Installed capacity grew 105 percent last year.

Chinese industry experts believe that by about 2020, wind power will likely surpass nuclear power as China's third-largest source of electricity, after thermal and hydro power.

Wind power comprised 1.5 percent of China's total installed capacity in 2008, when the country became the world's fourth-largest wind power market.

The three-day event, which attracted 237 overseas companies, is due to conclude Friday in Shanghai.
