Considering increased global emphasis on energy security, low-carbon economy and environmental governance, the proportion of renewable energy will increase in national power grid systems. Wind power generation will play an important role in China's future power systems. Environmental uncertainty will affect the time-varying correlation between carbon efficiency and the performance of the wind power enterprises. Panel data from 2011 to 2018 is used to analyze the development status and existing problems of the wind power industry; further, with the data, the dynamic conditional correlation coefficient is calculated through the DCC-GARCH model, and the breakpoint analysis method is used to analyze the impact of policy and the economic environment on the time-varying correlations between carbon efficiency and the performance of wind power enterprises. The results show that during the China-US trade war, the sudden trade policy changes that increased tariffs led to a sharp rise in interdependence. The relevant polices inspiring the wind power industry are positively correlated with the dynamic conditional correlation coefficient, while the financial performance of alternative fossil fuels is negatively correlated with the dynamic conditional correlation coefficient.
