial statements.

Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycle

These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. They include:

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets (or disposal groups) are generally disposed of either through sale or distribution to owners. The amendments clarify that changing from one of these disposal methods to the other would not be considered a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5. The amendments must be applied prospectively.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

  • (i) Servicing contracts

The amendments clarifiy that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and the arrangement against the guidance for continuing involvement in IFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement must be done retrospectively. However, the required disclosures would not need to be provided for any period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies the amendments.

  • (ii) Applicability of the amendments to IFRS 7 to condensed interim financial statements The amendments clarifiy that the offsetting disclosure requirements do not apply to condensed interim financial statements, unless such disclosures provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent annual report. The amendments must be applied retrospectively.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits

The amendment clarifies that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used. This amendment must be applied prospectively.

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The amendment clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. This amendment must be applied retrospectively.

These amendments do not have any impact on the Group.

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  2. 2.2 New standard and amendments adopted by the Group (continued)

Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify, rather than significantly change, existing IAS 1 requirements. The amendments clarify:

  • the materiality requirements in IAS 1

  • that specific line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position may be disaggregated

  • that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements

  • that the share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, and classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss

Furthermore, the amendments clarify the requirements that apply when additional subtotals are presented in the statement of financial position and the statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

The amendments address issues that have arisen in applying the investment entities exception under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements . The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value.

Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that only a subsidiary of an investment entity that is not an investment entity itself and that provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. The amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures allow the investor, when applying the equity method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries.

These amendments must be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group as the Group does not apply the consolidation exception.

  1. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has four reportable operating segments as follows:

  • (a) the wind turbine generator manufacturing and sale segment engages in the research and development, manufacture and sale of wind turbine generators and wind power components;

  • (b) the wind power services segment provides wind power related consultancy, wind farm construction and maintenance services;

  • (c) the wind farm development segment engages in the development of wind farms, which consists of wind power generation service provided by the Group’s wind farms as well as the sale of wind farms, if appropriate; and

  • (d) the others segment mainly engages in the operation of water treatment plants under the service concession arrangement and finance leasing services, which comprises direct finance leasing and sale-lease back.

Management monitors the operating results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit or loss, which is a measure of adjusted profit or loss before tax. The adjusted profit or loss before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit before tax.

Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

The Company has been identified as a “high and new technology enterprise” and is to be entitled to preferential income tax at a rate of 15% for the three years ended 31 December 2017 in accordance with the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law.

The Company’s certain subsidiaries in Mainland China were exempted from income tax or taxed at a preferential rate of 15% primarily due to their status as “high and new technology enterprises” or their involvement in important public infrastructure investment projects that were supported by the government or development projects in the western region of the PRC.

Except for certain preferential treatment available to certain subsidiaries of the Company and the Company as mentioned above, the entities within the Group in Mainland China have been subject to corporate income tax at a rate of 25%.

Profits tax for Hong Kong has been provided at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the period.

The Group normally allows a credit period of not more than three months to its customers. For retention money receivables, the due dates usually range from three to five years after the completion of commissioning for wind turbines. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade and bills receivable relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivables balances. Trade and bills receivables are non-interest-bearing.

13. TRADE AND BILLS RECEIVABLES (continued)

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the directors are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.

The amounts due from Xinjiang Wind Power Company Limited (“Xinjiang Wind Power”) ( 新疆风能有限 责任公司 ), a shareholder holds a 13.74% interest in the Company, joint ventures and associates included in the trade and bills receivables are as follows:

Receivables for service concession agreements arose from service concession contracts to build and operate water treatment plants and were recognised to the extent that the Group has an unconditional right to receive cash from or at the direction of the designees.

Receivables for finance lease services arose from finance lease contracts to lease equipment to clients and were recognised to the extent that the Group has the right to collect rental income from clients.

Financial receivables were unbilled receivables, and were neither past due nor impaired. Financial receivables were mainly due from governmental authorities in Mainland China or several clients which have good credit records. The Directors are of the opinion that no provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.

If the wind farm project companies fail to make due payments to the Bank, the Bank is entitled to deduct the amounts from the provisions made by the Company at the designated account. If the wind farm project companies subsequently repaid the amounts due, the Bank will transfer the amounts to the Company’s risk compensation fund account; (2) if the wind farm project companies fail to make due payments to the Bank in two consecutive interest periods, the Company shall repay all the outstanding borrowings to the Bank on behalf of the wind farm project companies, then the Bank will transfer its receivables due from the wind farm project companies to the Company.

