Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 公共事務研究所 === 105 === Since the end of the 1970s, China’s economy has been growing rapidly. However, based on fossil fuels, the development of long-term extensive way causes a series of problems. Meanwhile, more and more countries widely use renewable energy. Among all of the renewable energy sources, wind energy has great potential for utilization. Thus, in the past few decades, wind power plays an important role in many countries. In response to climate change and energy revolution, Chinese government committed to install 200,000 MV wind power turbines until 2020. In 2005, China adopted new law on Renewable Energy. Subsequently, headed by National Development and Reform Commission, central government made a series of Wind Power Policy. At the end of 2015, the Chinese wind industry had installed 145,109 MW wind power turbines, generating approximately 3 percent of China power. However, with the rapid growth of wind power, problems appear in policy implementation. Six regions of northern China face grid constraints, while in eastern and southern China, local government is in a dilemma whether to build more wind power turbines or thermal power plants. Policy implementation plays an important role on wind power development. Based on policy implementation theory, I focus cases of Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces by documentary analysis, in order to understand the policy implementation model of wind power policy in China. And then I test resources, institution, policy implementer, stakeholder and organization, these 5 factors’ influence on implementation of wind power policy. In conclusion, there is a Top-down model of Wind power policy implementation in China.On on hand, central government set a goal and make wind power policy, on the other hand, local government is responsible for policy implementation. In the process, central government encourages local government to develop wind power through decentralization. However, both of Jiangsu and Guangdong did not achieve their goals in 12th Five-Year period. The results are affected by lack of resources and institution, the interest of policy implementer and stakeholder, especially insufficient organization. In the future, we should consider more on the role of local government and coordination. Under the relationship between central government and local government, how to encourage local government to promote the development of wind power becomes more and more important.
