Energy regulators in China are using new rules to encourage cross - regional wind projects , as part of Beiing 's efforts to reduce the amount of renewable energy being wasted . At present about 12 % of all wind power generated in China is lost as a result of problems with inadequate access to grids . China 's State Energy Administration has now published guidelines which set a target of no more than 5 % of electricity being wasted , and gives priority to projects which can supply different regional markets and which require commitments from end - users to invest in better transmission capacity .