XINJIANG GOLDWIND SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2016

30. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, the current portion of pledged deposits, the current portion of trade and bills receivables, the current portion of financial receivables, the current portion of trade and bills payables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, financial liabilities included in other payables, advances from customers and accruals, the current portion of interest-bearing bank loans and other borrowing approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group’s corporate finance team headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The corporate finance team reports directly to the chief financial officer and the audit committee. At each reporting date, the corporate finance team analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer. The valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee twice a year for interim and annual financial reporting.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The fair values of the non-current portion of pledged deposits, trade and bills receivables, financial receivables, trade and bills payables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, and interest-bearing bank loans and other borrowing have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The Group’s own non-performance risk for the non-current portion of interest-bearing bank loans and other borrowing as at 30 June 2016 was assessed to be insignificant.

The fair values of listed equity investments are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of unlisted available-for-sale equity investments cannot be measured reliably because they do not have quoted market prices in an active market and the range of reasonable fair value estimate is so significant.

The Group enters into a derivative financial instrument with a financial institution. The derivative financial instrument is an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is measured using valuation techniques similar to swap models, using present value calculations; the models incorporate various market observable inputs including the credit quality of counterparties and interest rate curves. The interest rate swap is the same as its fair value.

As at 30 June 2016, the marked to market value of the derivatives is net of credit/debit valuation adjustment attributable to derivative counterparty default risk.

Management Discussion and Analysis

During the first half of 2016 the global economic situation was turbulent: different regional geopolitical risks were on the upswing, global economic recovery was lacking in strength, and developed economies’ growth rates were slowing. The Eurozone continued to have moderate economic recovery, with “Brexit” and other issues adding to European economic uncertainty. The effect of Japanese economic policy weakened, as its economic growth momentum slowed down further. The economic rebound from emerging economies overall was insufficient, as the risk of economic downfall still exists. According to a report from the International Monetary Fund, the global economic growth projected for 2016 declined from the original forecast at the beginning of 2016 of 3.6% to 3.1%.

During the Reporting Period, in the face of a complicated domestic and international situation and downwards economic pressure, the Government of China appropriately expanded aggregate demand while at the same time accelerated supply side structural reform.. Overall, the smoothing effect has been steady. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of 2016 China's GDP growth rate was 6.7%.

According to “The Analysis and Forecast Report on the Situation of Electricity Supply and Demand in China in the First Half of 2016” (《2016年上半年全國電力供需形勢分析預測報告》), published by the China Electricity Council, there was fast growth in connected wind power installation and wind power generation. Nationwide, newly installed wind power capacity reached 56.99GW, representing an increase of 31.4% YoY. Newly added non-fossil fuel energy totaled 30.24GW, also representing an increase of 31.4% YoY. Nationally, wind power generation of electrical power plants of 6MW and above grew 24.4%, and the utilization of wind power attained 917 hours, decreased by 85 hours YoY. Electrical consumption increased during the first half of 2016, and the national electricity consumption reached 2.78 trillion kWh (representing an increase of 2.7% YoY), with the growth rate increased by 1.4 percentage point YoY.

I. MAIN POLICY REVIEW

In the first half of 2016, the wind power industry maintained steady development as the proportion of wind power usage among national electricity usage continued to improve. During the first half of this year, the NDRC and NEA, in order to consolidate a basis for industry development and promote a shift towards wind energy from other energy sources, issued a number of policies to ensure wind power priority to the grid and introduced policies to enhance the proportion of wind power utilized. China’s wind power plan within the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan is scheduled to be published in the second half of 2016.

1. Introducing a Minimum Utilization Hours Policy

On 24 March 2016, the NDRC issued the “Management Measures for the Full Purchase of Renewable Energy” (《可再生能源發電全額保障性收購管理辦法》) which proposed to set a quota for annual minimum power utilization hours in wind curtailment regions. For any wind power output above the minimum hours, wind farm operators are encouraged to trade that power in the market. If renewable energy does not reach the minimum utilization hour due to thermal power’s excessive utilization, such thermal power companies shall compensate renewable energy companies for the unutilized part of the minimum utilization hour. The policy ensures that wind power projects in wind curtailment regions can earn a feasible and reasonable economic return.

