“…Shen (2019) investigated how government regulation affected stakeholders. They uncovered that the delegation of approval authority promotes the growth of regional wind power and suggest that governments carefully consider the trade-off between different levels of approval authority [ 32 ]. Yock (2016) conducted research based on the conflict argument on wind energy (i.e., natural environment in conflict with economic prosperity) from the perspective of institutional logic and the evolution of organizational fields [ 30 ].…”

“…Moreover, it is the most rapidly growing and the most promising renewable energy source [ 30 , 31 ], which has drawn great attention from governments and companies in recent years. For example, the Chinese government has promulgated a series of subsidies and tax credits to support companies involved in wind technology [ 16 , 32 ]. These initiatives have greatly contributed to sustainable economic development and ensured energy security.…”

A firm’s embedding structures in a technology competition network can influence its propensity for innovation ambidexterity. Using PCT (patent cooperation treaty) patent data of wind energy companies between 2010 and 2019, we adopted social network analysis and fixed-effects panel negative binomial regression to examine the impacts of network structural features on firm innovation ambidexterity. The results show that competitor-weighted centrality contributes to a firm’s propensities for both incremental and radical green innovation. In contrast, a firm’s embeddedness in small-world clusters can moderate the effect of the firm’s competitor-weighted centrality positively on its incremental innovation but negatively on its radical innovation. The study makes three theoretical contributions. First, it enriches the understanding of how the competition network affects innovation ambidexterity. Second, it provides new insights into the relationship between competition network structures and technology innovation strategy. Finally, it contributes to bridging the research on the social embeddedness perspective and green innovation literature. The findings of this study have important implications for enterprises in the wind energy sector regarding how competitive relationships affect green technology innovation. The study underscores the importance of considering the competitiveness of a firm’s rivals and the embedded structural features when devising green innovation strategies.

“…Gupta et al [23] analyzed the relationship between fiscal mechanisms and wind power capacity in 15 countries and 10 states in the United States from 2006 to 2017. Shen et al [24] found that different levels of government exercise approval power will affect the growth of regional wind power installed capacity. Lin et al [25] showed that the demand-pull policy promotes wind power technology innovation through the on-grid tariff policy, and the higher the wind power on-grid tariff, the larger the wind power technology patent stock.…”

In 2015, the new installed capacity of global renewable energy power generation exceeded the newly installed capacity of conventional energy power generation, marking a structural change in the construction of the global power system. With the continuous improvement of wind energy utilization technology, the global wind power industry has developed rapidly in recent years. The world's available wind energy is 20 billion kilowatts and has become one of the most economical green power. In China, wind power has become the third largest source of electricity, with the installed capacity increasing from 3.1% in 2010 to 9.2% in 2017. In 2017, China's new installed capacity was 19,660 MW, accounting for 37.45% of the world's new installed capacity. This paper evaluates and compares the efficiency of wind power industry in the four regions of eastern, central, western and northeastern China through EBM models based on radial and non-radial factors. This paper discusses the contribution of China's wind power industry to CO2 emission reduction from the relationship between installed capacity efficiency and CO2 emission reduction efficiency. The conclusions show that the overall efficiency score and ranking of wind power in 2013-2017 is the best in the eastern region, followed by the northeast region and the western and central regions.

“…Government participation is crucial to developing new energy projects worldwide, particularly in developing countries [27]. Many countries promote wind power through various policies, such as direct subsidies, lower taxes, and quotas [21], and such government incentives have been remarkably effective in wind energy development.…”

Wind power is widely used and creates value worldwide. However, it also poses a threat to the survival of soaring birds. This study focuses on the role of government restrictions in mitigating the adverse effects of wind power on soaring birds. We used an overall research method to identify research questions, selected typical wind farms from different provinces and topographic landscapes in China for descriptive analysis, and supported by data from environmental impact reports, government gazettes, and walk-through surveys, analyzed and concluded that government restrictions can be used as a means of weakening the impacts of wind power generation on soaring birds. And our findings suggest that site control for wind farms that have not yet been established, restrictions on the timing of power generation for wind farms in operation, and ecological restoration of wind farms that have caused environmental damage are effective implementation options for government restrictions. Additionally, the policy strengths of the above government restrictions are guided, recommended, and mandatory, respectively. Government restrictions can serve as an effective means of mitigating the negative impact of wind power on soaring birds, generating economic value while maximizing the protection of soaring birds’ subsistence. Based on our findings, we call on governments to pay attention to the negative impacts of wind farms on soaring birds and put forward three concrete and feasible recommendations, expecting countries to enact governmental constraints to find a balance between economic, social, and ecological benefits.
