On the big screen of China Electric Power Construction's centralized procurement center, bid price data is scrolling and refreshing one by one. When Sany Heavy Energy's total price of approximately 39.266 billion yuan for onshore wind power packages was prominently displayed in a corner of the screen, the evaluation experts present exchanged an unspoken glance - another round of price war had already begun. On this day, the highly anticipated results of China Power Construction's centralized procurement of wind turbines for 2026 were officially announced, with a total procurement scale of 35GW, like a huge chessboard, showcasing the deployment of domestic complete machine manufacturers.

The top ten on land are fiercely engaged in a melee

In the largest onshore wind power package, ten mainstream manufacturers including Goldwind Technology, Yunda Co., Ltd., Yuanjing Energy, Mingyang Intelligent, Sany Heavy Energy, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute, CSSC Haizhuang, Electric Wind Power, Dongfang Wind Power, and CRRC Shandong Wind Power were all shortlisted. From the bidding price perspective, Sany Heavy Energy leads the low price camp with a total price of about 39.266 billion yuan, followed closely by CRRC Shandong Wind Power and Goldwind Technology with a total price of about 40.331 billion yuan and 40.378 billion yuan respectively. The difference between the highest and lowest quotations exceeds 3 billion yuan, reflecting significant differences among manufacturers in cost control, supply chain management, and market strategies.

Clash between new and old forces at sea

There are a total of 9 manufacturers shortlisted for offshore wind power packages, including Goldwind Technology, CSSC Haizhuang, Dongfang Electric, Electric Wind Power, Yunda Co., Ltd., Sany Heavy Energy, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute, Mingyang Intelligent, and Yuanjing Energy competing on the same stage. In terms of pricing, Dongfang Electric is currently listed as the lowest with a price of 9.2 billion yuan, followed closely by CSSC Haizhuang with a price of 9.248 billion yuan, while the prices of traditional offshore wind power major manufacturers are mostly in the mid to high range. Although the scale of offshore wind power is smaller than onshore, its technological threshold is higher. The tight pricing of new and old forces indicates that all manufacturers are competing to seize the opportunity for specific projects in the future.

Framework plus secondary competition mode

This centralized procurement adopts a model of framework agreement and secondary competition. The framework agreement ensures a stable and reliable supplier pool for the next year, guaranteeing the security of equipment supply for large-scale project construction. The second round of competition conducted quarterly introduces a continuous price and scheme competition mechanism within the shortlisted scope, which is beneficial for further optimizing procurement costs during the project execution phase. For whole machine manufacturers, being shortlisted is just getting a ticket to the qualification competition, and the real test lies in their ability to deliver, adaptability to technical solutions, and comprehensive service competitiveness in the future. In the onshore wind power market, price competition has become the most direct weapon; In the field of offshore wind power, technology and reliability are the foundation.Editor/Gao Xue