45

On 5 May 2016, the NDRC published the “Notice Related to Full Purchase of Wind and Solar Power” (《關於做好風電、光伏發電全額保障性收購管理工作的通知》). According to the previously issued “Management Measures for the Full Purchase of Renewable Energy”( 《可再生能源發電全 額保障性收購管理辦法》), the document set the minimum utilization hour of wind power, which varied from 1,800 to 2,000 hours in various local provinces of the Three-North region. The minimum utilization hour is the lowest purchasing goal. Higher objectives are encouraged to be set and carried out in various relevant provinces (including regional and municipal districts).

2. Setting up a Renewables Portfolio Standard

On 29 February 2016, the NEA published the “Guidelines for Establishment of the Institution of Development and Utilization of Renewable Energy” (《關於建立可再生能源開發利用目標引導 制度的指導意見》). This document formulates that non-hydro renewable electricity for every province (including regional and municipal districts) should account for 9% of the electricity consumption by 2020. Non-hydro renewable electricity generation, except from those specialized non-fossil fuel production enterprises, should reach 9% of total energy generation by 2020. The NEA also established its first official renewable electricity green certificates trading scheme, providing flexibility for enterprises trying to complete the requirements for this 9% objective.

On 22 April 2016 the NEA published the “Notice and Suggestion Regarding the Relevant Requirements of Institution of Portfolio Standard between Coal Burning Thermal Power Units and Non-hydro Renewable Energy” (《國家能源局綜合司關於徵求建立燃煤火電機組非水可再生能 源發電配額考核制度有關要求通知意見的函》). This document requires the establishment of a mechanism for coal burning enterprises to undertake the non-hydro renewable energy generation portfolio. Furthermore, the proportion of non-hydro renewable energy of thermal power from coal burning enterprises is expected to reach at least 15% by 2020. Coal burning enterprises can meet the aforementioned target by purchasing renewable electricity green certificates or through the construction of their own projects.

3. Strengthening Adjustment and Control and Optimizing Industrial Layout

On 11 March 2016, the NEA published a “Notice Related to Works for Wind Power Consumption in 2016” (《關於做好2016年度風電消納工作有關要求的通知》). The document lays down strict control of the pace of construction of all types of energy generation projects in wind curtailment regions to avoid the worsening of the current situation. In 2015, the areas with the most serious wind curtailment (or areas with relatively quick wind curtailment growth rates) included: Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. For the time being, there is no plan to increase capacity for ordinary wind farm projects in 2016.

On 17 March 2016, the NEA published a “Notice Related to National Wind Power Development and Construction Plan in 2016” (《關於下達 2016 年全國電開發建設方案的通知》). According to the publication, the newly approved capacity for China was 30.83 GW, which every region must ratify before the end of 2016. China has still been vigorously promoting the wind power industry in areas without curtailment problems, while strictly controlling the development pace in wind curtailment regions. The document also clearly states that large-scale wind power base projects in different regions are not limited by the aforementioned annual approved capacity, and authorizes orderly advancement and construction work to these projects.

On 18 July 2016, the NEA published a “Notice Related to the Establishment of a Wind Power Construction Monitoring and Warning Mechanism” (《國家能源局關於建立監測預警機制促進風 電產業持續健康發展的通知》). This document established a wind power investment early warning

46

mechanism to guide regional investment towards wind power development. A red warning causes the relevant regions in that year to postpone all newly approved wind power projects, and suspends authorization for electrical network companies to handle connection procedures. An orange warning, in principle, generally results in the relevant regions not being able to authorize newly approved capacity. A green warning means normal and allows the regions to continue reasonable development, investment and construction.

The NEA hopes to, through effective government supervision and conduct, 1) guide companies away from wasted investments towards reasonable investment; and 2) promote a reasonable wind power project construction plan and increase wind power company investment efficiency.

4. Ways to Explore Market Transactions

On 13 July 2016, the NDRC and NEA published a “Notice on the Plan of Orderly Liberalization of Power Generation and Utilization (Draft for Comments)” (《關於有序放開發用電計畫工作的通 知(徵求意見稿)》) which encouraged those that surpass the minimum utilization hour to participate in the renewable electricity green certificates trading scheme. This act will lower the marginal cost of renewable energy through market competition and promote renewable energy sources.

On 27 July 2016, the NEA approved the issuance of the “Provisional Rules of Direct Power Sales (DPS) Under Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Power Grid (《京津唐電網電力使用者與發電企業直接交 易暫行規則》). This document requires the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Power Grid to install capacity to account for 20% of national electricity consumption by the end of 2016.

