Goldwind maintains a market share of 20-25% in the Chinese turbine market until 2024, with no significant acquisitions, mergers, or financing rounds recorded, except for the $6 billion loan in 2010; the company has received investment-grade credit ratings from S&P Global and Moody's and is the first company in China to issue green bonds (source: wikipedia.org).
