Chinese wind power firms lifted by project approvals

Share prices climbed Wednesday after China approved over 100 new wind power projects.

Sinovel Wind Group Co., one of China's leading wind turbine producers, surged 4.13 percent to 5.29 yuan (0.84 U.S. dollars). Shares of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co. gained 0.95 percent to 5.32 yuan. XJ Electric Co. rose by the daily 10-percent limit to 18.83 yuan.

The projects are spread over 16 provincial-level regions in central and east China, including Shanxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Hubei and Hunan, Wednesday's China Securities Journal reported.

Many Chinese wind farms are sitting idle, as the speed at which they have been connected to the country's power grid has lagged behind the speed of the sector's expansion.
