This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed on August 16, 2012 (as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the original Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

“20,539,306 newly issued Ordinary Shares were allocated to Ms. Ling Wu as part of the purchase consideration paid by the Issuer in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest indirectly held by Ms. Wu in China Smart.

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Items 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

“On May 18, 2015, the Issuer, Ms. Ling Wu and Ms. Yuan Li, an independent third party, entered into a share purchase agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit B, pursuant to which the Issuer agrees to acquire, and Ms. Wu and Ms. Li agree to sell, an aggregate of 97.51% equity interest in China Smart Electric Group Limited, or China Smart, a Cayman Islands company, that were indirectly owned by Ms. Wu and Ms. Li through their respective wholly-owned holding entities. In exchange, the total consideration paid by the Issuer to Ms. Wu was RMB213,493,658 in cash and 20,539,306 newly issued Ordinary Shares. The total consideration paid to Ms. Li was RMB79,051,074 in cash and 7,605,163 newly issued Ordinary Shares. The closing of the transaction contemplated under such share purchase agreement occurred on May 20, 2015. On May 18, 2015, the Issuer also entered into share purchase agreements with other independent third party shareholders of China Smart to acquire an additional aggregate of 1.48% equity interest in China Smart. As a result, upon completion of the acquisitions, the Issuer obtained 98.99% equity interest in China Smart and it expects to acquire the remaining 1.01% from other shareholders in the near future.

The payment of the cash portion of the purchase consideration is subject to the schedule as follows: (1) 60% to be paid within three months, (ii) 20% to be paid within six months, and (iii) the remaining 20% to be paid within twelve months, from May 18, 2015. The share portion of the purchase consideration comprises Ordinary Shares of the Issuer newly issued at US$3.49 per ordinary share.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
