On the south-east corner of Australia, the winds known as the Roaring Forties whip across from the Indian Ocean.
Key points:
Most of Tasmania s wind turbines have some form of Chinese ownership
An analyst believes investors are banking on a proposed cable to export energy to the mainland that may not stack up
Some are warning the regulator to learn the lessons of past foreign investments
As they cross Tasmania they lick its mountainous ranges, making the island one of the best spots in the world for wind farms.

Freezing Temperatures, Howling Winds Prompt Beijing Cold Weather Warning Dec 31, 2020 8:30 am | 1 comment | 754 reads
Freeze your t ts off on Tuesday? You weren’t alone. Beijing experienced the coldest day of winter so far, with temperatures ranging from -10°C down to a low of -13°C.
In addition, howling 30-50km nor-westerly winds added a significant wind chill factor, which resulted in a “feels like” temperature of -21°C, all of which prompted the Beijing Meteorological Service to issue blue gale warnings, and a cold wave weather alert for the whole city. At least it blows away the smog, right?

BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): China s offshore wind power, boosted by policy support and improved technology, has been a fast-growing segment over the past few years, and is expected to continue to do so in the next decade, insiders said.
By the end of 2019, the country s accumulated grid-connected installed capacity reached 5.93 million kilowatts, reaching its target a year ahead of schedule. The figure jumped to 7.5 million kW by September, and is set to continue growing in the coming three decades, said the China Association of Oceanic Engineering.
