A $102 billion investment will be made by China in wind energy for the period between 2016 and 2020.
The National Energy Administration's plan expects the share of wind energy in the overall electricity mix to rise to 6% by 2020, up from 3.3% in 2015.
With wind energy projects, China expects around 300,000 jobs to be generated, bringing the total number of employees to 800,000.
Wind farms are expected to produce 420 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually by 2020, up from 186 billion kilowatt hours in 2015.
By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of wind plants connected to the electricity grid will reach 210 million kilowatts, up from 129 million at the end of 2015.
China is promoting non-fossil energy, including wind power, to boost its economy in cleaner and more sustainable ways. The government aims to raise the share of non-fossil energy in the energy mix to 20% by 2030, from the current level of around 11%.
China's energy mix is currently dominated by coal.
