Based on the NDRC’s figures, 2008 capacity utilization rates were just 76% for steel, 75% for cement, 73% for aluminum, 88% for flat glass, 40% for methanol, and 20% for poly-crystalline silicon (a key raw material for solar cells). The current project pipeline also implies less than 50% utilization for wind-power equipment manufacturers in 2010.
根据发改委公布的数据显示，在 2008 年钢铁行业的产能利用率只有 76% ，水泥 75% ，铝 73% ，平板玻璃 88% ，甲醇 40% ，多晶硅（一种生产太阳能电池板的关键原料）的利用率更只有 20% ，而目前的项目规划则暗示明年中国的风能发电企业将有超过 50% 的产能闲置不用。
