China, the worlds biggest builder of wind farms, is set for its first year of slower growth in almost a decade as plans flounder for expanding offshore, hurting domestic turbine makers such as Sinovel Wind Group Co. Developers will install 18.6 gigawatts of windmills, 7 percent less than last year, according to reports. The state is curbing construction on land so that power-delivery grids can catch up with the explosive growth of wind energy in recent years.