II. INDUSTRY REVIEW

1. Stable Industry Development

The wind power industry has had good development during the first half of 2016; there have been vigorous bids in the marketplace, a positive outlook on construction, all while wind power’s proportion of produced and consumed total energy is on the rise. According to data from the NEA, newly installed domestic generating capacity was 7.74 GW, reaching 137 GW in total, accounting for 9.0% of domestic generating equipment capacity, representing an increase of 1.1% YoY. China generated 120 billion kWh of wind power during the first half of 2016, representing an increase of 23% YoY. Wind power generation accounted for 4.3% of national electricity consumption in the first half of 2016, representing an increase of 0.6 percentage point.

2.Wind Curtailment in the “Three-North Region”

The situation for wind power consumption in the first half of 2016 was quite good; the average wind power utilization in Yunnan and Sichuan was 1,441 hours and 1,377 hours respectively. The average wind power use in Hebei, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia surpassed nationwide averages. However, wind curtailment in local regions worsened yet again, acting as a bottleneck stifling local industry’s development. In the first half of this year, China’s average wind power utilization was 917 hours, decreasing 85 hours YoY.

For the first half of 2016, 32.3 billion kWh of wind power was curtailed, and the average wind power curtailment rate was 21%, increasing 6 percentage points YoY. Wind curtailment was centralized in certain provinces (including regional and municipal districts) in the Northwest and Northeast regions, amongst which was: Xinjiang (45% wind curtailment rate), Gansu (47%) and Jilin (39%). The average wind power use for these regions was 578 hours, 590 hours, and 677 hours, respectively.

47

This represented a decrease of 317 hours, 109 hours, and 83 hours YoY, respectively. Wind curtailment in the “Three Norths” represented over 90% of nationwide wind curtailment.

3.Accelerating Industrialization of Technological Innovation

Technological innovation is the driving force for development in the wind power industry. Following the wind power market’s center moving from Southern China towards Middle Eastern China, there has been an acceleration of the industrialization of low-wind speed WTGs. Presently, the R&D and manufacturing of low-wind speed WTGs and extreme low-wind speed WTGs have become the focus both domestically and internationally of wind-power enterprises. High capacity and large rotor diameter models have been receiving more and more bids on the marketplace. There has also been considerable innovation in high tower technology and complete large-scale repairs. Transportation technology has also started to be actively promoted on the market.

Besides innovation in overall design and plans for installation and large-scale repairs, there has been great exploration into the fields of wind farm maintenance and operation, as well as big data technology. Establishing a digital platform promotes the wind power production industry; a higher basis of technology in operations increases energy usage efficiency and allows wind power to move forwards on its path of safety and reliability.

III. BUSINESS REVIEW

IV. OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2016

In response to the acceleration of global climate change, there is currently a structural adjustment of energy sources. Developing green, renewable energy has already become different countries’ response to climate change and the solution to sourcing clean energy. The Chinese government’s support and policies have accelerated the reform process of energy sources. Continually increasing energy efficiency as well as increasing renewable energy sources have become the guiding philosophy for the future of China’s economic development.

The “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” continues to stress the importance of developing a strong renewable energy sector. It puts forth the idea of energy revolution, the basis of which is sourcing 15% of total energy consumption from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2020 and increasing energy efficiency. Except for specialized non-fossil fuel energy production enterprises, non-hydro renewable produced energy should constitute at least 9% of all electricity production from power enterprises.

Wind power is the most mature and scaled non-hydro renewable energy source in China. It has already been widely introduced to the market and is currently attaining economies of scale; it is the centerpiece of China’s structural reform towards non-hydro renewable energy. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the wind-power market will welcome new opportunities. According to relevant policies and publications, by 2020 the wind-power industry will achieve the target of 200 million kW and will strive to reach 250 million kW, accounting for 12.5% of total installations.

Following the continual deepening of China’s structural reform for energy sourcing, and acceleration of the pace of electric power reform, reform has become clearer. The NEA has continued reform in Shenzhen, Yunnan, Guizhou and other areas of prioritized reform by creating an electrical power trading market. Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei also have a pilot program for an integrated electrical power trading market. Supportive policies have directly fostered the growth of these market trading schemes. In 2016, the rate of energy directly traded on these markets from local industry reached 30%. Progressive and practical electric energy reform policies in China have promoted clean energy consumption and improved natural resource efficiency.

With a background of active national promotion of green industry development, Goldwind has been taking full advantage of the opportunities presented to it. Through increased innovation, an expanding marketplace, transforming models and other measures, Goldwind has strengthened its WTG manufacturing advantage. In order to continue its healthy development, Goldwind continues to innovate through micro-grid capabilities and other renewable energy fields.
