Adriana Trujillo on 16 Feb 16The total number of idle turbines in China more than doubled to 15% last year, according to the China's National Energy Administration. The report said that the country added a record-breaking 33 gigawatts of installed wind capacity last year, but its idle wind generation has climbed 69% since 2014. Observers say slowing consumption rates and more coal-fired power plants have contributed to the problem.
